Weicon GL-S 0.2 Kg

The epoxy resin system WEICON GL-S provides high abrasion resistance and serves as wear protection for heavily used surfaces. It is flowable, spreadable (can be applied with a paint brush), has a high initial strength, is mineral-filled, and resistant to chemicals. WEICON GL-S is also well-suited for creating a system structure in combination with WEICON Ceramic BL. Due to its long recoat time of five hours, GL-S is especially suitable for applications at higher ambient temperatures or for larger surfaces. The different colours of Ceramic BL (blue) and GL-S (dark green) make it easy to determine the degree of wear during visual inspections. It is particularly suitable for lining heavily stressed pump casings, as wear protection for slide bearings, chutes, funnels and pipes, and for the repair of castings, valves and fan blades. The product can be used in mechanical and plant engineering, in equipment engineering, and in many other areas of industry.

Application

For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°C) at less than 85% relative humidity. The highest adhesive strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated to >35°C (>95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work WEICON GL-S intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using a paint brush to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, a second application with a paint brush or foam roller can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. A layer of approx. 0,25 to 0,50 mm can be achieved per work step. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles. Further coats can be applied in each case after approx. 5 hours (layer sequence time).
