KEY ATTRIBUTES
Solvent-free – No VOC’s
Good abrasion resistance and impact strength
High compressive and tensile strength
Rapid curing and high early strength gain
STORAGE
As a basic rule, liquid containers should be kept well sealed to prevent water evaporation and skin formation. They should be stored at a constant temperature between 5 – 25°C and used within twelve months. Freezing must be avoided. The base should be kept dry, stored at 5 – 25°C, and used within nine months.
