WEICON A
pasty =
steel-filled I9SA-Code 75.500.0%02
certified by DNV GL IMPACode "81290102
WEICON A has a DNV GL certificate and is particularly suitable
for repair and maintenance work in the maritime industry, The
epoxy resin system is highly filed with steel pigments, magnetic
and its pasty texture allows application even on vertical
surfaces,
It can be used to remove corrosion damage and pitting or to
repair holes and blowholes. For example, it can be used to
reproduce heavy steel components showing severe damage by
corrosion and pitting. In this case, WEICON A provides a real
alternative to welding, as the application of the epoxy resin does
not cause thermal distortion as caused by welding. The 2-
‘component system can be used for repairs on tanks and pipes
as well as for repairing cracks in engine or pump housings and
machine parts.
It is ideal for use in sewer systems where pipes and pipelines
fare exposed to strong influences from different substances.
(Other applications include the manufacture of medels, moulds,
tools and clamping devices. WEICON A can be used in
‘mechanical engineering, in toolmaking, in the cement industry,
in power plants, in model and mould making, and in many
other industrial sectors.

Instructions for use:
When using WEICON products, the physical, safety-related,
toxicological and ecological data and regulations in our EC.
safety data sheets (www.weicon.com) must be observed,
‘Surface pre-treatment
‘The successful application of WEICON A depends on the
thorough preparation of the surfaces. This is the most
Important factor for overall success. Dust, dirt, oil, grease, rust
land moisture or wetness have a negative impact on the
adhesion. Therefore, before processing WEICON A, the
following points must be observed:
The areas to be bonded or repaired must be free of any cil,
grease, dirt, rust, oxides, paint and other impurities or
residues. For cleaning and degreasing, we recommend
WEICON Cleaner Spray S.
‘Smooth and particularly heavily soled surfaces should
additionally be treated by mechanical surface pre-treatment,
8.9. by grinding or preferably by blasting. In case of blasting,
the surface should be brought to a degree of purity of SA 2 Ye
~""Near White Blast Cleaning" (according to ISO 8501/1-2,
NACE, SSPC, SIS). In order to achieve an optimum surface
roughness of 75 - 100 pm, angular, disposable blasting media
(aluminum oxide, corundum) should be used. The surface
‘quality is negatively influenced by the use of reusable blasting
‘media (slag, glass, quartz} but also by ice blasting. The air for
blasting must be dry and oll-fee,
Metal parts that have come into contact with sea water or
fother salt solutions should first be rinsed thoroughly with
demineralised water and, if possible, left to rest overnight so
that all salts can be dissolved from the metal. Before each
application of WEICON A, a test for soluble salts should be
carried out according to the Bresle method (DIN EN ISO
8502-6),
es
Plastic Metal
The maximum amount of soluble salts remaining on the
substrate snould not excaed 40 mg/m®. Heating and repeated
blasting of the surface may be necessary to remove all soluble
salts and moisture
‘After each mechanical pre-treatment, the surface should be
cleaned again with WEICON Cleaner Spray $ and protected
from further contamination until the coating is applied.
‘Areas where no adhesion to the substrate is desired must be
treated with slicone-tree mould release agents. For smooth
surfaces, we recommend WEICON Mould Release Agent Liquid
F 1000 or, for porous surfaces, WEICON Mould Release Agent
Wax P 500.
‘ter the surface pre-treatment, WEICON A should be applied as
's00n as possible (within one hour) to avoid oxidation, flash rust
‘or new contamination,
Mixing
First, str the resin, Then mix the resin and hardener together
thoroughly and bubble-ree for atleast four minutes at 20°C (68°
F, The included processing spatula or a mechanical mixer, such
as a mortar stirrer, can be used for this purpose.” With
mechanical mixers, a low speed of max. 500 ypm should be
Used, The components should be stred until a homogeneous
mixture is acrieved. The mixing ratio of the two components
must be sticly observed, as otherwise, strongly. deviating
physical values will result (max. deviation +/-2 %). Only propare
2 batch as large as can be processed within the pot if of 60
minutes. The spectied pot fe refers to a material batch of 500 g
and 20°C (68°F) material temperature, Mixing larger quantities or
higher processing temperatures wil result in faster curing due to
te typical reaction heat of epoxy resins.‘Technical Data Sheet Page 24

Application
For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C
(68°C) at less than 85% relative humiaity. The highest adhesive
strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated
to >35°C (95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work
WEICON A intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using
the Contour Spatula Flexy to achieve maximum adhesion. By
means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all
cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications
‘can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness
is reached. Make suro that the epoxy resin is applied avenly and
without air bubbles, To fil large gaps or holes, fibreglass,
‘expanded metal or other mechanical fixation materials should
be used. Finally, the surface can be smoothed easily with the help
of a PE film and a rubber roller.
Curing
Final hardness is reached after 24 hours at 20°C (68°F) at the
latest. At lower temperatures, the curing can be accelerated by
‘evenly applying heat up to max. 40°C (104°F), e.g. with a heating
pack, hot air blower or fan heater. Higher temperatures shorten
the curing time.
‘The following rule of thumb applies: Each increase by +10°C
(60°F) above room temperature (20°C/68°F) will decrease the
‘curing time by half, Temperatures below 16°C (61°F) increase the
curing time, until at approx. 5°C (41°F) and below, almost no
reaction will take place at al
Storage
‘Store WEICON A at room temperature in a dry place. Unopened
containers can be stored at temperatures of 418°C to 428°C for
at least 36 months after delivery date. Unopened containers must
bbe used up within 6 months.
