Mixing
Care should be taken to ensure that Vetorep ER430 is thoroughly mixed to produce a fully homogeneous flowable mortar. Vetorep ER430 must be mixed mechanically. The ‘hardener’ and ‘base’ components must be stirred thoroughly to disperse any settlement before mixing them together. The entire contents of the ‘hardener’ container should then be emptied into the ‘base’ container and thoroughly mixed for 3 minutes, then emptied into a forced action mixer of adequate capacity. Add the aggregate slowly with the mixer running and continue for 2 to 3 minutes until all the components are thoroughly blended. Under no circumstances should part packs be used. A slow speed heavy duty drill fitted with a purpose mixer can be facilitated.
Application
Pour the mixed Vetorep ER430 to the prepared substrate till the cracks are filled completely into place. Allow the material to set for 16 hours at 25ºC prior to allowing foot traffic and 48 hours prior to allowing heavy traffic. In case of ambient temperature of 35ºC vehicular traffic can be allowed at 30 hours.
Low temperature working
Vetorep ER430 can be applied in cold conditions down to 12ºC. The materials should not be applied when the substrate and/or air temperature is 12ºC and falling. At 12ºC static temperature or at 12ºC and rising, the application may proceed.
However it is highly recommended to apply the products at temperatures above 15ºC to dismiss practical impediments of application.
High temperature working
At ambient temperatures above 35ºC Vetorep ER430 will have shorter pot life. The materials should be stored in the shade or in an air- conditioned environment and should not be applied in direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Vetorep ER430 should be removed from tools, equipment and mixers with Vetonit Solvent XX400 immediately after use.
