R 21 CE
1mm Thick Self-Smoothing Epoxy Floor System
DESCRIPTION
A specialist applied, self-smoothing, epoxy resin

floor finish combining outstanding wearing
properties with chemical resistance and
decorative properties. Ideally suited in areas
where a seamless, joint free finish is required
and maximum cleanliness is essential.
Laboratories, clean rooms, and general light
industry are just some of the environments
that can benefit from this system.
SURFACE PREPARATION
It is essential that R 21 CE is applied to sound,

clean and dry surfaces to ensure maximum
adhesion.
R 21 CE is designed for use as a thin coat
application at internal situation which is not
exposed to sunlight.
If applied at exposed situation where direct or
indirect sunlight falls, floor will undergo the
yellowing effect.
NOTE: Thin coatings will reflect the surface
texture of the substrates and as such high
spots may lead to premature wear of the
coating, thus surface preparation techniques
should be chosen appropriately. The ideal
substrate for application is a flat, lightly
textured, clean concrete surface.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
The concrete surface must be hard, sound and

free of dust, oil, polish, wax, greases and other
barrier materials such as paint, lime coatings,
plaster, curing agents, laitance, adhesive
residues etc., that will inhibit adhesion to the
substrate.
Use a suitable degreaser to remove polish,
wax, grease, oil and similar contaminating
substances prior to mechanical preparation.
Contaminated concrete surfaces should be
mechanically prepared, either by scabbling,
grinding or contained shot blasting equipment
or similar, and be vacuumed clean prior to
applying R 3 E. Overwatered or otherwise weak
concrete surfaces must also be suitably
prepared down to sound, solid concrete by
mechanical methods. Dust and other debris
should be removed using vacuum equipment.
NOTE: Any joints or cracks in the concrete
base where differential movement is anticipated
e.g. movement joints, should be brought
through to the finished surface. New concrete
slabs must be allowed to cure for at least
14 days. Moisture in the substrate shall be less
than 5 %.
PRIMING
All areas to be treated with R 21 CE must first

be primed with ARDEX ENDURA R 3 E. One or
more coats of primer may be required
depending upon the condition and porosity of
the concrete substrate. High porosity
substrates may be revealed after preparation
and will be evident by their rapid suction and
absorption. If in doubt use two coats of

ARDEX ENDURA R 3 E. Poorly primed surfaces
may lead to blistering or pin holing in the cured
resin. Allow for over night drying
PROPERTIES
The values shown are typical of results

obtained in the laboratory at 27 1C. Actual
performance values obtained on site may vary
from those quoted.
MIXING
The individual contents of the R 21 CE should

be thoroughly stirred before being mixed
together. Mix Part D with Part A. Ensure smooth
mixing. The entire contents should be poured in
to a larger mixing vessel to incorporate the
Part B and Part C. The four materials are mixed
thoroughly with a spiral mixing paddle in a slow
speed drill. The mixing of all the four should
continue for 1 minute until a consistent
homogenous mix is achieved. One or more
packs may be mixed simultaneously to ensure a
quick rate of installation.
NOTE: Once mixed, the R 21 CE will generate
heat and lose working time if it is left in the
mixing container or otherwise kept in bulk.
APPLICATION
The mixed R 21 CE material should be applied

to the prepared and over night dried primed
surface without delay using a trowel or depth
set rake to achieve the desired thickness. As
soon as the R 21 CE has been laid and as work
progresses, the surface should be gently rolled
with a spiked roller in order to release any
entrapped air from the mix also to blend out any
trowel marks. The work area should be
protected during the installation process and
during the initial curing time to ensure that no
debris can contaminate the surface of the resin,
as this will lead to unwanted blemishes in the
hardened, cured surface.
LIMITATIONS
R 21 CE should not be applied to floors that are

known to have rising moisture or have relative
humidity of greater than 75% at the time of
application. These products should not be
applied in temperatures less than 10C or
where the ambient relative humidity is greater
than 85%. Do not steam clean or use hot water
above 55C to wash the surface.
NOTE: All
products are manufactured under

strict Quality Assurance procedures, however
it is recommended that where colour
consistency is essential, wherever possible,
products from one batch should be used.
CLEANING
R 21 CE can be removed from tools and

equipment by using ARDEX ENDURA RTC 100
immediately after use. Any hardened material
will need to be removed mechanically.

Good housekeeping and regular cleaning is
essential in order to maintain the performance
of R 21 CE. It is particularly importance in areas
that are subject to regular spillage of chemicals.
Spillages should not be allowed to dry, which
results in higher concentrations of the
chemicals, which may lead to early failure.
Regular cleaning of the surface with a rotary
scrubbing machine in conjunction with a water
miscible cleaning agent or hot water washing at
temperatures up to 50C is recommended.
PRECAUTIONS
In case of contact with the eyes, rinse

immediately with plenty of water and seek
medical advice and after contact with the skin
wash immediately with plenty of soap and water
(do not use solvents). Prolonged contact with
the skin should be avoided, especially where
the user has an allergic reaction to epoxide
materials. Always wear gloves and eye/face
protection is necessary. Observe personal
hygiene, particularly washing the hands after
work has been completed or at any interruption
whilst work is in progress. Care should be
taken when removing gloves to avoid
contaminating the insides. In case of accidents
seek medical advice.

pleasing decorative properties. Ideally suited
in aggressive areas where a seamless, joint
free finish is required and maximum cleanliness
is essential. Factories and general heavy duty
plant and traffic areas are just some of the
environments that can benefit from the tough
chemically resistant system.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The concrete or screed substrate must be

hard, sound, free of dust and other barrier
materials such as paint, lime coatings, plaster,
curing agents, laitance, adhesive residues, oil,
grease, wax, polish etc., that will inhibit
adhesion to the substrate.
mechanically prepared, either by scrabbling,
applying R 70 CP. Overwatered or otherwise
through to the finished surface and suitably
sealed. New concrete slabs must be allowed
to cure for at least 14 days.
To ensure maximum bond, grooves must be
cut into the perimeter of the sub-floor, typically
8 mm deep by 8 mm wide. These should be
inset approximately 100mm from and running
parallel with the walls and adjacent to
doorways and plinths etc., including any
finishing edges and day joints. The grooves
must have clean, square edges and the
product laid into the full depth of the groove
forming a perimeter anchorage. Grooves
should surround areas not exceeding 20 m.
seeded with Fine Aggregate at dosage of

1kg/sqm to aid application.
Alternatively priming can be achieved using a
nominal 1mm scratch coat of R 70 CP. Mix the
R 70 CP as per the data sheet, pour onto the
floor and spread thinly using a straight edge
trowel. Scratch off the excess with the edge of
the trowel and leave to cure for 16 hours or
overnight.
MIXING
The contents of Part A and Part B of R 70 CP

must first be mixed together for 1 minute, using
forced action, in a suitably sized mixing vessel.
The contents of Part C the powder component
and Part D pigment should then be introduced
into the mixed resin and mixed together for a
further 2 minutes to create one homogeneous
mix. One or more packs may be mixed at the
same time in order to maintain a quick rate of
installation.
APPLICATION
For flooring applications, the mixed material

should be applied to the primed/scratch coated
surface after 8 and 24 hours after
priming/scratch coating, using a trowel to
achieve the desired thickness. As soon as the
product has been laid and as work progresses,
the surface should be gently rolled with a spiked
roller in order to provide
an even surface appearance. Do not re-roll later.
time to ensure that no airborne debris can
contaminate the surface of the wet resin as this
will lead to unwanted blemishes in the hardened,
cured surface.
All movement joints in the sub-floor must be
carried through the topping and properly sealed.
Construction joints and cracks not subject to
movement may be overlaid but should the floor
move in any way, these defects will reflect
through the system. Isolation joints will need
to be allowed for in areas where high thermal
movement is anticipated, e.g. around ovens and
freezers.
STEEL PLATES
Steel decking must be cleaned, sound and

properly supported to prevent flexing. Deck
plate of less than 4 mm thick is not

LIMITATIONS
R 70 CP should only be applied at temperature

above 5C and where the atmospheric relative
humidity (RH) is 90% or below. Floors should
have a RH of 75% or less. For floors with an RH
of more than 75%, the entire floor area should
be treated with effective Suitable Damp Proof
Membrane. The substrate should have a surface
tensile strength of at least 1.5 N/mm. R 70 CP
and primer/ an effective Suitable Damp Proof
Membrane may be applied to substrates of a
lower strength, but long-term performance may
be impaired. Once the mixed material has
exceeded its pot life, the viscosity and the
characteristics of the product will change and

CONDITIONS OF SALE
The information supplied in this datasheet is

based upon extensive experience and is given in
good faith in order to help you. Our Company
policy is one of continuous Research and
Development; we therefore reserve the right to
update this information at any time without prior
notice. We also guarantee the consistent high
quality of our products. However, as we have no
control over site conditions or the execution of
the work, we accept no liability for any loss or
damage which may arise as a result thereof.
ARDEX ENDURA polyurethane floor systems

are formulated to maximise the mechanical and
chemical resistance properties, as a result of
this, these types of systems are discoloured by
ultraviolet light leading to a yellowing effect.
This yellowing effect is dependent upon the
amount of UV exposure, both in terms of
intensity and time, and is more noticeable with
lighter colours.
PRECAUTIONS
05/15
During mixing and application the following

precautions should be observed: ensure
adequate ventilation and avoid contact of the
material with the eyes, nasal passages, mouth
and unprotected skin. Avoid contact with the
hands by wearing protective gloves and by
using, if necessary, a suitable barrier cream.

Specialist applied, polyurethane resin floor

finish, combining outstanding wearing
properties with high chemical resistance
and decorative properties. Ideally suited to
aggressive areas where a seamless, joint free
finish is required and maximum cleanliness is
essential. Food processing and storage,
abattoir's, drinks production, dairies and
general heavy duty plant and traffic areas
are just some of the environments that can
benefit from this slip resistant system. R 90 CP
has been formulated to give an easily worked
system that can be applied quickly and easily
by using a pin rake, only requiring finishing with
a trowel to give the required finish.
All appropriate substrates to receive R 90 CP

must first be primed with ARDEX ENDURA R 3 E
Solvent Free Epoxy Primer. One or more coats
of primer may be required depending upon the
condition and porosity of the concrete
substrate. The final coat of ARDEX ENDURA
R 3 E Solvent Free Epoxy Primer must be
seeded with Fine Aggregate to provide a
mechanical key.
Alternatively priming can be achieved using a
nominal 1mm scratch coat of ARDEX ENDURA
R 70 CP. Mix the ARDEX ENDURA R 70 CP as
per the data sheet, pour onto the floor and
spread thinly using a straight edge trowel.
Scratch off the excess with the edge of the
trowel and leave to cure for 16 hours or
overnight.
R 90 CP should only be applied at

temperatures above 5C and where the
atmospheric relative humidity (RH) is 90% or
below. Floors should have an RH of 75% or
less. For floors with an RH of more than 75%,
the entire floor area should be treated with an
effective Suitable Damp Proof Membrane. The
substrate should have a surface tensile
strength of at least 1.5 N/mm.
R 90 CP and primer / Suitable Damp Proof
Membrane may be applied to substrates of a
lower strength, but long term performance may
be impaired. Once the mixed material has
any unused product should be discarded at this
time.
MIXING
CLEANING
The contents of Part A and Part B of R 90 CP

must first be mixed together for 1 minute, using
forced action, in a suitably sized mixing vessel.
The contents of Part C and Part D pigment
should then be introduced into the mixed resin
and mixed together for a further 2 minutes to
create one homogeneous mix. One or more
packs may be mixed at the same time in order
to maintain a quick rate of installation.
R 90 CP can be removed from tools and

SURFACE PREPARATION
The concrete or screed substrate must be

hard, sound and free of dust and other barrier
materials such as paint, lime coatings, plaster,
curing agents, polish, wax, grease, oil, laitance,
adhesive residues etc, that will inhibit adhesion
to the substrate.
mechanically prepared, either by scabbling,
applying R 90 CP. Overwatered or otherwise
To ensure maximum bond, grooves must be
cut into the perimeter of the sub-floor, typically
8 mm deep by 8 mm wide. These should be
inset approximately 100mm from and running
parallel with the walls and adjacent to
doorways and plinths etc., including any
finishing edges and day joints. The grooves
must have clean, square edges and the
product laid into the full depth of the groove
forming a perimeter anchorage. Grooves
should surround areas not exceeding 20 m.
STEEL PLATES
Steel decking must be clean, sound and

properly supported to prevent flexing.
Deck plate of less than 4mm thick is not
recommended. Surfaces should be shot
blasted to SA2.5 and primed using
ARDEX ENDURA R 3 E Solvent Free Epoxy
Primer. If deck plates undergoes in
movement /flexing /vibration, installed R 90 CP
may crack or debond.
PROPERTIES

from those quoted.
APPLICATION
The mixed material should be applied to the

prepared and primed /scratch coat surface
without delay using a pin rake to achieve the
desired thickness and closed with a steel trowel.
If a smoother texture is required, as
soon as the product has been laid and as work
progresses, the surface should be gently rolled
with a short piled roller in order to provide an
even surface appearance. Do not over roll the
surface, as this will reduce the texture of the
surface finish. Do not re-roll later.
NOTE:

Construction joints and cracks not subject to
movement may be overlaid but should the floor
move in anyway, these defects will reflect
through the system. Isolation joints will need
to be allowed for in areas where high thermal
movement is anticipated, e.g. around ovens
and freezers.
