FİXA REPOX 560WB: Water-Based Epoxy Coating for Hygienic, Dust-Free, and Durable Floors

FİXA REPOX 560WB is a two-component, water-based paint and coating system based on epoxy resin. Thanks to its low VOC content, easy-to-clean surface structure, and water vapor permeability, it can be safely used in areas requiring hygiene.

It provides long-term protection while creating a durable and aesthetic surface in indoor applications.

What is FİXA REPOX 560WB?

REPOX 560WB is an environmentally friendly and odorless epoxy coating solution developed for concrete and cement-based surfaces.

Thanks to its water-based structure, it does not contain solvents and does not create disturbing odors during application.

With its high chemical resistance, it provides safe usage especially in indoor areas and environments with limited ventilation.

Application Areas

• Indoor concrete and mineral surfaces
• Dust-free and easy-to-clean floors
• Paint and protective coating applications on walls
• Hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical production facilities
• Food production and storage areas
• Shopping malls, schools, terminals, and parking areas
• Factory and warehouse floors, maintenance corridors
• Tunnels and enclosed areas with low ventilation

Technical Specifications

Advantages

• Water-based and solvent-free environmentally friendly formula
• Allows concrete to breathe with water vapor permeability
• Creates a dust-free and hygienic surface
• Easy-to-clean and washable structure
• Odorless application thanks to low VOC content
• Fast curing and easy application
• Aesthetic semi-gloss surface appearance
• High mechanical and chemical resistance

Application Conditions

1. Surface Preparation

The surface to be applied must be sound, clean, and dry.

Dust, oil, curing compounds, and loose particles on the surface must be completely removed.

The concrete substrate should have a minimum compressive strength of 25 MPa and tensile strength of 1.5 MPa.

The surface moisture content should be below 6%.

2. Mixing Preparation

First, Component A is mixed briefly.

Then Component B is added and mixed with a low-speed mixer for approximately 3–4 minutes until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.

3. Application

The prepared mixture can be applied using a roller, brush, or airless spray equipment.

Approximately 12 hours should be allowed between coats.

Before applying the second coat, any dust or dirt that may have formed on the surface should be removed.

4. Curing

The surface can be opened to pedestrian traffic approximately 24 hours after application.

Full mechanical and chemical resistance is achieved within 7 days.

Application Recommendations

• During application, the ambient temperature should not fall below +10°C.
• The difference between surface temperature and dew point should be at least 3°C.
• Water or solvent must never be added to the mixture.
• After application, the surface should be protected from water and chemical contact for the first 24 hours.
• Additional waterproofing systems are recommended for areas exposed to continuous water contact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can REPOX 560WB be used outdoors?

No. The product is designed for indoor applications. For outdoor use, a polyurethane topcoat is recommended to provide UV resistance.

How long before the floor can be used?

Under normal conditions, the surface can be opened to pedestrian traffic after 24 hours. Full resistance is achieved after approximately 7 days.

Is the product water-resistant?

Yes. Although it is water-based, it provides high water resistance after complete curing. However, additional waterproofing is recommended for areas exposed to prolonged water immersion.

How should the concrete surface be prepared?

The surface must be clean, dry, and sound, completely free from oil and dirt. Surface roughness should be increased, and moisture content should not exceed 6%.

Is the product environmentally safe?

Yes. Thanks to its water-based formulation, it has low VOC content and provides an environmentally friendly solution.
