TROWELLABLE ABRASION
RESISTANT COMPOSITE
epigen 806
A two component polymer composite based on epoxy
resin and abrasion resistant material which when mixed
according to directions, cures at room temperature to
form a tough, inert material possessing excellent wear
resistance properties and adhering strongly to suitably
treated metal, concrete and other substances.
The polymer composite comprises graded sintered
ceramic of extreme hardness and abrasion resistance.
The polymer binder cures to form an infusible material
possessing excellent wear resistance.
The surface finish may be laid as a thin film with 6mm
recommended to be the minimum. It is acceptable to
apply high builds in most situations since the thicker the
application the longer the life. Application to inverted
surfaces can be easily carried out with minimal sag.

CURE
Variations in cure may arise due to the amount of material
being applied, the thickness of material being applied, the
surface temperature, and the product temperature. The
cure may be increased by heating product or by leaving
mixed material stand for 15 minutes before use. The cure
may be decreased by cooling the product before mixing.
