F-41 TDQ Clear UV Resistant Epoxy Quartz Trowel Down
F-41 TDQ
Product Overview
F-41 TDQ combines our low viscosity, nonylphenol-free, clear, UV resistant epoxy resin (E5) our UV resistant, cycloaliphatic amine reactant (H4) and our Quartz Trowel Down Aggregate (PN 1321 L) to create the easiest troweling material available anywhere. This combination achieves an easily closed, decorative, epoxy mortar that can be walked on within a few hours. The cured material has high compressive strength (three times that of concrete) , great impact resistance, excellent UV resistance and a broad range of resistance to chemical attack. It is virtually odor-free.
Uses
F-41 TDQ is primarily used as a decorative, epoxy overlay to protect and/or repair concrete. Because it is a mortar, it is the ideal material for sloping floors and creating ramps and transitions. It can also be troweled vertically by skilled technicians to make cove base and stunning wall finishes.
Preparation
The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO.03732 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed contact Polymer Nation at Lab@polymerNation.com.
The data below represents the most pertinent information needed by a professional installer to understand and efficiently install this material. The data was gathered at temperatures of 72-75 F and 30-50% RH. A wide array of independent and company test data has been compiled on this product but is too large to place on this Technical Data Sheet.

| Storage | 60F-90F | Store material between 60-90 degrees F in a protected dry location. |
| Odor | Subtle | |
| Coverage Per Mix | Each mix will cover 28 sq. ft. at 1/4″ theoretical coverage. A waste factor of 10-15% should be contemplated | |
| Disposal | Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc.per Federal, State and local guideline, rules and laws | |
| Available Colors | This material is manufactured in clear and receives its color once blended with PN 1321 L | |
| Mixing & Installation | A mixture consists of .5 gal A, .25 gal B and 50 LB. of C (PN 1321 L). Combine part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit (1 mix equals 4.47 gallons when Part C is added). Premix liquids at 350 RPM for 1 minutes using an appropriate mixing blade or mixing machine. Pour Part C into the mixed resin and continue mixing until a homogenous mortar is achieved (2-3 minutes usually). Pour material on floor and spread to desired thickness using a screed rake or pour material into a screed box. Follow using good hand or power trowel techniques. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone. | |
