Kimitech ECA
Self-leveling three-component epoxy-cement system for resin floors and coatings
Kimitech ECA is a three-component, self-leveling epoxycement system. It has high mechanical, scratch and wear resistance. It is made out of two-component Kimitech EC epoxy resin (part A + part B) and a dry mix of hydraulic binders and additives (Kimifill K14, part C). It is suitable for pigmentation on site.
Applications
Self-leveling layer applied (colored with Kimifloor RAINBOW coloring pastes) on substrates previously primed with Kimicover FIX and pre-regularized with sealant smoothing. The water in the screed can move inside it, concentrating punctually, through an osmotic process, in areas with higher salt contents than the surrounding ones
Certifications
Kimitech ECA è marcato CE come rivestimento protettivo secondo la 1504-2, principi di intervento MC e IR.
Application
Pay attention to the preparation of the subatrates: the existing ceramic coverings must be checked, cleaned and mechanically prepared in order to reach a healthy and adherent substrate. In case of poor adhesion to the substrate, they must be removed. Any holes or irregularities in the substrate must be previously repaired with suitable Kimia products. Roughen the surface (if possible with a shot-peening machine or with a monobrush equipped with a carborundum disk) and carry out a water-cleaning (any excess water must be removed with liquid suction). Properly cured cement or resin substrates must be structurally sound (the pull-off tensile strength of the concrete must be> 1.5 MPa). Any part that is detached and does not have sufficient mechanical characteristics must be removed. To eliminate dust deposits, pre-existing coatings, rust, form-release agents, paints and varnishes, cement laitance and any other substance or material that may affect the adhesion, carefully prepare the sustrate by shot-blasting, milling, bush-hammering, staking. In case of contamination due to oils or greases, it is advisable, in particular, to mill the substrate (so as to remove the polluted cortical part) and wash the surface with warm water. Carry on a high pressure water cleaning. To prepare the mixture, pour component "B" (hardener) into component "A" (resin) of Kimitech EC and mix with a low-speed drill (200-300 per minute) until you get a perfect mixture, having care not to incorporate air during mixing. Add Kimifill K14 and continue stirring until you get a homogeneous mixture. If you wish to reach esthetic effects, the mixture can be added with pigments, oxides, glitters or water-based neutral coloring pastes.
