EPOVIS Epoxy Viscosifier

EPOVIS is Viscosifying Fumed Silica, Resin Thickener or Rheology Modifier used to thicken epoxy resin to achieve a smooth, non-sagging, high-strength mixture for coating, structural bonding, filleting and filling. EPOVIS is engineered to provide ideal thickening properties with added thixotropic and sheer thinning properties to make it easy to trowel, screed and apply to any surface.

Best Applications of EPOVIS Epoxy Viscosifier

Additional information

Features

EPOVISE can be used with any of SHIMICOAT Epoxy or Sealer products offering the following features and benefits:

Features	Benefits
Cost reduction	Over 7% savings on resin, due to optimised surface area to volume ratio.
Super Low Density	Blended products are lighter and more efficient, easier to apply and non-sagging.
Improved Rheology	Less than 50micron in size engineered fume structure with thixotropic sheer thinning properties, offering massive surface contact, easy to roll-on and easy to flow.
Dual Applications	Crack Repair & Filler Materials Screeding, Leveling and Surface Maintenance

Usage

Hairline Crack Repair: Mix Ultra Clear Epoxy A&B, add to your desired Viscosity: Screeding: Same quantity as resin used (100% by volume):

Consistency	% EPOVISE to Epoxy Blend	APPLICATIONS
Slurry	5%	Superfine Hairline Cracks
Low Vis	10%	Screeding
Mid Vis	20%	Moderate Cracks
High Vis	50%	Large Dents

Application

Use any of SHIMICOAT Clear Epoxy Resins, mix at correct ratios and add EPOVISE to your desired viscosity. Mix for 2-3 minutes and apply to your surface within curing time-frame of Epoxy product used.
For example, if using Ultra Clear Epoxy, add 1.0Lt of Part B (Curing Agent) into 2.0Lt of Part A (Resin), mix for 2-3minutes and add your desired quantity of EPOVISE. Use EpoDil “Epoxy Diluent & Thinner” to wipe and clean your tools and finish surfaces.

Preparation

Clean and dry surface. Ensure surface to be coated is free of all dirt, grease, oil, paint, curing agents and other contaminants. Removal of Oil Contamination by degreaser and alkaline cleaning pressure wash. Acid-wash to enhanced surface porosity and etch the surface. Ensure moisture free surface. Allow to completely dry, run Dry Test. Place a piece of plastic over a small area, tape the edges and leave for 1 hour. Remove plastic, if there is no moisture on either surface, concrete is sufficiently dry. Ideally, always consider surface grinding and removal of loose materials. Grinding is always advisable prior to application of all Shimicoat Epoxy products, to maximize adhesion. For further information, please refer to SHIMICOAT Instruction for “Surface Preparations”. The product can be used as filler materials with any of SHIMICOAT Epoxy products (Clear or Tinted) to form an easy flow and easy apply epoxy mortar, ideally suitable for crack and hole repair prior to coating. EPOVISE Epoxy paste is non-sagging, engineered for high strength for both horizontal and vertical applications

Application

Usage - Volume

Direction

Hairline Crack Repair

5-20%

Trawl and fill the crack.

Let it cure over-night (8-16 Hours depending on temperature)

Sand and Clear Up, to get the surface ready for Coating Application.

Screeding

10-50%

Screed over the entire floor.

Smooth off using trawl or squeegee.

Let it cure over night (8-16 Hours depending on temperature).

Mixing:

Prepare Epoxy mix by adding appropriate quantity of Curing Agent (Part B) into the resin (part B).
Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes manual or with mechanical mixer at low speed (750rmp Max).
Add the correct quantity of EPOVISE materials (depending on your application) and mix for extra 1-2min to ensure complete suspension of particles into the epoxy matrix.
Apply to the surface and use well within curing time.
