Before attaching <br />the mixing nozzle, balance the cartridge by dispensing a small amount <br />Page 1 of 3</p> <p>(01/31/24-EKAC)</p> <p>EPOXY-GEL Fast <br />of material until both components are flowing evenly. Screw the provided <br />mixing nozzle on to the cartridge (do not modify mixing nozzle). Confirm <br />that internal mixing element is in place prior to dispensing adhesive. Begin <br />squeezing a small amount of material from the mixing nozzle onto a <br />disposable surface until the material extruded is a smooth uniform blue-gray <br />color with no streaks. Material with an off color or streaking is not properly <br />mixed and will not set properly or perform as expected. Do not use this <br />part for application. Once the proper mixture is achieved, discard the <br />material that was initially extruded from the nozzle per federal, state, and <br />local regulations, then begin application. <br />NOTE: Always establish a uniform non-streak color before use to verify <br />proper mixing. If dispensing is interrupted, recheck the extruded EPOXYGEL FAST for uniform streak-free color before continuing use. If working <br />time has been exceeded, replace the mixing nozzle and repeat the mixing <br />steps above. <br />Application: <br />IMPORTANT! Epoxy resins are temperature sensitive and care should be <br />taken to condition all components to between 70°F to 90°F (21°C to <br />32°C) prior to placement. Temperatures colder than stated range increase <br />viscosity of resins and inhibit mixing and flow of materials. Temperatures <br />warmer than stated range decrease viscosity of resins, hasten the cure and <br />reduce the working time. Curing at less than ideal temperatures, <50°F or <br />>105°F (<10°C or > 40°C), will require special considerations. <br />•S <br /> tructural Adhesive: <br />• For use as a structural adhesive, apply the material neat and <br />work into substrate. The glue line should not exceed 1/8 inch. <br />(3.18 mm). <br />•B <br /> onding & Coating: <br />• When bonding concrete to concrete, use a brush, or roller <br />to apply an even coat of mixed EPOXY-GEL Fast to both <br />concrete surfaces, making sure to fill all gaps. When bonding <br />fresh concrete to hardened concrete, placement of fresh <br />concrete must be done while EPOXY-GEL Fast is still tacky. If <br />EPOXY-GEL Fast hardens prior to concrete placement, epoxy <br />surface will need to be roughened and new EPOXY-GEL Fast <br />will need to be placed. <br />• R epairing Cracks: <br />• Dispense EPOXY-GEL Fast into the crack and remove excess <br />before it sets. <br />• Patching Mortar (Interior Repairs): <br />• To produce a patching mortar for interior repairs, mix 1 to <br />1-1/2 parts by volume of clean, dry, well graded silica <br />sand to 1 part by volume of mixed EPOXY-GEL Fast. Place <br />the mortar, working it into the concrete substrate and finish <br />smooth. Each mortar lift should not exceed 1 inch. (2.54 cm). <br />• Chemical Anchoring Dowels, Bolts and Reinforcement: <br />• When used as a chemical anchor, the annular space around <br />the bolt in the hole should not exceed 1/8 inch. (3.17 mm). <br />Place the mixing nozzle at the bottom of the hole and begin <br />dispensing from bottom to top, using constant and even <br />pressure until the hole is approximately 2/3 full. Be careful <br />not to withdraw the nozzle too quickly, as this may trap <br />unwanted air in the adhesive. Check the anchor element to <br />make sure it is straight, clean, free of oil and dirt, and the <br />necessary embedment depth is marked. Place the anchor <br />element into the back of the hole, rotating the rod slowly (1-2 <br />rotations) prior to reaching bottom to displace EPOXY-GEL <br />Fast as it is inserted.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Clean-up: <br />EQUIPMENT: Uncured material can be removed with approved solvent. <br />Cured material can only be removed mechanically. <br />MATERIAL: Collect with absorbent material. Flush area with water. Dispose <br />of in accordance with local, state and federal disposal regulations. <br />Limitations: <br />• Do not thin with solvents. <br />• For anchoring applications, concrete should be a minimum of 21 days <br />old before anchor installation. <br />• Always test a small amount to ensure that the product is correctly mixed <br />when dispensed from the cartridge. Ensure that the material hardens <br />properly before proceeding with the application. <br />• Per NTSB Safety Recommendations, the use of adhesive anchors is <br />prohibited in sustained overhead load anchoring applications. <br />•S <br /> ubstrate temperatures should be a minimum of 50°F (10°C). <br />• F or applications with constant high temperature [above 105°F (41°C)], <br />contact Aquafin Technical Department. <br />• Do not expose stored product to cold or freezing temperature [below <br />40°F (4°C)] for any length of time. <br />• Consult Aquafin Technical Department when mixing or placing outside <br />of the temperature recommendations listed. <br />Note: <br />Proper application is the sole responsibility of the user.
