Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane


If you are looking for a really versatile epoxy, the Remmers Epoxy FAS 100 is a good choice. It quite literally sticks to anything – underwater repairs, oily or damp surfaces, ceramic and terrazzo tiles - the whole lot. Epoxy FAS 100 contains special adhesion promoters which makes it perfect as a primer when you are wanting to paint or stick to a 'dodgy' surface.

And what's more, it makes a great damp barrier!

Epoxy FAS 100 is transparent with a straw coloured tint, this epoxy resin, once mixed, hardens to a super-tough finish which sticks to all sorts of troublesome surfaces.

The bond is so strong that you will destroy the surface to remove it. At room temperature it hardens after 4-5 hours to give a final bond after a few more hours which is almost impossible to break.

What you can use it for:
  • floor primer and sealer
  • crack and void filler
  • fast cure epoxy clear coating
  • laminating resin (use with glass fibre)
  • damp-proof barrier
  • sealer on oily floor patches ( some oil, not loads and loads!)
  • stop damp damaging wooden floors
  • garage floor primer before painting
  • use on tiles, damp and 'dodgy' surfaces
  • fill with dry sand to make a repair mortar

Besides using it as a primer you can fill with dry quartz sand to make a repair mortar or a levelling layer for rougher floors which need to be levelled before coating.

It cures within 4 hours.
