Cretex EP

Thorough substrate preparation is essential.

Ensure the floor is clean and all weak or loose paints or screeds are removed. Wire brushing is advisable. Sweep clean or vacuum.
Once cleared, for floors with oil and grease contamination, this must be thoroughly cleaned with our Degrease IT then rinsed off and the substrate dried, before applying Cretex EP.

Thoroughly stir both parts individually before mixing ensuring the resin is evenly dispersed, making sure you get right to the bottom of the container.
Having fully prepared the substrate, mix the parts A and B together at a ratio of 1:1 to the quantity required, whether it be a complete unit, or a spoonful for a small repair. Ensure thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation. Keep all components at room temperature 24 hours before use.

Apply by a trowel, or by hand for a small, isolated areas, wearing suitable protective gloves.
Being resin rich, Cretex EP had a typically sticky consistency and smoothing may be assisted by wetting the trowel using Polycote Solvent Cleaner as a release agent.

For vertical repairs:

Where step nosing’s or expansion joint edges have broken away, the vertical face of the repair material should be supported to prevent slumping.
Suitable sized wooden shuttering should be covered with polythene to reduce adhesion and should be removed as soon as the material is firm.
