TROXYMITE (troximite) is an epoxy resin based, concrete-like material for fast, easy, economical resurfacing and patching of wood, concrete, metal and other surfaces. It may be used indoors or out on a rigid non-vibrating surface


	TROXYMITE EPOXY RESURFACER

	USER BENEFITS: DURABLE ABRASION RESISTANT ADHERES TO MULTIPLE SURFACES QUICK CURING ECONOMICAL EASY TO APPLY

	TROXYMITE Is Durable TROXYMITE's unique formulation is designed to actually strengthen the surface to which it is applied. Tests have shown that TROXYMITE is FIVE TIMES STRONGER THAN CONCRETE. The product is highly resistant to solvents, alkalis, salts and acids, making it the ideal protective topping where spillage of such industrial products occur. TROXYMITE Is Abrasion Resistant "IT'S DIFFICULT TO GRIND AWAY!" An example of TROXYMITE's strong resistance to abrasion is in the grain storage industry. Grain Elevator Companies have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in replacement costs by applying TROXYMITE in critical high-abrasive areas of their operations such as the interior of elbows of metal grain chutes. TROXYMITE is recommended for any rigid surface which must withstand high abrasive contact. TROXYMITE Adheres To Multiple Surfaces The epoxy resin in TROXYMITE is one of the most adhesive substances known. TROXYMITE gives excellent adhesion on surfaces of wood, masonry, concrete, ferrous metals, most non-ferrous metals, and painted surfaces when the paint is securely bonded to the surface. TROXYMITE Is Quick Curing A TROXYMITE surface is ready for traffic within 24 hours of application! A maintenance crew can lay down a new floor of TROXYMITE over the weekend and it will be ready for "business as usual" on Monday morning. TROXYMITE Is Economical TROXYMITE is priced competitively with most other resurfacing and patching compounds, but due to its unique characteristics, TROXYMITE is in a class by itself. You get more for your money in strength, non-shrinking, safety, wear and chemical resistance with TROXYMITE. TROXYMITE Is Ready To Apply By following the three basic steps - - - preparing the surface, mixing procedures and method of application found in the instruction sheet - - - TROXYMITE can be applied successfully with unskilled help. Physical Properties Of TROXYMITE Compared To Concrete TEST ? COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH: TROXYMITE - 13,500 lbs. per sq. in. (7 days) Concrete - 3,730 lbs. per sq. in. TEST ? TENSILE: TROXYMITE - 2,900 lbs. per sq. in. (7 days) Concrete - 370 lbs. per sq. in. TEST ? IMPACT STRENGTH: TROXYMITE - 14 ft. lbs. for ?" layers on concrete Concrete - 10 ft. lbs. for 2" layer Two Textures FINE: Product Code #3111 Cures to a smooth finish, the color of concrete. Slightly stiffer than Coarse Grain. Especially good for patching. COARSE: Product Code #3110 Cures to a grainy finish and a light gray color. Easy to work with when surfacing large areas. Rate Of Coverage The coverage of TROXYMITE depends on the thickness of application and the condition of the floor. Under normal circumstances one gallon of TROXYMITE covers: 5 square feet at ?" thickness 10 square feet at ¹/₈" thickness A pitted floor will require more TROXYMITE. Regardless of the size of the indentations, it takes additional TROXYMITE to fill these spaces

TROXYMITE is an epoxy resin based, rapid curing, resurfacing material containing small mineral aggregate granules. It is a two component system - - one containing a modified liquid amido-amine curing agent, the other a blend of aggregate, pigment and epoxy resin. When mixed for use, TROXYMITE is of troweling consistency.

LIFE OF MIXTURE: TROXYMITE is an exothermic setting compound designed to harden quickly. A thoroughly mixed unit of TROXYMITE at 75? F. has a "pot life" (usable application life) of one hour after mixing. The "pot life" increases at lower temperatures and also by spreading out in thin layers. After application in a thin layer, TROXYMITE may be worked and surface finished for periods up to 1? hours from the time of mixing.

CURING TIME: Atmospheric conditions and room temperature play an important part in curing time. Warm air, 70? F. or above, provides reasonable curing times. Under such conditions, TROXYMITE cures sufficiently for light walking traffic within 12 hours. Complete curing (for maximum chemical resistance) can be expected in seven days. The curing time can be reduced at higher temperatures. It is not recommended that TROXYMITE be applied at temperatures below 60?F. as curing is very slow at low temperatures.

EPOXY RESIN: The epoxy resin is one of a group of epoxy resins derived from the reaction of bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin. It shall conform to the following specifications:
