Benefits It is a 3-part epoxy based high strength mortar that forms an bacterial resistant, chemical & abrasion resistant coving in the juncture of wall & floor as well as between wall to wall.
Ideally suited for application in sterile areas for hygiene. It can be laid in varying dimensions like 100mm x 100 mm , 75mmx100 mm which is suitable for wall to floor junction and generally 25 mm x 25mm for wall to wall pencil coving. Over coating with epoxy coating/topping is mandatory to achieve aesthetic appeal & also to obtain hygienic environment.

Where it Use:
Typical areas like in the junction of floor to wall and wall to wall in sterile areas, ICU ICU ICU s ,blood bank, etc particularly where dust accumulation, bacterial growth is inevitable.

Easily applied as a bacterial resistant coving with a coloured antibacterial over

Has excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, with a medium resistance for impact at higher thickness of application

Can be used in preparation of perimeter edge coving upto a height of 225 mm

Joint Design :
All expansion joints , movement joints are to be brought over through subsequent flooring system & to be treated with elastomeric sealants. All other stable joints (dummy joints, etc) are to be filled up prior to lay the coving as per the designed thickness. Joints should be cleaned and then prepared.
Consult technical team for detailed specification in case of other type of joints.

Method of Application :
1. Surface Preparation: Surface must be sound, dry, free from laitance, grease, oil and any other contamination by using wire brushing or by any mechanical means.
2. Mixing of Coving:Every 17 kg unit contains Base - 1.77 kg, Hardener - 610 gms & Filler - 14.62 kg.
3.First mix thoroughly the entire contents of hardener into the base container until a homogeneous mix is obtained
4. Blend the filler aggregates in the bag manually contained in the bag and then add the filler slowly to the previously mixed resin and hardener container. Mix with a paddle attached heavy duty, slow speed drilling machine to get a homogeneous mix of the screed.
Material must be applied within the pot life period

Application:
a) Overlay Epoxy Coving on the applied primer when it is tacky.
b) Spread it uniformly within the marking made according to the desired dimension (ex- 100 mm height by 100 mm width) by using a steel trowel / Cornie. Keep more material at the junction for the curvature .
c)Use a plastic / wooden rounded coving roller to roll on the material to & fro to obtain desired curvature

d) Use proper pressure on the roller & extra material to maintain the desired compacted thickness , smoothness at all areas of the coving .
e) Over coating can be taken up after 24 hours of application, ensuring that high spots, undulations, cold joint marks, roller marks are properly rubbed down using mechanical means duly filled up by epoxy putty.

Cleaning
Epoxy Coving should be removed from tools and equipment with epoxy solvent, immediately after use.
