CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Prior to starting any construction work with Keracrete NS50, ensure that all safety precautions and guidelines are followed. Use personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection, and work in a well-ventilated area.

1. Surface Preparation:

• Clean the Substrate: Thoroughly clean the substrate where you plan to apply Keracrete NS50. Remove any dirt, dust, loose particles, or contaminants. Use a wire brush or suitable cleaning method to achieve a clean, sound surface.
• Surface Moisture: Ensure that the substrate is dry and that its moisture content is less than 6%. High moisture content can affect the adhesion and performance of Keracrete NS50.

2. Temperature and Humidity Control:

• Substrate Temperature: The substrate temperature should be maintained between +13°C and +39°C. It’s essential that the substrate temperature remains at least 3°C above the dew point.
• Relative Air Humidity: The maximum relative air humidity at the application site should not exceed 85%. High humidity can affect the curing process.

3. Mixing:

• Mixing Ratio: Keracrete NS50 consists of two components, labeled as Component A and Component B. Mix these components in a 1:1 ratio by weight. Use a digital scale for precise measurements.
• Mixing Process: In a clean container, pour out the required amount of Component A. Next, pour the equivalent amount of Component B. Mix the two components thoroughly until you achieve a uniform consistency. Ensure that no streaks or inconsistencies remain.
• Pot Life: The pot life of the mixed material at 25°C (77°F) is approximately 30 minutes. Work efficiently within this time frame.

4. Application:

• Non-Sagging Properties: Take advantage of the non-sagging nature of Keracrete NS50. This means that the material will stay in place without slumping or flowing excessively during application. Use this property for controlled, precise application.
• Trowel or Spatula: Apply the mixed Keracrete NS50 onto the prepared substrate using a trowel or spatula. Depending on your specific application, ensure a uniform and consistent thickness.

5. Curing:

• Curing Time: Keracrete NS50 typically cures in approximately 5-7 hours at a substrate temperature of 25°C (77°F). However, the curing time may vary depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
• Curing Environment: Keep the area free from moisture and disturbances during the curing process. This ensures that Keracrete NS50 can set and cure effectively.

6. Cleanup:

• Cleaning Tools: Clean your tools and equipment immediately after use with an appropriate solvent or cleaner.

7. Safety Precautions:

• Safety Gear: Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection when working with Keracrete NS50.
• Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
• Material Disposal: Dispose of any unused or waste materials in accordance with local regulations and guidelines.

By following these detailed construction instructions, you can make the most of Keracrete NS50’s versatile and reliable properties. Whether you’re repairing concrete, bonding materials, or filling gaps, this epoxy resin compound will help you achieve outstanding results in your construction projects.
