Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

EFP-290 Epoxy Floor Patch

Two component waterproof Floor Patch

Product Description
ECB-290 is a pre-measured two-component filler used for patching large or small defects (cracks, spalls, pop outs) in the concrete substrate. Suitable for use under epoxy flooring. Adequate open time for making multiple repairs.
Pre-Installation Checklist
A successful installation requires proper preparation of the subfloor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturers' recommendations for subfloor moisture content, design, layout, and application of flooring materials. The backing of all flooring material must be solid, sound, and free of anti-adherents. All slab constructions must meet the specific requirements of the floor covering to be installed.
Sub Floor Examination
Prior to installation, the subfloor must be checked according to applicable installation guidelines. It must be solid and sound, permanently dry, clean, free of chaps and anti-adherents, and resistant to pressure and tension. The moisture content of all floors must be measured before installation.
Do not apply the product to a visibly damp surface. Examine the concrete subfloor for color, cleanliness, porosity, and pre-existing residues PRIOR TO installation (see Technical Information #18 @ www.staufusa.com). Concrete subfloors must be checked for contaminants and/or anti-adherents using the STAUF Epoxy Test Kit (see Technical Information #16).
Sub Floor Preparation
The subfloor's condition will determine which type of mechanical treatment is required (e.g., wire brushing, sanding, grinding, or shot blasting). Dust, paint, curing compounds, sealers, residual adhesives, or other surface contaminants MUST be removed, and a porous surface must be achieved by suitable means. The installer can only determine the extent of subfloor preparation at the site. Clean the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner and tack the floor with a damp microfiber mop before application. Do not use sweeping compounds unless water-based, as most others contain oil or wax, which will act as an anti-adherent and prevent primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives from bonding to the concrete. Cracks and gaps must be treated before application of primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives (see Technical Information #19 @ www.staufusa.com).
Mixing of Components
Pour Part B completely into Part A. Thoroughly mix the two components with an electric mixer for at least 3 minutes until a uniform mixture and color are achieved.
Installation Procedure
Spread the floor patch within approx. 15 min. and protect it from direct sunlight and draft during drying.
Limitations
When using other than STAUF products in conjunction with STAUF primers, sealers, leveling compounds, or adhesives, STAUF denies any and all responsibility for any ensuing problems and/or damages without prior written authorization from STAUF.
The filler will maintain its integrity and performance even when high levels of moisture or water are present. Please see below for recommended sealers if a moisture barrier is required.
In case of an accident, injury, spill, or exposure, see SDS for information. Consult the Technical Data Sheet at www.staufusa.com for updated information.
