Epoxy topcoat PRASPAN® EP-C251

Praspan® EP-C251 is a two-component self-leveling, highly flowable, glossy colored epoxy system without volatile solvents for self-leveling polymer floor coatings.

The material is a colored opaque viscous liquid without foreign inclusions. Sedimentation of the filler is possible.

Praspan® EP-C251 topcoat is used as a finishing material in epoxy floor coating systems under medium and heavy abrasive loads. It is well suited for all types of retail, warehouse, automotive repair and industrial facilities. For the best coating quality, the use of the Praspan® EP-C150 base coat is recommended.

Key properties:

• excellent resistance to abrasive loads (for example, intensive traffic);
• good chemical resistance to non-concentrated alkalis and acids;
• does not contain volatile solvents and is odorless during and after application, which is especially important when working in residential areas;
• high flowability simplifies application of the material;
• smooth surface and excellent glossy finish.

The Praspan® EP-C251 kit includes:

• topcoat component – 20.9 kg;
• hardener – 4.1 kg;
• Kit mass – 25 kg.

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.
