ROCKPOXY EP6430
DESCRIPTION
ROCKPOXY EP6430 is a two packs, solventfree, food grade epoxy resin material. The material cures to provide a smooth, hygienic and tough finish which is suitable for contact with potable water and foodstuffs. It possesses all the attributes of normal solvent based epoxy compositions such as excellent water and chemical resistance, adhesion, hardness, toughness and mechanical strength. One of the major advantages of EP6430 over solvent based epoxy is that it can be applied on damp surface also. Being free from solvents, it does not pose any health hazard to the applicator. EP6430 is completely consistent & economical to apply.
FEATURES / ADVANTAGES
- As an anti-corrosion coating in food and beverage processing plants, sewage works, agricultural, chemical and pharmaceutical plants, bottling plants etc
- Excellent resistance to positive (hydrostatic) water pressure
- Reduces water permeability
- Exceptional Bond to concrete substrate and on mild steel
- Can be used in confines area
- Exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals
- Solvent Free

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION: The substrate should be cleaned and free from loose materials and contaminations such as plasters, oil, paint and grease. Concrete surfaces must be fully cured, laitance free and free from any traces of shuttering, release oils and curing compounds. For Steel Surfaces all surfaces should be grit blasted to obtain bright metal surface. The lining work should be programmed so that newly cleaned steel is coated as soon as possible before the formation of rust or scale.
MIXING:
Part A – Base
Part B – Hardener
Prior to mixing, stir Part A mechanically. When all of Part B has been added to Part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour the material into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrapment. After mixing allow the material to stand for 3 minutes.
COVERAGE
10.0 m2 per litre per coat at 100 micron thickness. This coverage figure is theoretical – due to wastage factors and the variety and nature of substrates. Practical coverage figures may be substantially reduced.
PRECAUTIONS
As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin and foodstuffs. Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek medical attention. Reseal containers after use. Use in well ventilated areas and avoid inhalation.
DISCLAIMER
The above information and details herein are based on the tests conducted & experience on application and usage. The user is advised to carry out the test and take trials to satisfy on the suitability of the products and meeting his requirement considering the prevailing conditions prior to apply/ using it on larger area. As the conditions under which the products are used or transported are beyond our control. We would not hold ourselves responsible on its consequential nonperformance.
CLEANING OF TOOL
Tools and equipment can be easily cleaned with
water. Skin contact should be avoided as it is
slightly acidic & seek medical advice.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
Store the material in cool and dry place (25oC
temp). Shelf life is one year when materials are
stored in unopened containers as per
recommended storage conditions.
