WEICON WR2 is a pasty wear protection and is particularly suitable for areas where the processing of casting compounds is not possible such as the repair of conveyors, guide rails and sliding ways. The epoxy resin system is also used to prevent wear on metal surfaces that are subject to high abrasion and erosion. It can serve as a wear-resistant underlayer before the final coating with WEICON Ceramic BL WR2 can be used in mechanical and plant engineering, in equipment engineering, and in many other areas of industry.
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 WR2 intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy or a paint brush to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles. To fill large gaps or holes, fibreglass, expanded metal or other mechanical fixing materials should be used. Finally, the surface can be smoothed easily with the help of a PE film and a rubber roller.
