HYCHEM WE70 is a clear, two-component, high solids water-based epoxy coating with very low odour and zero VOC (volatile organic compound). It offers excellent early water resistance, curing at low temperature (5°C) and excellent adhesion to 1 day old green concrete. It is recommended for use as a protective coating on concrete surface exposed to foot and light vehicular traffic. It is also recommended for use as an intermediate coat on green concrete to allow the installation of the required topping system without the normal wait for the 28 day curing.
