P-30 Epoxy Grouting/Primer
P-30 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant.
Overview
P-30 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant. This combination achieves a rheology that makes it easy to spread but also fast to return to its resting state, especially in vertical applications.
Uses and Benefits
P-30 is most often used to fill porous surfaces such as trowel applied epoxy flooring and coving and as a concrete block filler. It can also be used as a troweling paste to assist in the application of aggregate-filled mortar on coving and vertical substrates.
Limitations
P-30 is designed to be applied between 12-20 mils. It is not intended to be used as a finish coat as it will amber. Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.
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. 310.2R-2013 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.

Mixing & Application
It is always recommended to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures. Mix ratio is 2 parts P-30 Part A to 1 part P-30 Part B. Combine all of part A and B into a single container, large enough to except the entire kit. Mix using a 350 RPM mixer using an appropriate mixing blade for 2 - 3 minutes making sure to not introduce excessive air into the material.
Disposal: Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc., per Federal, State and local guideline, rules and laws.
