Gripset E60 (2 Part Kit)

Gripset E60 is a two-component, water-based epoxy compound that serves as both a primer and protective coating. It effectively prevents moisture penetration and rising damp in various mineral surfaces. E60 can be applied directly over damp surfaces, including freshly laid concrete, screeds, and renders. It exhibits excellent resistance to both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure, making it suitable for internal, external, underground, and immersed applications.

Uses & Applications

• Moisture barrier for negative side waterproofing in underground structures (basements, lift pits, retaining walls)
• Protective primer over concrete and mineral surfaces with residual dampness, allowing direct application of finishes
• Protection against rising damp and efflorescence to enable direct fixing of various coverings (vinyl, carpet, tiles, timber, levelling compounds, etc.)
• Commercial, industrial, and residential applications

Suitable Substrates

• Concrete
• Masonry surfaces
• Renders
• Screeds
• Concrete blocks
• Aerated concrete
• Timber

Benefits

• Excellent adhesion properties
• Resistant to negative hydrostatic pressure
• 1-2 hour pot life for workable application
• Suitable for both internal and external use
• Non-flammable, odourless, and zero VOC
• Easy cleanup with water
• Compatible bonding surface for Gripset membranes, adhesives, and other finishes

Application Guide

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Ensure the surface is structurally sound, smooth, stable, and clean. Repair any defects, fill voids, and remove contaminants.
   • For rough or uneven surfaces, use Gripset 11Y for repairs.
   • Remove sharp objects, loose material, curing compounds, and other residues.
2. Mixing:
   • Lightly stir Part A and Part B separately.
   • Combine equal parts of Part A and Part B by volume.
   • Mix thoroughly with an electric stirrer at low-medium speed for approximately 3 minutes.
   • Let the mixture settle for 5-10 minutes before use.
3. Application:
   • Vapour Block Primer/Efflorescence Prevention: Apply one coat at a minimum coverage of 1 litre/3m².
   • Moisture Barrier: Apply two coats at 1 litre/3m² per coat for optimal moisture protection against negative pressure. Treat running or dripping water first with a water plug.
   • General Details:
     • Mix only the amount needed within the pot life (1-2 hours).
     • Ensure damp surfaces are free of surface water.
     • Lightly mist dry surfaces (including aged concrete) with water before application.
     • Use a squeegee or stiff nylon broom for floor applications, ensuring even coverage.
     • Use a medium-long nap roller for vertical surfaces.
     • Dilute the first coat with water (5-10%) for porous surfaces.
   • Overcoating:
     • Apply liquid or cementitious membranes and paint coatings within 72 hours of E60 drying.
     • For tiling or cementitious toppings, apply two coats of E60 and sand-seed the second coat.

Limitations

• Not designed for trafficable surfaces; cover with a suitable finish.
• Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or above 35°C or when relative humidity exceeds 85%.

Additional Information

• Technical data available on water vapour transmission, adhesion, and hydrostatic pressure resistance.
• Shelf life of 12 months in original unopened container.
• Available in 4-litre, 10-litre, and 20-litre kits.
