Product
EPAR HPN
A soft, two-part thixotropic epoxy mortar/paste, gunable and trowellable. EPAR HPN has excellent adhesion to most materials including concrete, metals, bricks, ceramic, glass etc.
EPAR HPN is non-shrink and has excellent chemical resistance.
What's it used for?
EPAR HPN is used in applications where an epoxy mortar, such as EPAR 705, EM or EX, is not suitable due to viscosity. The excellent mechanical properties of EPAR HPN make it suitable for many applications including the following:
Bedding and jointing of precast concrete units
Grouting of horizontal starter bars and bolts
Repair of spalling concrete and protection of reinforcing
Levelling and patching of concrete floors under heavy load or impact
Fabrication of concrete pipe intersections
Tiling
Bonding of aggregates to concrete etc, for decorative finishes
Bedding of machines and backing plates both vertical and horizontal.
What can it be applied to?
EPAR HPN can be applied to most materials including concrete, metals, bricks, ceramic, glass etc.
Limitations
For optimal performance with any epoxy system it is important to:
Proportion the hardener and resin accurately.
Thoroughly mix together until of an even colour and consistency.
Use the correct product for the conditions, especially during cold weather.
If potable water contact is required, then refer to EPAR EM Epoxy Mortar.
Not suitable for bonding plastic products.
Product

Product
FAIRFILL
FAIRFILL is a two-part, light and sandable epoxy fairing and filling compound. FAIRFILL is non-shrinking, nonporous and cold curing thereby allowing application in all temperatures. FAIRFILL is easily sanded using sandpaper, a power sander or other woodworking/finishing tools.
What's it used for?
The excellent finishing properties of FAIRFILL combined with ease of use make it an extremely versatile product for smoothing or filling surfaces before the application of a subsequent coating or paint. FAIRFILL is non-shrink and is easily sanded and finished.
As FAIRFILL is a cold-curing epoxy, curing will take place at temperatures down to 0 °C. There is no need to ensure that the ambient temperature or substrate temperature is above 15°C as is common with most other epoxy products.
What can it be applied to?
Common uses for FAIRFILL are:
Filling screw holes in fibre cement sheet
Boats – smoothing hulls and other surfaces
Repairing formwork
Housing applications (timber poles, weatherboards, wallboards, etc
Model making.
FAIRFILL is particularly suitable for filling gaps and holes in fibre cement sheets.
Limitations
FAIRFILL is not suitable for application to plastic substrates. FAIRFILL should not be used in applications subject to wear as, being sandable, it will be damaged and worn by trafficking.
FAIRFILL may be used as an adhesive in appropriate applications (such as gluing timber back into weatherboards, etc), but a more suitable EPAR epoxy system should be used for more demanding applications.
