Product Overview:
Brand: Myk Laticrete
Product Name: SP-100 Resin Kit
Type: Epoxy resin
Components: Typically includes a resin (part A) and a hardener (part B) that must be mixed together.
Key Features:
High Adhesive Strength: Provides excellent bonding to a wide variety of substrates, ensuring the grout adheres firmly to the tiles and joints.
Durability: The resin mixture cures to form a hard, durable surface that resists wear, cracking, and shrinkage, maintaining the integrity of the tiled surface over time.
Stain Resistance: When mixed with SP-100 Filler, the resin contributes to the grout’s ability to resist stains from common substances like oils, grease, and food spills.
Chemical Resistance: The cured epoxy grout is highly resistant to chemicals, making it suitable for use in environments exposed to harsh substances.
Waterproof: Once cured, the resin provides a waterproof barrier, preventing moisture from penetrating the grout and underlying layers, ideal for wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools.
Easy Mixing: The resin and hardener are designed to be mixed easily, creating a smooth, workable mixture that can be applied with precision.
Application Areas:
Residential: Kitchens, bathrooms, and other tiled areas that require strong, durable, and stain-resistant grout.
Commercial: Ideal for high-traffic areas such as shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings.
Industrial: Suitable for use in factories, laboratories, and other environments where chemical resistance and durability are crucial.
Application Instructions:
Mixing: Combine the resin (part A) and hardener (part B) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring they are mixed thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency.
Application: Once mixed, the resin should be combined with the Myk SP-100 Filler and applied to the tile joints using appropriate tools such as a rubber float.
Curing: Allow the mixed resin and filler to cure according to the recommended time before exposing the area to water, traffic, or chemicals.
Packaging and Storage:
Packaging: The resin kit is typically available in containers suitable for the specified amount of grout needed. It may be packaged in separate containers for the resin and hardener.
Storage: Store the resin kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure that containers are tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the quality of the product.
Safety Precautions:
Protective Gear: Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during mixing and application to avoid skin and eye contact.
Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area to avoid inhaling fumes from the resin and hardener.
First Aid: In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention promptly.
