The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at
high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quant-
ity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another meth-
od is to chill components A + B and C before mixing them (that is only when
application temperatures are above +20 °C).

The potlife begins when Parts A+B are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at low temper-
atures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into smaller quantities. Another method is to chill Parts A+B
before mixing (not below +5 °C).

across the entire substrate.

Nitobond EP should be tacky before the new concrete, screed


or mortar is placed.

The maximum overlay times (see Properties) should also be


carefully observed. Failure to apply the new concrete, screed
or mortar within the maximum overcoating time will result in
Nitobond EP becoming ‘hard’, thus creating a slip plane rather
than a bonding action.

If the maximum overlay time is missed, then the Nitobond EP


must be mechanically removed and a fresh application made.
The concrete, screed or mortar should then be applied in
accordance with the overcoating minimum and maximum
stated above.

As soon as the Nitobond EP has been applied, any required


steel reinforcement and/or formwork should be erected and

For optimal use the cartridge temperature should be be-
tween +5ºC to +40ºC. Note general storage conditions.

**The stated curing time is for dry conditions. In wet/damp


conditions, the curing time will double.

Be aware that the substrate temperature can vary signifi-


cantly from the ambient temperature.

Chemical resistance

Lokfix E77 has resistance to a wide variety of chemicals.

This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material

Pot Life ~45 min. (+25 °C)
*200 g
The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high tem-
peratures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the
shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high temperatures, the mixed
adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill components A
and B before mixing them (not below +5 °C).
Curing time Sikadur® PF can be over coated with various Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sik-
agard® resins after 12 hours and not later than 24 hours at +30 °C.
Sikadur® PF is fully cured after 7-14 days, depending of ambient temperat-
ure.

APPLICATION
Ensure that the epoxy is forced well into the repair
surface. Once the repair has been completed the sur-
face can be finished with a steel float or trowel to
achieve the desired effect. For corner repairs, it may
be necessary to install formwork to one side of the
void for easier application.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika®
