EpoxyPro EP8020 Mid Viscosity Pebble & Stone Binder Epoxy 2:1

EpoxyPro EP8020 Mid Viscosity Pebble & Stone Binder Epoxy 2:1

EpoxyPro EP8020 is a specialized, UV-stable mid-viscosity clear epoxy resin system engineered to bind natural stone and pebble aggregates into seamless, durable, and permeable paving systems. Designed with greater film body than standard fluid binders, EP8020 prevents resin drain-down and runoff, ensuring maximum stone encapsulation on inclined surfaces and larger aggregate stone blends.

Featuring a mid-viscosity consistency (~8,800 cP), EP8020 holds firm on slopes, ramps, and vertical steps while coating every stone particle evenly. It cures to a crystal-clear, weather-resistant matrix that allows surface water to drain freely—making it ideal for sloped driveways, pool surrounds, and decorative architectural stone paving.

Key Features & Performance

• Mid-Viscosity Body (~8,800 cP): Enhanced body prevents resin runoff to the bottom of the slab, ensuring superior stone hold on slopes and ramps.
• Optimized for Larger Stone Blends: Higher film build coats larger pebbles (e.g., 6–12mm) effectively without starving upper surface stones.
• UV-Stable Crystal Clear Finish: Formulated with advanced UV inhibitors to prevent yellowing, chalking, and sun degradation in outdoor environments.
• Permeable Drainage Matrix: Creates a porous paving structure that eliminates water pooling and supports stormwater drainage.
• Simple 2:1 Mix Ratio: Easy 2 parts Resin : 1 part Hardener (by volume) with a workable ~30–40 minute pot life @ 23°C.
• Rapid Foot & Vehicle Return: Ready for light foot traffic in 24 hours; full mechanical strength achieved in 48–72 hours.

Ideal Applications

• Sloped pebble driveways, ramps, incline walkways, and terraced garden paths
• Exposed aggregate stone paving using larger stone grades (6–12mm pebbles)
• Pool surrounds, outdoor entertainment areas, and courtyards requiring superior resin hold
• Resurfacing uneven or sloped concrete steps and retaining borders with natural stone overlays

System Coverage & Mixing Guide

For optimal mechanical performance and aggregate encapsulation, follow standard trade mixing ratios:

• Standard Mix Ratio: 6 Litres of mixed EP8020 binder (4L Part A + 2L Part B) combined with 60kg of kiln-dried river pebbles.
• Coverage Rate: 6L mixed resin + 60kg pebbles covers approximately 3m² at 9–13mm finished depth (approx. 3–4 pebbles thick).
• Pebble Requirement: Always ensure aggregates are 100% clean, dust-free, and kiln-dried before mixing.

Non-Slip & Traction Additive Options

While EP8020 binds stones into a naturally textured finish, slip resistance should be enhanced on sloped surfaces or pool edges. Recommended traction additives include:

• Crushed Glass Grit (Clear, invisible texture that preserves natural stone colors)
• Aluminium Oxide Granules (Maximum industrial traction for sloped driveways and vehicle ramps)
• Polymer Anti-Slip Flakes (Barefoot-friendly texture ideal for pool decks and patios)
• Silica Sand (#30 Mesh) (Broadcast over wet stones for uniform traction)
