WEICON B4LM is a liquid, 2-component epoxy resin system with a high proportion of fine mineral fillers. The coating system has been approved by the Hygiene Institute of the Ruhr Area to be used in contact with aqueous and fatty foodstuffs up to 70 °C. It is used both to protect surfaces against wear and corrosion and as an adhesive. The coating is easy to apply and adheres to a wide variety of surfaces even under mechanical stress. The wear protection has very good chemical resistance and is suitable for coating a wide variety of parts, such as pumps, conveyors, lifting screws, hoppers, tanks and pipes.
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 B4LM 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.
