Packaging
Oxydur K 425 is supplied in separate packages, quantities Substrate Requirements
premeasured in correct mixing ratio:
Concrete: Refer to DIN 28052, Parts 2 and 3 as well as
Oxydur K 425 Liquid 1: 3.00 kg can Steuler-KCH-Form Sheets No. 010 and 011.
Oxydur K 425 Liquid 2: 1.50 kg can Steel: Refer to DIN 28053 and DIN 28054 as well as Steuler-
Oxydur Hardener 20: 300 g bag KCH-Form Sheets No. 020 and 021.

Standard colour: Amber (transparent)
Oxydur K 425 is normally supplied only in the transparent
grade. Pigmented grades are available on request (please
observe special mixing and application instructions!).
2 mum 5 K.
Coverage (per m )
When applied to concrete substrates, the amount of material
required depends on the porosity and roughness of the sub-
strate.
1st coat 0.20 kg
2nd coat 0.15 kg
Two coats are required to obtain a dense, nonporous sur-
face.
When applied to steel substrates:
each coat 0.10 to 0.15 kg/m2
The number of coats required depends on the field of appli-
cation and the type of material to be subsequently applied.
For more information, please refer to the pertinent Technical
Information Sheets for such materials.
The film thickness of each coat is 50 to 70 microns.
Moisture
Residual moisture content of the concrete must not exceed 4
%.
The material has to be protected from any kind of moisture
(condensation, fog, precipitation or other water source). The
object temperature must have a dew point distance of mini-
mum 3 K, in case of a relative humidity of above 70% of mini-
Preparation and Application
Mixing ratio for Oxydur K 425:
2 parts by weight of Liquid 1
1 part by weight of Liquid 2.
The prepared mixture of Liquid 1 and 2 requires 60 - 70 g of
Oxydur Hardener 20 for each kg of the mixture.
Pre-mix the full amount of Oxydur Hardener 20 required for
the total mixture with a small amount of Oxydur K 425 Liquid
2 until a smooth, lump-free consistency is obtained. Then
add the remaining portion of Liquid 2 and mix thoroughly. Fi-
nally add the required amount of Oxydur K 425 Liquid 1 and
remix well.
Do not prepare more mixture than can be applied within the
pot life specified for the material.
Make sure that opened packages are used up in full.

Oxydur K 425 Technical Information 102 Issue 05/2011

Drying Time Curing Time

Between coats, or before proceeding with the application of To support foot traffic: 1.5 to 5 hours, depending on the tem-
other Oxydur material systems, the following minimum drying perature (see also Drying Time above).
times must be allowed for at the following ambient tempera-
tures: To achieve full chemical resistance properties: 24 hours at
20°C.
Minimum drying time at:
5 °C 5.0 hours
20 °C 3.5 hours Cleaning of Equipment
30 °C 1.5 hours
Clean equipment immediately after use with Steuler Cleaner
Oxydur K 425 is a highly reactive system. Therefore, the fol- "Universalreiniger" (see Technical Information Sheet No.
lowing maximum drying times must not be exceeded: 190).

5 °C 36 hours Safety Precautions

20 °C 24 hours
30 °C 12 hours
In the event of the maximum drying time being exceeded, or
in case of exposure to moisture, the area must be reprimed
before proceeding with the application of any subsequently
applied material. First abrade the surface until a uniformly
dull finish has been obtained, then reprime.
Caution!
Direct sunlight will considerably reduce the drying time. The
decision, therefore, if or when to proceed with application
must be made on the basis of the specific conditions prevail-
ing on the site. It may be necessary to perform a bonding
test with the subsequently applied material.
Mix and apply material only in well ventilated areas. Provide
ventilation suited to the conditions when working in pits or
tanks. Do not smoke! Do not expose materials to heat or
open flame. So not carry out any welding work in the vicinity
of the actual work area (welding beads!). Avoid contact with
skin or eyes. Wash hands with soap and water; do not clean
the skin with solvents. Use barrier soap and protective
creams on exposed skin areas.
Refer to Safety Data Sheets!

Prevent direct sunlight by adequately sheltering the actual

work area.

Pot Life of Prepared Material

At a material temperature of:
5°C 45 minutes
20°C 20 minutes
30°C 10 minutes
Minimum curing temperature: 5°C.
Maximum curing temperature: 30°C.

The ideal material temperature for application is 20°C.

Oxydur K 425 can, however, also be applied successfully at
other temperatures within the pot life specified.
