FX-703
Epoxy Extender
DESCRIPTION:
FX-703 Epoxy Extender is a specially formulated blend of fine granules and plasticizers for use with trowelable (thixotropic) epoxy materials.
ADVANTAGES:
FX-703 Epoxy Extender can reduce the cost of an epoxy (trowel grade) material by 50% or more, depending upon the amount added. When properly mixed with epoxy, it will prevent sag due to exotherm developed by an epoxy polymer. When added at a rate of 1/2, 3/4, or 1 part by volume to a trowel grade epoxy, FX-703 will increase ultimate compressive strength by 40% to 50%. Initial strength development (8 to 24 hours) will be slower when FX-703 is added. If high-early strength is required to prevent washing away by liquids or in tile setting, use FX-753 HM Hydro-Ester® High Modulus Trowel or FX-763 Trowel Grade Epoxy neat without extender.
