    Epoxy Repair Material

    Lavapoxy RE two part epoxy re-profiling and repair fairing coat by MATEX

    Lavapoxy Re

    Two Part Epoxy Re-profiling and Repair Fairing Coat

    LAVAPOXY RE is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy-based putty formulated for repairing and re-profiling structural concrete defects. It features a coarse finish and thixotropic behavior, making it ideal for bedding, gap filling, and leveling up to 6 mm thick on vertical and overhead surfaces. The pre-measured kit ensures easy mixing and application. LAVAPOXY RE adheres excellently to concrete and is non-shrinking, offering high compressive strength and outstanding resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and impact. Its chemical resistance covers oils, salts, acids, alkalis, and sewage, making it suitable for harsh environments requiring durable and long-term repairs.

    How to Apply Lavapoxy Re

    Lavapoxy RE is a two-part thixotropic epoxy putty applied by trowel, filling knife or spatula to mechanically prepared, dry concrete.

    1. Prepare the substrate. The substrate must be clean, sound and free from grease, friable material and curing compound. Prepare concrete mechanically by abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying to remove laitance, remove weak concrete and fully expose blow holes and voids.
    2. Check moisture. Before applying, ensure the substrate is fully cured, dry and has no moisture content.
    3. Mix. Stir the base and the hardener separately for 30 seconds, empty part B (hardener) into part A (base) and mix thoroughly for a few minutes with a low speed electric drill and paddle until homogeneous and lump free. Do not add thinner.
    4. Apply. Apply manually with a trowel, filling knife or spatula, from feather edge up to a maximum of 6 mm depending on the substrate profile. Work the material thoroughly into cracks and pinholes and keep the trowel very clean to avoid streaks.
    5. Clean tools. Clean tools with Armosolvent before the product hardens. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What thickness can Lavapoxy RE be applied at?

    Application thickness is 1.0 to 6.0 mm, from feather edge up to a maximum of 6 mm depending on the substrate profile.

    What is the coverage of Lavapoxy RE?

    1.0 liter of Lavapoxy RE covers 1 square meter at 1 mm thickness.

    What is the pot life and recoating interval of Lavapoxy RE?

    Pot life of the mixture is 60 minutes at 25°C and the recoating interval is 24 hours. Application temperature is from +5°C to +40°C.

    Can Lavapoxy RE be applied on vertical and overhead surfaces?

    Yes. When mixed it is thixotropic and non-slump, so it can be applied on vertical and overhead surfaces.

    How is Lavapoxy RE packaged and stored?

    It is supplied in 4 liter two-part 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 date in unopened original packing.
