Epoxy base coat PRASPAN® EP-C150

Praspan® EP-C150 is a two-component self-leveling base epoxy system for self-leveling polymer floor coatings. The material does not contain volatile solvents and is odorless.

It is suitable for service under medium and heavy abrasive loads in retail, warehouse, automotive repair and industrial facilities.

It is used as a base layer in epoxy floor coating systems under epoxy topcoats Praspan® EP-C201 AS, Praspan® EP-C251, Praspan® EP-C301 and Praspan® EP-C301 AS. The Praspan® EP-C150 base coat is not recommended as a finish layer. Mixing with quartz sand supplied in the kit is allowed.

Key properties:

• provides an excellent appearance of the finish coating;
• high flowability simplifies application;
• no odor during and after application, which is especially important when working in occupied spaces;
• can be used as a repair compound (when quartz sand is added);
• chemically resistant;
• cost efficient.

The Praspan® EP-C150 kit includes:

• base component — 25.0 kg;
• hardener — 5.0 kg.

Kit mass: 30.0 kg.

The material is a colored opaque viscous liquid without foreign inclusions. Filler sedimentation is possible; it must be thoroughly mixed before application.

Material consumption: 3.0 kg/m² (for a 2 mm layer thickness).

Crystallization of epoxy-resin-based materials

All produced materials (topcoats, primers, paints) that contain epoxy resins can harden (crystallize) during transportation or storage at subzero temperatures or under temperature fluctuations.

Crystallization is partial or complete solidification of the material. This is a normal phenomenon that does not degrade the epoxy resin and does not affect the material properties.

To decrystallize the material, it must be kept at a temperature of 40°C to 60°C for at least 2–3 hours. Since the decrystallization process at the job site is often difficult or impossible, it is strongly recommended to store and transport all epoxy products at positive temperatures in the range from +5°C to +30°C.
