F-11 TDK Clear Epoxy Trowel Mortar

F-11 TDK combines our clear, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin, our blended cycloaliphatic curing agent and our Trowel Aggregate PN 1324 to create the easiest troweling material available anywhere. This combination achieves an easily closed, natural epoxy mortar that can be walked on within a few hours. The cured material has high compressive strength (three times that of concrete), great impact resistance and a broad range of resistance to chemical attack. It is virtually odor-free.

Uses and Benefits

F-11 TDK is primarily used as an economical, natural colored, fast setting epoxy overlay to protect and/or repair concrete. Because it is a mortar, it is the ideal material for sloping floors and creating ramps and transitions. It can also be used to fill deep pits, cracks and voids in concrete floors and walls.

Limitations

Each kit of F-11 TDK will cover 23 sq. ft. at 1/4” theoretical coverage. A waste factor of 10-15% should be estimated. Ideal application temperatures to be between 60-90°F Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.

Preparation

The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer.
