P-30 Epoxy Grouting/Primer
P-30
Product Overview
P-30 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin (E2) and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant (H3). This combination achieves a rheology that makes it easy to spread but also fast to return to its resting state.
Uses
P-30 is most often used to fill porous surfaces-like 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.
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.

| Description | Results | Notes |
| Kit Yield in Gallons | 3 | Material can be supplied in larger packaging upon request and with minimum quantities |
| Number of Components | 2 | 1-2 gallon container of Part A and 1-1 gallon container of Part B |
| Mix Ratio Liquids by Volume | 2:1 | It is always preferred to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures |
| Ideal Application Temperatures | 60F-90F | Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush |
| Mixed Viscosity in cP@25C/77F | 4500 +/- 500 | Warmer temperatures will reduce viscosity and lower temperatures will increase viscosity |
| Gel Time | 45 min. | Warmer temperatures will decrease gel time and lower temperatures will increase gel time |
| Dry to Touch | 4 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Through Dry | 8 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Walk | 12 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Lightly Use | 24 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Full Cure | 7 Days | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Shore Hardness at 24 hours | D65 | Warmer temperatures will increase hardness |
| Shore Hardness at 7 days | D78 | Warmer temperatures will shorten time to reach full hardness |
| Gloss @ 60 Degree Angle | 80-85 | Applying material close to dew point will decrease gloss and may result in an amine blush |
| VOC’s of Mixed Material | <50g/L | EPA Method 24 |
| Color Scale per ASTM D1500 | .5-1.0 | Clear to slightly amber before filler is introduced |
| Solids by Volume Mixed | 100% | |
| Storage | 60F-90F | Store material between 60-90 degrees F in a protected dry location. |
| Odor | Subtle | Measuring odor offensiveness is difficult so experience with chemicals has been consulted here |
| Application Thickness in Mils | 12-20 mils depending on porosity of substrate | |
| Disposal | Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc. per Federal, State and local guideline, rules and laws | |
| Available Colors | Clear | |
| Mixing & Installation | Combine all of part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit. Mix at 350 RPM for 2-3 minutes using an appropriate mixing blade and making sure not to introduce excessive air into the solution. If using as a block filler- pour content into a large rolling pan and roll with a 9″ wide, 5/8″ nap roller cover. If using as a grout coat, pour the entire content from the container onto the floor and using a non-marking, flat squeegee, apply even pressure to force material into the pores and cavities being careful not to leave tails that will need to be removed once cured. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone. | |
