Sikagard®-720 EpoCem® IN

3-part cement and epoxy combination micro mortar for surface sealing


Sikagard®-720 EpoCem® IN is a three-part, epoxy modified cementitious, thixotropic, fine textured mortar for levelling and finishing of concrete, mortar or stone surfaces.

  • Improved chemical resistance compared to PCC mortar
  • Excellent protection of concrete in aggressive environments
  • Easy and fast application

Usage


  • As a levelling layer over concrete and mortars in 1 – 3 mm on vertical or horizontal surfaces,
  • Application in new works or damaged concrete repairs, in aggressive chemical environments
  • Application over high moisture content substrates, even green concrete
  • As a Temporary Moisture Barrier (TMB) (min. 2 mm thick) under Epoxy, Polyurethane and PMMA* resin coatings requiring dry substrates, for a lasting solution.
  • As a pore sealer for the re-profiling, smoothing and levelling of concrete surfaces
  • In the food industry, as a levelling and smoothing layer for walls and covings, prior to the application of a suitable Sika® epoxy or PUR finish
  • Suitable for moisture control (Principle 2, method 2.3 of EN 1504-9)
  • Suitable for restoration work (Principle 3, method 3.1 and 3.3 of EN 1504-9).
  • Suitable for physical resistance (Principle 5, method 5.1 of EN 1504-9)
  • Suitable for preserving or restoring passivity (Principle 7, method 7.1 and 7.2 of EN 1504-9)
  • Suitable for increasing resistivity (Principle 8, method 8.3 of EN 1504-9)

Advantages


  • Improved chemical resistance compared to PCC mortar
  • Excellent protection of concrete in aggressive environments
  • Easy and fast application
  • Impervious to liquids but permeable to water vapour
  • Excellent bond to green or hardened concrete whether damp or dry
  • Fast overcoating of Sika® resin-based finish products
  • Ideal preparation for smooth surface finishes
  • For internal or external use
  • Contains no solvents
  • Can be applied by hand or mechanically by spray pump machine
