Cipoxy 17

Solvent-free epoxy primer and self-levelling screed

Description Performance data

A solvent-free, two component epoxy-polyamide Tensile strength

based, medium viscosity primer-cum-screed, Cipoxy ASTM D 638 : ≥ 9 MPa
17 is recommended as primer and screed for concrete Elongation
substrates. Being a viscous material, Cipoxy 17 forms ASTM D 638 : ≥ 1.8 %
a thick coating which will close the normal porosities of Flexural strength
the concrete. ASTM D 790 : ≥ 15 MPa
Compressive strength
Uses ASTM D 695 : ≥ 35 MPa
Pull off adhesion test
Cipoxy 17 is used as primer as well as screed as a part
ASTM D 4541
of both Cipoxy and DeckFloor range of floor toppings.
On concrete
: ≥ 2 MPa for M20 grade

Cipoxy 17
Solvent-free epoxy primer and self-levelling screed

Porous floors may require two coats of Cipoxy 17 prim-
er. Cipoxy 17 primer should be allowed to become tack
free prior to application. Primer coverage will depend on
the texture and porosity of the substrate and also the
application thickness.
Limitations : It is not compatible for application over
asphalt, unmodified sand-cement screed or PVC tiles
and sheets. Cipoxy 17 coated floor will be scratched
due to nails or sharp objects protruding from machinery,
packings, or trolleys moving on the floor. Presence of
sand will also cause abrasion. The product is not
advices to be applied below 150C as the flow reduces.
While applying the product above 350C, there can be a
problem of low pot life etc., and it will be difficult to apply
the material. Cured product is not suitable for exposure
to sub-zero temperatures and above 650C.
Packaging : Cipoxy 17 is a supplied as a 5 & 20 lt
pack which has a maximum shelf life of 12 months in
the un-opened containers
Do’s
„ Clean regularly
„ Remove aggressive chemical spillage immediately
„ Maintain wheel for proper rolling, should not get
dragged.
„ Handle heavy material gently and cautiously
„ Clean any oil or any liquid which may cause
accident during people’s movement
Don’t
„ Drag any sharp and heavy object
„ Expose to fire or welding spark
„ Expose to very high temperature than recommended
by Manufacturer
„ Drop down and heavy material on the floor
„ Expose to highly corrosive chemicals
Storage and handling
The product should be stored in accordance with
national regulations. It should be kept in a cool, well
ventilated area, away from heat, direct sunlight, sparks
and children. Handle with care. Mix resin and hardener
as per the ratio. Use the mix solution within the pot life
time.
Health and safety precautions
Please refer to MSDS. Observe reasonable care and
employ ordinary hygienic principles such as washing
the hands with soap and water before eating or
smoking. It is recommended to wear gloves, goggles
and nose masks while application. Incase of splashes
on the skin, dampen the cloth with thinner PUT 503 and
wipe the hands with the cloth. Wash then with soap and
water. Dried film is non toxic.
Incase of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of
water and seek medical advice. Incase of continuous
exposure to vapours, the applicator should be
immediately moved to get fresh air.
The disposal of excess or waste material should be
carried out in accordance with the local legislations.
