DESCRIPTION:
Fil-Eze is a two component, 100% solids, equal volume mix, semi-rigid, heavy duty epoxy joint filler for industrial floors.
USES:
Joint filler for industrial concrete floors subjected to hard wheeled vehicles such as forklifts. Fil-Eze may be used for repairing cracks and damaged joints.
ADVANTAGES:
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Area must be clean and dry. Saw-cuts shall be blown clean and dry with compressed air to remove all excess moisture and debris. Remove curing and sealing compounds.
MIXING AND APPLICATION:
Stir both A and B components before mixing together. Mix equal volumes of Part A and Part B. Mix thoroughly with a heavy duty, low speed drill fitted with a mixing paddle. Mix until a uniform gray color with no streaks is evident. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing pail.
For neat and easy application, tape both sides of joints with masking tape. Apply with bulk caulking gun, disposable plastic dispenser or pour from the can. Fill joints flush to the top or slightly higher than the surrounding surface. To prevent Fil-Eze from running through shrinkage cracks at bottom of joint, apply a maximum of 1/4' of fine sand. A second pass prior to curing may be necessary due to the fact that all pour grade materials will 'dish' or become concave. Remove all tape and clean spills and tools immediately upon completion of installation.
