WEICON HP is a 2-component epoxy resin with longer curing time, enormous impact strength as well as high residual elasticity and abrasion resistance. Due to its high elongation at break and paste-like texture, WEICON HP can be used for repairs, as abrasion protection as well as for lining heavily stressed equipment. The adhesive also shows excellent adhesion to wet and damp surfaces and in underwater applications.
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 HP intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy 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.
