Epoxy/PU Coving
Benefits
It is a 3-part epoxy based high strength mortar that forms an
bacterial resistant, chemical & abrasion resistant coving in the
juncture of wall & floor as well as between wall to wall.
Ideally suited for application in sterile areas for hygiene. It
can be laid in varying dimensions like 100mm x 100 mm , 75mmx100
mm which is suitable for wall to floor junction and generally 25
mm x 25mm for wall to wall pencil coving. Over coating with epoxy
coating/topping is mandatory to achieve aesthetic appeal & also to
obtain hygienic environment.
Where it Use:
Typical areas like
in the junction of floor to wall and wall to wall in sterile
areas, ICU ICU ICU s ,blood bank, etc particularly where dust
accumulation, bacterial growth is inevitable.
Easily applied as a bacterial resistant coving with a coloured antibacterial over
Has excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, with a medium resistance for impact at higher thickness of application
Can be used in preparation of perimeter edge coving upto a height of 225 mm
Joint Design :
All expansion joints , movement joints are to be brought over
through subsequent flooring system & to be treated with
elastomeric sealants. All other stable joints (dummy joints, etc)
are to be filled up prior to lay the coving as per the designed
thickness. Joints should be cleaned and then prepared.
Consult technical team for detailed specification in case of other
type of joints.
Method of Application :
1. Surface Preparation:
Surface must be
sound, dry, free from laitance, grease, oil and any other
contamination by using wire brushing or by any mechanical means.
2. Mixing of Coving:Every 17 kg unit
contains Base - 1.77 kg, Hardener - 610 gms & Filler - 14.62 kg.
3.First mix
thoroughly the entire contents of hardener into the base container
until a homogeneous mix is obtained
4. Blend the filler
aggregates in the bag manually contained in the bag and then add
the filler slowly to the previously mixed resin and hardener
container. Mix with a paddle attached heavy duty, slow speed
drilling machine to get a homogeneous mix of the screed.
Material must be
applied within the pot life period
Application:
a) Overlay Epoxy Coving on the applied primer when it is tacky.
b) Spread it uniformly within the marking made according to the
desired dimension (ex- 100 mm height by 100 mm width) by using a
steel trowel / Cornie. Keep more material at the junction for the
curvature .
c)Use a plastic / wooden rounded coving roller to roll on the
material to & fro to obtain desired curvature
d) Use proper pressure on the roller & extra material to maintain the
desired compacted thickness , smoothness at all areas of the
coving .
e) Over coating can be taken up after 24 hours of application,
ensuring that high spots, undulations, cold joint marks, roller
marks are properly rubbed down using mechanical means duly
filled up by epoxy putty.
Cleaning
Epoxy Coving should be removed from tools and equipment with epoxy solvent,
immediately after use.
