Epoxy Mortar for Concrete Repair & Industrial Flooring

Coverage Guide for Epoxy Mortar
10kg covers approximately 0.5m² at 5mm thickness on a smooth substrate

Tip: Multiply your total area (m²) by the required thickness to estimate how many units you need.

Typical Applications for Epoxy Mortar
- Structural concrete repair
- Industrial epoxy mortar for flooring
- Machinery bases and load-bearing areas
- Areas requiring chemical and abrasion resistance

This epoxy repair mortar is commonly used in environments where strength and long-term performance are critical.

Key Benefits of Epoxy Resin Mortar
- High compressive and tensile strength
- Excellent adhesion to prepared concrete surfaces
- Resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and heavy impact
- Suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments

Why Choose Epoxy Mortar Over Cement?
Compared to traditional cement-based materials, epoxy mortar offers superior strength, faster curing, and improved resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress, making it ideal for high-performance flooring and repair applications.

How to Apply Epoxy Mortar

Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is dry, structurally sound, and free from contamination. Remove loose material by grit blasting or wire brushing. For best results, use Antel Concrete Cleaner.

Priming
Apply Antel Epoxy Floor Primer to the prepared surface. Only prime an area that can be covered within 20–30 minutes while the primer remains tacky.

Mixing
Remove the A and B packs from the polythene bucket. Pour the entire contents of both packs A and B into a suitable mixing vessel. Mix the liquids together thoroughly on a slow speed. Mix the aggregates together in the polythene bucket and slowly add the liquids into the mixer vessel. Continue until all the aggregate has been added, continually mixing until a uniform mix is achieved.

Application
Apply the epoxy mortar onto the tacky primer and compact using a steel float to achieve a smooth, level surface (typically 5–10mm thickness). NB: Epoxy Flooring Mortar must be applied before the Epoxy Floor Primer has cured.

Curing
Pot life: approx. 45 minutes at 25°C
Initial set: approx. 7 hours at 25°C (20 hours at 10°C)
Full cure: 2–7 days depending on conditions

Finishing
Additional protection can be achieved with Antel Floor Paints. Clean tools immediately using Antel Cleaning Solvent. Tools should be cleaned between each mix in order not to contaminate fresh mixes with partially cured material.

Description
Three-part epoxy resin mortar system consisting of resin, hardener, and graded aggregates, designed for high-strength flooring and structural repair.

Packaging
10kg and 28kg units.

Colour
Typically grey. Custom colours available on request (non-returnable when made to order).

Coverage
10kg covers approximately 0.5m² at 5mm thickness on a smooth substrate.

Storage & Shelf Life
Store in cool, dry conditions. Protect from freezing. Shelf life: 12 months in sealed containers. Keep out of reach for children.

Typical Performance Properties

Chemical Resistance
Complete chemical resistance over long periods for nearly all flooring systems can be an unobtainable goal and if obtained normally result in decreased performance in other areas such as colour formation and increased toxicity.

Here is a cross section of resistance figures for Antel Mortar.

Reagent (Acid)
5% Citric Acid = R 6 Months (1.9)
5% Acetic Acid = R 6 Months (6.9)
30% Nitric Acid = R 6 Months (4.5)
50% Phosphoric Acid = R 6 Months (19.0)
36% Hydrochloric Acid = R 6 Months (6.7)
75% Sulphuric Acid = LR 1 Week (Destroyed)

Abrasion Resistance
Coatings of floor systems should be resistant against daily wear and tear caused by frictional forces from foot traffic and cleaning. Load bearing properties and toughness are particularly important in flooring for vehicular usage in order for stress forces to be dissipated without chipping or cracking associated with poor abrasive resistance occurring.

10 x 10 x 0.4 cm cast sheets of unfilled binder were allowed to cure for 14 days at 25°C and determined for abrasive resistance under ASTM D 4060-90 using model 5130 Taber Abrader with a C5 -17 abrading wheel under 1 kg weight to replicate the pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Castings were subject to 1000 cycles with weight loss reported per 200 cycles. Results show improved performance with a weight loss of 17 mg compared with 23 mg for the industry standard flooring mortar.

Other performance properties.
Compressive Strength = 76N/mm2
Tensile strength = 13N/mm2
Flexural Strength = 27N/mm2
Reagent (Organic Solvent)
Acetone = R 3 Hours (Destroyed)
Diethyl ether = R 6 Months (3.5)
Ethyl Acetate = LR 3 Days (11.7)
Methylated Spirit = R 6 Months (7.2)
Toluene = R 6 months (0.9)
Xylene = R 6 months (0.7)
R =Resistant to vehicular traffic
LR = Limited Resistance (Pedestrian Only)

Water Spot Resistance
A 200 m film was applied to a panel and cured at 10°C A saturated cotton ball was placed on the film following a 24 hour 48 hour 72 hour and 96 hour cure and left in place for a further 24 hours. After each period the film was examined for carbonation in the form of white spots. Results show excellent resistance to carbonation.
