Parex Epoxy Putty
Parex Epoxy Putty is an epoxy resin based mortar suitable for placing using hand tools. The three component product consists of a resin base, hardener and a bag of specially graded fillers. The grading of the filling system enables application thicknesses of 25mm down to a feather edge.
For very absorbent or very dense surfaces the working area may need to be primed using Bondcoat UF giving excellent adhesion to most construction materials. Parex Epoxy Putty is easy to place using hand tools giving concrete bedding and repairs of the highest mechanical properties.
The mortar can be used to give support to concrete arises and will act as a high strength support under precast concrete and steel units. Parex Epoxy Putty is resistant to a wide range of chemicals including petroleum products. The mortar is stable to freezing and thawing.
Uses include:
Repair of concrete beams, columns, walls and floors in areas where a smooth finish is required.
Bedding applications to support precast concrete units, steel stanchions, bridge bearings, wooden blocks and baulks, anti- vibration units and other areas where strength of the highest order is required.

Instructions For Use
Preparation
Remove laitance and all loose material including dust, oil and grease to achieve a sound substrate. Concrete surfaces should be roughened to produce a mechanical key. Steel surfaces should be free of mill scale and rust. Corroded steel should be cleaned back to bright metal.
Priming
For the majority of works carried out using Epoxy Putty no priming is necessary. For porous or very dense surfaces priming with Bondcoat UF may be required.
Using Bondcoat UF, pour all of the contents of the hardener bottle into the tub containing the resin base and mix until homogeneous. Apply a thin coat of mixed primer to the work area using a stiff bristle bush. If primer is absorbed by a porous substrate, re-prime before applying mortar.
Mixing
Epoxy Putty has 3 pack sizes: TP75 – 3kg, 3 containers TP71 – 10kg, 3 containers TP72 – 32kg, 4 containers
For each pack size all containers must be used to complete the mix. Pour all of the resin and hardener into a clean mixing vessel. Mix with a slow speed high torque drill and Mortar Stirrer until homogeneous. Add the filler slowly whilst continuously mixing. After all filler has been added mix for a further minute. For larger quantities place the mixed resin system into a suitable mixer such as the Mixal or Creteangle. Start to mix and slowly add the filler. When all the filler has been added, mix for a further minute until an even colour is achieved.
