Epoxy putty - a universal solution for most surfaces

There are many different compositions that are used in construction and repair. Epoxy resin is the basis for plaster, adhesives and varnishes. The use of such a component ensures a high-quality bonding of the plane and the applied construction mixture, increases adhesion. High-quality epoxy fast-putty filler has many useful features and allows to create a reliable strong coating.

Features

Such products have a two-component base, which includes a resin with hardeners and fillers. The latter increase the strength characteristics, which are so necessary for heavy solutions used in the elimination of defects and significant damage to wall structures. The most widespread in the quality of fillers was purchased glass fiber and metal shavings. Finish compounds, which are distributed in a thin layer, have a minimum level of content of such additives.

Epoxy carpet putty is also used for painting metal surfaces or steel elements, and careful preparation of the planes is required to obtain the desired result.

Among the features of putty it is worth noting the average rate of solidification, which allows you not to rush after its kneading. The polymerization process begins after a certain time after distribution over the surface. Full hardening occurs in 6-8 hours, after which finishing work can be done, including painting and polishing. Epoxy putty, the price of which is 264 rubles / kg, allows you to paint the walls without forming an insulating layer.

Application

The composition does not tolerate even a small amount of solvent, so they can not be added to the mixture to prevent loss of most of the characteristics. At the same time, a temperature effect not exceeding 80 degrees is allowed.

Advantages include the lack of a primer. The preliminary work includes cleaning and degreasing the wall.

Epoxy putty has a wide scope of use:

• Leveling of the floor, ceiling and walls from a stone, wood and concrete base;
• Fastening of metal, wooden and glass planes;
• Various repair works, which are not limited to living quarters;
• Elimination of minor cracks and small damage on the surface.

What you need to know

Before acquiring a mixture, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the method of application of the material. Two-component formulations are sold in two packages - hardener and putty base. It is important to strictly observe the proportions specified in the instructions, when mixing components, and work in protective gloves. Leveling operations can begin after the formation of a uniform composition.

Epoxy putty is used for application on cleaned surfaces that may have a primer coating. The purpose, texture and type of the composition affect the application technique, it is possible to use a brush, spray or spatula.

At the end of the finish, it takes about 7 hours to freeze under normal temperature conditions. If the room is more than 25 degrees, it will take more time.

Metal surfaces

Among the features worth noting the implementation in any relevant retail outlets. It is possible to use not only for finishing works in the house, epoxy putty for metal has found its application in the repair of car bodies, while it does not require experience and special knowledge. It can be eliminated as minor defects and scratches, and through holes, and large damages. The composition includes fillers and pigments with a solution of epoxy resins, a solvent and other additives. Characterized by a high level of water resistance and is not affected by detergents and oils with a mineral base.

Strengthening and protection against corrosion formation

For the reinforcement of plaster glass-cloth mesh is used, its use is rational for the insulation of structures of various types, built on the basis of any technology. Also, previously plastered or concrete surfaces are treated with anti-corrosion protection in the manner of bituminous plates. Pre-applied primer compositions with a cold base. To improve the quality of adhesion, epoxy putty is applied after it has been brought to a warmed-up state.

Other Applications

In view of its high waterproof characteristics, it is possible to use it for repair work on boats and yachts for surfaces made of steel, fiberglass and wood. It is also effective in eliminating osmotic irregularities.

After solidification of the composition, a qualitative, durable surface is formed, suitable for grinding. Particular importance in the appearance of the vessel is a good coloring, which can not be achieved without thorough preparation of the base. It includes the application of a primer, putty and special solution to prevent the occurrence of corrosive phenomena in places of contact with water.

Also, epoxy putty is indispensable for the treatment of many surfaces during repair. Provided the walls are closed in the interior of the structure (for example, wallpapering), it prevents the development of various microorganisms and fungi.
