    Epoxy Repair Material

    Lavabond EP two component solvent free epoxy bonding agent for old to new concrete by MATEX

    Lavabond Ep

    Two Component Solvent Free Epoxy Bonding Agent

    LAVABOND EP is a two-component, solvent-free, low-viscosity epoxy bonding agent formulated to create a high-strength bond between old and new concrete. It delivers exceptional adhesion that exceeds the tensile strength of most substrates, making it ideal for structural repairs and overlays. Its deep-penetrating formulation offers excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance, even in aggressive environments. LAVABOND EP is impermeable, moisture-resistant, non-shrinking, and suitable for internal and external applications. Its solvent-free composition makes it safe for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, providing a reliable, high-performance bonding solution for demanding construction projects.

    How to Apply Lavabond Ep

    Lavabond EP is mixed on site and applied by brush, roller or spray to a prepared substrate, with new concrete or screed cast while it is still tacky.

    1. Prepare the surface. Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from loose material, efflorescence, laitance, curing compounds, dirt, oil and grease, and the concrete must be fully cured. Sand blast or mechanically prepare the surface to give a proper mechanical grip.
    2. Carry out repairs. Repair cracks, level floors and fill voids with epoxy based repair products before applying the bonding agent.
    3. Mix. Pour Component B (hardener) into Component A (resin) and mix for 3 minutes with a drill at low speed (200-300 rpm) until homogeneous.
    4. Apply. Apply generously with brush, roller or spray machine to ensure penetration and coverage, at 6 to 7 m² per liter depending on substrate porosity. Apply two coats on very porous substrates.
    5. Cast while tacky. Cast the concrete or screed while the bonding agent is still tacky but not wet. If the bonding agent has dried, remove it mechanically and apply a fresh coat.
    6. Clean tools. Clean tools and equipment with Armosolvent before the material hardens. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the coverage of Lavabond EP?

    Lavabond EP covers 6-7 square meters per liter at 150 micron wet film thickness, depending on the porosity of the substrate. Very porous substrates need two coats.

    How long do I have to cast concrete after applying Lavabond EP?

    Concrete or screed must be cast while the bonding agent is still tacky but not wet. The TDS gives a maximum overlay time of 20 hours at 25°C; if the coat has dried, remove it mechanically and reapply.

    What is the pot life of Lavabond EP?

    Pot life is 60 minutes at 25°C. The application temperature range is +5°C to +35°C, and complete hardening takes 7 days at 30°C.

    Can Lavabond EP be used in enclosed areas?

    Yes. Lavabond EP is solvent free, so the TDS states it can be used in closed places, for both internal and external applications.

    How is Lavabond EP packed and stored?

    It is supplied in 4 liter dual metal containers. Store in original packing in dry conditions away from direct sunlight in a temperature-controlled warehouse; shelf life is 12 months from production in unopened packing.
