Description
EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K is a high-performance 2-component solvent-free – odorless, epoxy coating for high-traffic and daily-use areas. It has excellent adhesion, superior hardness and shows great resistance to abrasion and mechanical stress. It is highly resistant to chemicals, water and abrasion. Its special formula guarantees a durable glossy long-lasting finish. Ideal for professional and decorative hardwearing flooring finishes.
APPLICATIONS
It is applied with a roller as floor paint or with a notched trowel as a self-leveling compound after adding quartz sand with a grain size of 0.1-0.4mm in a ratio of 1:1 by weight.
- Suitable for painting concrete floors in factories, warehouses, garages, workshops, and generally surfaces that are exposed to daily wear from abrasion and chemicals.
- Suitable for high gloss decorative interior floorings.
- Suitable for application on concrete, screeds, and other surfaces when prepared properly.
- Suitable as a protective paint on concrete sewage treatment tanks (interior surface – "applied as smooth paint" - 2 coats).
- Suitable for interior use only.
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent adhesion and hardness
- High resistance to friction and mechanical stress
- High chemical resistance
- High resistance to permanent contact with water
- Ensures a durable finish
- Solvent-free formulation – ideal for interior spaces
- Gloss finish – easy to clean
- Suitable for one coat application (max. 500gr/m2)

Instructions for use
Surface preparation
- Substrate must be clean of dust and grease. Dust, oils, salts, moisture, and rust prevent paint from adhering.
- Brittle concrete and cement mortar surfaces are unsuitable for painting and the paint will peel off. Concrete surfaces must be made of concrete grade C20/25 at least, and the cement mortars must have a cement content of at least 350kg/m2.
- New concrete or cement mortar surfaces must be painted at least one month after their construction, and their humidity must not exceed 4%.
- Surfaces already painted must be thoroughly cleaned by chemical or mechanical means (e.g., mosaic sanding machine) and thoroughly sanded until a stable substrate is reached.
- After sanding the surface, carefully remove the dust with a highly absorbent professional vacuum cleaner.
- If the surface is washed with water, it must dry for 2 – 5 days before painting (<4% substrate moisture).
Priming
The surfaces must be primed with EPOXITE DUR 2K, or EPOXITE DRYMAX WET 2K when there is rising moisture, or with EPOXITE DUR AQUA 2K for simpler uses to stabilize the substrate. On surfaces with increased porosity, it is recommended to apply EPOXITE DRYMAX WET 2K mixed with M32 quartz sand in a ratio of 2:1 for better sealing. Cracks in the floor are filled either with two-component epoxy putty EPOXITE CONSTRUCT 2K or with a mixture of EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K with M32 quartz sand in a ratio of 1:2 by weight.
Application of EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K follows 12 to 24 hours after the primer application. If 24 hours have passed, the primer must be lightly sanded for better adhesion of the paint.
Application as a smooth coating:
- Components A and B are packaged in pre-determined quantities for easy mixing.
- Mix the two components after you have mixed each one very well separately (with a clean stirrer) and stir for 3 to 5 minutes carefully to mix the two components very well on the side walls and bottom of the container.
- It is suggested that you pour the mixture into a new clean container and stir again for 2 minutes. If the two components are not mixed well, uneven hardening of the paint will happen, with the possibility that some spots will not harden properly.
- After mixing the two components, wait 5 minutes and then apply the first coat. (~300gr/m2)
- The application is done with a roller in two layers. The second coat should be applied after 12 to 24 hours. (~200gr/m2)
- Alternatively, apply one layer with a total consumption of 600gr/m2 and sweep the surface with a short hair roller crosswise until a smooth result is achieved.
- The coating acquires its final properties 7 days after the application of the final layer.
Total consumption: ~500gr/m2 applied in one or two coats.
Application as a self-leveling coating:
- Components A and B are packaged in pre-determined quantities for easy mixing.
- Mix the two components after you have mixed each one very well separately (with a clean stirrer) and stir for 3 to 5 minutes carefully to mix the two components very well on the side walls and bottom of the container.
- It is suggested that you pour the mixture into a new clean container and stir again for 2 minutes. If the two components are not mixed well, uneven hardening of the paint will happen, with the possibility that some spots will not harden properly.
- Start as in the smooth coating and after the 3rd step, add quartz sand M32 to the mixture in a ratio of 1:1 by weight.
- Immediately pour the mixture on the floor and spread with a notched trowel to a thickness of 2 – 3 mm.
- Afterwards, wearing special studded shoes, cross the surface with a spiked roller until any bubbles in the mixture are released.
Total consumption: per mm of thickness: 0.8kg/m2 EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K + 0.8kg/m2 M32
Application for anti-slip finish:
- Components A and B are packaged in pre-determined quantities for easy mixing.
- Mix the two components after you have mixed each one very well separately (with a clean stirrer) and stir for 3 to 5 minutes carefully to mix the two components very well on the side walls and bottom of the container.
- It is suggested that you pour the mixture into a new clean container and stir again for 2 minutes. If the two components are not mixed well, uneven hardening of the paint will happen, with the possibility that some spots will not harden properly.
- Start as in the smooth coating and after the 3rd step, add quartz sand M32 to the mixture in a ratio of 1:1 by weight.
- Immediately after the application of the first coat, pour on the still wet surface with M32 quartz sand until saturation. (3 – 4 kg/m2)
- After about 24 - 48 hours, remove the unadhered quartz sand with a highly absorbent professional vacuum cleaner.
- Finish with a sealing layer of EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K with a roller: ~400gr/m2.
Total consumption: ~700gr/m2 EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K & 3-4kg/m2 M32 quartz sand.
REMARKS
- Application conditions: Substrate’s moisture: <4%, Surface’s and Ambient temperature: 12oC - 35oC, Relative Air Humidity: <70%.
- Freshly painted surface must be protected from excessive humidity and rain for 36 – 48 hours.
- It is advisable to use protective clothing, gloves, hat, and a mask with a filter suitable for solvents.
- If recoating is to be carried out after 48 hours, the surface must be sanded with coarse sandpaper and dust must be removed.
- Curing, as well as pot life, are affected by ambient temperature and humidity. Low temperatures and high humidity tend to increase pot life, while high temperatures and low humidity shorten the pot life.
- Before application, carefully read all instructions and information relevant to its safe and best use (Safety Data Sheet).
- After fully cured, EPOXITE HIGH BUILD 2K is totally safe for health.
