Flexible coating, 100% solids, epoxy filled with ceramic microspheres for repairing concrete cracks, sealing expansion joints, etc. TFLEX is a paste-like material that can be easily applied in thicknesses up to 12mm without sagging on vertical surfaces. It offers excellent chemical resistance, great flexibility, and elongation.

Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is of vital importance for long-term performance. The prepared concrete surface must be structurally sound, free of all contaminants, and roughened to a profile >ICRI CSP 3 (similar to #60 grit sandpaper). Taurus TFLEX can be applied directly onto concrete to seal cracks and joints.
Mixing
Thoroughly mix the activator into the base using a mixing stick, scraping the sides and bottom of the container. Mix by weight at a ratio of 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Mix thoroughly until a uniform, streak-free material is obtained. Never add solvents.
Application
TFLEX can be applied with a spatula or caulking gun. To prevent sagging on vertical surfaces, the maximum wet film thickness should be up to 12.7 mm (500 mils) per coat.
Application Temperature:
Application temperature range from 10°C (50°F) to 32°C (90°F) (substrate).
For maximum protection against immersion or spillage, a 2-layer system is recommended.
To avoid sagging on vertical surfaces, the maximum thickness of the wet film should be between 500 μm – 1000 μm (20-40 mil) per layer.
