CERAMAX® EP 300
CERAMAX® EP 300 is a two-component, solvent-free, epoxy based tile adhesive and grout with high resistance to chemical and mechanical exposure.
Complies with class R2T according to EN 12004-1 and class RG according to EN 13888-1.
R2: Improved reaction resin adhesive
T: Reduced slip
RG: Reaction resin grout
Fields of Application
• Interior and exterior applications, on walls and floors
• Fixing and grouting of ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and glass mosaic
• Chemical industry, laboratories, production and storage facilities, paper, leather and battery plants
• Food industry, slaughterhouses, dairies, restaurants, wine and beer plants, biscuit and tomato paste factories
• Hospitals and clinics; operating theatres, kitchens, showers and sanitary areas
• Swimming pools, saunas, thermal and salt water spas
• Supermarkets, shopping centres, metro stations, car parks, public toilets and water filtration plants
• Over cement based screeds and renders, and on metal substrates
Advantages
• Used as a single product for both fixing and grouting
• High chemical resistance to acids, alkalis and various solvents
• Non-porous structure does not absorb water, dirt or bacteria
• High mechanical and abrasion resistance
• Extended working time for comfortable application
• Easy to apply and easy to clean off
• Fixing and grouting with one product for joint widths of 1–12 mm
• High colour stability; no colour variation in the joints
