Yapbuilt FRP Saturant

It is used for bonding carbon/glass fiber (fibrous polymer) material to the surface in the elements to be reinforced with the YAPBUILT© FRP FIB system

Suitable carbon fiber polymer fabrics should be cut to the dimensions specified in the project. The surfaces on which YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT will be applied must be primed with YAPBUILT® FRP PRIMER. It must be applied together with the system components YAPBUILT® FRP PRIMER and YAPBUILT® FRP BOND in accordance with the application specifications

Mixing: YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT is supplied in ready-to-use sets according to the mixing ratio. Before starting the mixture, it should be ensured that the material temperatures are between (+15) – (+25)°C. All of component B must be emptied into component A and it must be ensured that there is no material left in component B. The mixture should be mixed with a mixer of approximately 300 rpm and a suitable mixing tip for at least 2-3 minutes, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, making sure that there is no unmixed material on the edges and bottom of the package

Application: Within 24 hours following the YAPBUILT® FRP PRIMER application, YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT application should be started. The material should be applied to the primed surfaces with a roller in such a way that it obtains a thickness of 0.8 -1 mm. While the material is still wet, polymer fabrics with fibers cut to appropriate sizes should be stretched in line with the (FRP) fibers and adhered to the surface. Then, by pressing the fiber polymer fabrics with a roll in line with the fibers, it should be ensured that YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT is impregnated into the fabric and there is no gap between it and the surface, the second layer of adhesive should be applied on the fibrous polymer fabric adhered to the surface with a roller in line with the fibers. In multi-layer fibrous polymer applications, 700 – 800 gr/m2 adhesive should be used between layers. In areas that will be exposed to sunlight, the material should be covered with UV-resistant products within 7 days at the latest after application. When resistance to fire is desired, it should be covered with fire-resistant special mortars of appropriate thickness. In order to be able to plaster on it, while the topcoat YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT is still wet, the surfaces to be plastered should be sprinkled with toothed sand to create roughness on the surface that will facilitate the adhesion of the plaster.

During the application, the ambient and surface temperature should not be below (+5)°C and above (+35)°C. YAPBUILT® FRP systems should be implemented by expert practitioners. The operating and reaction times of resin-based systems are affected by ambient and ground temperature and relative humidity in the air. At low temperatures, the chemical reaction slows down, which increases the life of the pan, the duration of the coatability and the operating time. At the same time, as the viscosity increases, the consumption increases. High temperatures increase the chemical reaction, and the times mentioned above are correspondingly shortened. In order for the entire material to complete its cure, the ambient and floor temperature should not fall below the minimum permissible temperature. After completion of the coating, the coating must be protected from direct water contact for at least 24 hours. YAPBUILT® FRP SATURANT is supplied in ready-to-use sets. During the application, solvents such as solvents should not be added to the mixture. Care should be taken to prepare enough material to be used during the working period. Mixing must necessarily be carried out with the help of suitable mechanical mixers. Manual mixing should not be done. In applications to be made in special situations (different weather conditions, different application areas, etc.) that are not specified in the information sheet, consult YAPKİM YAPI KİMYA SANAYİ A.Ş. Technical Service.

It is 1.60 – 1.80 kg/m2 for the first layer and 0.70 – 0.90 kg/m2 for each subsequent layer of fiber.

Component A: 3.75 kg Metal Bucket
Component B: 1.25 kg Metal Bucket

It should be stored in its unopened original packaging, in a cool and dry environment, protected from frost. In short-term storage, a maximum of 3 pallets should be placed on top of each other and shipment should be made with a first-in, first-out system. In long-term storage, pallets should not be stacked on top of each other. Under proper storage conditions, it is 18 months from the date of manufacture. Opened packages should be stored under appropriate storage conditions and used within a week.
