Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar

Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar is a high performance epoxy resin mortars for heavy-duty floor toppings and floor repairs.

Best Uses

Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Repair Mortar is a high performance epoxy floor screed and floor repair mortar available in a range of stock colours. Ideal for skate parks or other areas where concrete will require extra strength quality.

• Extremely hard wearing in industrial applications
• Resistant to mechanical damage
• Resistant to chemical attack
• Slip resistant finish
• Minimum thickness 5mm
• Range of colours available

Minimum thickness is 5mm, typical screed thickness is 5-10mm. Typical repair thickness is 5-50mm, single size kiln-dried aggregate may be added for thick section use. RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar offers good mechanical resistance and will resist
attack from spillage of a range of industrial chemicals including acids, alkalis, oils and fats.

Application

Substrate Preparation
To achieve optimal adhesion it is essential that RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar is applied to structurally sound, clean and dry substrates. Surfaces must be prepared after making good any defects in the floor, ensuring that friable materials are removed and replaced. Substrates must be prepared by captive shot blasting, scabbling or similar approved method to produce lightly textured, laitance free surfaces. Substrates must be cleaned to remove grease, oil and dirt.

Substrates must be allowed to dry after washing. Substrates must be vacuum cleaned, to remove loose shot and other loose materials. New concrete or screeds should be allowed to dry prior to coating. RH at the surface must be below 75% when measured with a hygrometer, or have a moisture content less than 5%.

Substrate Priming
Prime prepared surfaces with Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Primer, coverage up to 25m² per 4.5kg pack, depending on substrate porosity and texture. Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Primer must not be applied to damp substrates. A single coat of RonaFloor Epoxy DPM with a kiln-dried sand blinding may be used to prime damp surfaces or two coats may be used to prime drying concrete and polymer screeds, see RonaFloor Epoxy DPM technical data for usage instructions.

Mixing
RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar Standard is supplied as three component materials. Remove all materials from the container; pour the entire contents of the resin and hardener containers into a mixing vessel or, add component B to component A and mix thoroughly with a slow speed drill and MR 3 type paddle. Gradually add the supplied aggregate to mixed resin and mix in a forced action mixer such as CreteAngle, Baron or Daines Mixall until homogeneous. 10kg of single size 5-10mm kiln-dried aggregate may be added to 25kg of product for application thicker than 25mm. Single packs may be mixed with a 1kW slow speed drill fitted with an MR4 type paddle. The product has been designed to be used as a full pack; do not part mix.

Mixing time should be approximately 3-4 minutes. The Standard grade will have a pot life of approximately 30-45 minutes at 20°C; Rapid grade has a pot life of 15 minutes at 20°C.

Application
Place the mixed material onto the wet Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Primer. If the primer has hardened it must be thoroughly abraded if fully cured, before application of a further coat. Spread evenly in one direction with a steel float, ensuring good compaction. The surface should be closed and trowel marks removed. Overworking will adversely affect the appearance of the surface.

Sealing
RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar is a resin rich material which does not require a sealer for chemical or wear resistance. RonaFloor Epoxy Floor Mortar may be sealed with a single coat of Ronacrete RonaFloor Epoxy Primer to improve cleanability. Over-sealing will affect slip resistance.
