In the waste and recycling management sectors, maintaining the integrity of the environment is an important component to preserving land infrastructure and equipment vitality. Disruptions to concrete and other permeable surfaces can be a reoccurring issue for those who operate heavy machinery in this sector. 

ITW Polymers & Fluids is a company that prides itself on providing a wide variety of chemical construction products available for use in industrial areas. One of the ITW hero brands, Epirez, pioneered the development of epoxy-based adhesives and coatings for use with concrete in Australia.  

Manufactured in Australia since 1955, ITW Polymers & Fluids products continuously develop their epoxy and allied technology development for contractors in the Australian building and construction industry. The Epirez product range is aimed at repairing concrete and hardened surfaces, making it an ideal solution for damage incurred from heavy machinery use.  

Issue: Slip Issues 

Anti-slip floor coatings

 Safe Step 550

Safe Step 550 is a high solids, heavy duty, non-slip coating for application in slippery areas to make them safer for both pedestrian and rolling equipment traffic. 

 QA2/QA30/SIL-CARB 

QA2 Aggregates – A range of inert granules that have been washed, kiln dried and graded and can be used to improve the performance characteristics of structural grout and flooring systems. 

 

Issue: Heavy traffic 

Highway Patch 

Highway Patch – A patented hydraulic rapid set cement repair mortar that provides high early strengths, high bonding strengths and precision non-shrink performance. It provides users with the economic advantage of adding up to 60% pea gravel (6-10 mm) extension without forming excessive voids, reduced workability or long-term durability deterioration. 

 Ezirender High Build (HB) 

Ezirender® High Build (HB) – A versatile one-part polymer modified lightweight repair mortar enabling high build concrete repairs in both overhead and vertical applications. It offers the unique advantage of shrinkage control in both plastic and hardened states, so that repairs will maintain long term durability.

Issue: Concrete Abrasion 

General Purpose Epoxy Mortar Binder (133) 

General Purpose Epoxy Mortar Binder (133) is a two part epoxy liquid which when combined with aggregate (graded sand) produces concretes and mortars exhibiting excellent adhesion, high compressive and tensile strength and exceptional resistance to the entry of water and other causes of concrete cancer.  

Non-sag Epoxy Mortar Binder (633) 

Non-Sag Epoxy Mortar Binder (633) is a solventless, non-sag epoxy paste which can be used in vertical or overhead applications. When combined with graded sand, it produces a stiff mortar for larger volume applications. 

 Crack Repair Epoxy Sealer (123) 

Epirez Crack Repair Epoxy Sealer (123) is a high strength epoxy injection grout offering low mixed viscosity and fast hardening to produce a bonding matrix exhibiting excellent adhesion and high compressive and tensile strength. 

Multi-Purpose Epoxy Concrete Repair (Multi II) 

Multi-Purpose Epoxy Concrete Repair (Multi II) is a multi-purpose epoxy for the repair of concrete and bonding of various construction materials. Its 1:1 mix ratio makes it easy to use and water clean up prior to cure eliminates the need for the use of solvents.
