FlexPOXY HARDENER

SKU: FlexPOXY-HARDENER Category:
FlexPOXY Hardener is the curing agent for the FlexPOXY system, providing flexibility and shock-absorption when mixed at a 2:1 ratio with FlexPOXY Resin. It supports movement without cracking and resists mechanical impact in dynamic settings. It is used in tandem with FlexPOXY Resin in commercial, transportation, and industrial flooring that must tolerate vibration or flex. The system is often specified for substrates with existing cracks or where prevention of future movement damage is critical.

DESCRIPTION

The FlexPoxy system is a uniquely versatile  elastomeric hybrid epoxy and waterproofing  membrane. It is a clear, two component, low  odor, 100% solids material specially engineered  to stay flexible and tough, with good bridging  capacity for horizontal movement of up to 1/8"  without fracturing the FlexPoxy material. 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

TYPICAL USES

  •  Mechanical Rooms  
  •  Slabs-On-Deck
  •  Parking Garages  
  •  Pedestrian Decks
  •  Locker/Shower Rooms  PACKAGING
  •  5 gallon white pail - Resin
  •  5 gallon black pail - Hardener
  •  1 gallon white pail - Resinu 1 gallon black pail - Hardener
  •  50 gallon drum*Note: Although testing is critical, it is not a guarantee against future problems. This is especially true if there is no vapor barrier or the vapor barrier is not functioning properly and/or you suspect you may have concrete contamination from oils, chemical spills or excessive salts.CHECK THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: Floor temperature and materials should be between 60°F and 90°F. Humidity must be less than 95%. DO NOT coat unless floor temperature is more than five degrees over  the dew point.

 APPLICATION RANGE

A gallon of ProREZ FlexPoxy will cover in  the following manner, with a *standard  spread rate: 20-30 mils or 53-80 s.f. per  gallon. *Application of body coat is variable  in thickness depending upon condition of  substrate and type of system.

SURFACE PREPARATION

This product requires preparation in order  to perform as expected. Substrate must be  mechanically profiled (ASTM 4259-83), clean,  sound, and dry.

JOINT GUIDELINES

Depending on preference, joints may or may  not be filled. If the joints are filled, nonmoving  joints, i.e. contraction or control joints can be  treated by using ProPoxy with ProThickener or by using ProMender HF.

Note: Coating applied over filled joints may  crack if there is significant concrete movement.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Application Equipment:

  •  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & clothing per SDS (Safety Data Sheet)
  •  Jiffy® Mixer Blade (ES Model)
  •  Clean Mixing Container
  •  Low Speed /High Torque Power Drill
  •  Shed-Resistant Roller Cover- 3/8" Nap
  •  Application Squeegee

STORAGE

Materials should be stored indoors between  60°F and 90°F.

SHELF LIFE

One (1) year from date of manufacture.

LIMITATIONS

This product is best suited for application in  temperatures between 60°F and 90°F. FlexPoxy  is not designed to be applied as a finish or wear  coat. It is light sensitive to ambering over time,  and requires a UV stable topcoat. Do not apply  under ProKrete.

PRODUCTS GUIDE

1. FlexPoxy Resin is a versatile 1:1 elastomeric  hybrid epoxy designed with exceptional  built-in resiliency and functionality. With its  low viscosity, it can be easily applied when  combined with FlexPoxy Hardener.

2. FlexPoxy Hardener allows for moderate  working and cure time when combined with  FlexPoxy Resin.

PRELIMINARY FLOOR INSPECTIONS

CHECK THE CONCRETE: Concrete must  be structurally sound and free of curing  membrane, paint or other sealer. If you  suspect that the concrete has been previously  sealed, call ProREZ technical support for  further instructions.

CHECK FOR MOISTURE: Concrete must be dry  before application of this floor coating material.  Concrete moisture testing must occur. Calcium  chloride testing or in-situ relative humidity  testing is recommended. Test methods can  be purchased at www.astm.org, see ASTM  F1869-11 or F2170-11, respectively or follow  manufacturer’s instructions. Readings must be  below 3lbs/1,000s.f./24hrs (ASTM F1869-11) or  75% internal relative humidity (F2170-11).

Version 5.01.19.25 FlexPoxy

Mix ratio for FlexPoxy is 1 part Resin to 1 part  Hardener by volume. 8-16 oz. of ProColor  Universal Colorant is recommended per  gallon of material. (See product label.) When  field pigmenting, it should be added and  mixed in homogenously to the resin prior to  adding the hardener.  When combining, be  sure to add the hardener into the clean mixing  container first. Then add the resin (clear or  pigmented) scraping out the container. Always  pour into the center of the mixing container.   Mix the components thoroughly for 1-2  minutes with a Jiffler ES style mix blade. Mix  only enough material at one time that can be  applied without exceeding the pot life.

Allow floor coating to cure at least one week  before cleaning by mechanical means (e.g.,  sweeper, scrubber, disc machine).

CARE

Proper maintenance will increase the service  life and help maintain the appearance of  your new ProREZ floor coating system.  This  product is considered to be a low maintenance  coating system, however, certain textures  and service environments require specific  procedures. SEE “CLEANING GUIDELINES”  for  more information.

CAUTION

Avoid scratching or gouging the surface. All  floor coatings will scratch if heavy or sharp  objects are dragged across the surface.Do not drop heavy or pointed items on the 

floor as this may cause chipping or concrete  pop-outs in the case of a weak substrate cap.Rubber tires can permanently stain the 

floor coating from plasticizer migration. In  warehouse & industrial settings, the use of  non-marking tires is highly recommended  to prevent discoloration. Rubber burns from  quick stops and starts can heat the coating   to its softening temperature, causing  permanent marking.
