Surfaces can be dry or damp, but must be free of <br />standing water. <br />• Patching, bonding, and adhering to concrete: Mechanically <br />prepare all concrete surfaces to a concrete surface profile <br />(CSP) of 3 - 5 per the International Concrete Repair Institute <br />(ICRI) Guideline No. 301-2R-2013. <br />• Cracks: Flush cracks clean using an appropriate cleaning <br />solution and rinse well. Use clean, oil free, compressed air <br />to blow out any remaining dust, water, or debris prior to <br />installation. <br />• Drilled Holes: Clean drilled holes with a cylindrical bristle <br />brush. Use clean, oil-free, compressed air to remove all dust <br />water, and debris prior to installation. Blow out holes from the <br />bottom up.</p> <p>Color</p> <p>Blue-Gray</p> <p>VOC Content</p> <p>0 g/L</p> <p>Mixing: <br />• BULK: The volume mixing ratio is 1 part component A to <br />1 Part component B (1A:1B). Carefully mix each part <br />individually and then accurately measure out equal volumes <br />of component A and component B before combining <br />together. Mix for 3 minutes using a low speed drill with a jiffy <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>All data are averages of several tests under laboratory conditions. In practice <br />climatic variations such as temperature, humidity, and porosity of substrate may <br />affect these values</p> <p>mixing blade or paddle. For best results, mix at slow speeds <br />(300 – 500 rpm) to prevent entraining air, and continue until <br />a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Do not mix in an up and <br />down motion. <br />Installation: <br />Structural Adhesive <br />• For use as a structural adhesive, apply the material neat and work into <br />substrate. The glue line should not exceed 1/8 inch. (3.17 mm). <br />Bonding & Coating <br />• When bonding concrete to concrete, use a brush, or roller to apply an <br />even coat of mixed EPOXY-Gel to both concrete surfaces, making sure <br />to fill all gaps. When bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete, <br />placement of fresh concrete must be done while EPOXY-Gel is still tacky. <br />If EPOXY-Gel hardens prior to concrete placement, epoxy surface will <br />need to be roughened and new EPOXY-Gel mixed and placed.</p> <p>Page 1 of 2</p> <p>(updated 1/4/23-EKAC)</p> <p>EPOXY-Gel <br />Repairing Cracks: <br />• Pump or caulk EPOXY-Gel into the crack and remove excess before it <br />sets. <br />Patching Mortar (Interior Repairs) <br />• To produce a patching mortar for interior repairs, mix 1 to 1-1/2 parts <br />by volume of clean, dry, well graded silica sand to 1 part by volume <br />of mixed EPOXY-Gel. Place the mortar, working it into the concrete <br />substrate and finish smooth. Each mortar lift should not exceed 1 inch. <br />(2.54 cm). <br />Chemical Anchoring Dowels, Bolts and Reinforcement <br />• When used as a chemical anchor, the annular space around the bolt <br />in the hole should not exceed 1/8 inch. (3.17 mm). Place the mixing <br />nozzle at the bottom of the hole and begin dispensing from bottom to <br />top, using constant and even pressure until the hole is approximately <br />2/3 full. Be careful not to withdraw the nozzle too quickly, as this <br />may trap unwanted air in the adhesive. Check the anchor element to <br />make sure it is straight, clean, free of oil and dirt, and the necessary <br />embedment depth is marked. Place the anchor element into the back of <br />the hole, rotating the rod slowly (1-2 rotations) prior to reaching bottom <br />to displace EPOXY-Gel as it is inserted. NOTE: Always establish a <br />uniform non-streak color before use to verify proper mixing. If dispensing <br />is interrupted, recheck the extruded EPOXY-Gel for uniform streakfree color before continuing use. If working time has been exceeded, <br />replace the mixing nozzle and repeat the mixing steps above. <br />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 mixed <br />thoroughly and that the material will harden properly before proceeding. <br />• Per NTSB Safety Recommendations, the use of adhesive anchors is <br />prohibited in sustained overhead load anchoring applications. <br />• Substrate temperatures should be a minimum of 50°F (10°C). <br />• For applications with constant high temperature [above 105°F <br />(40.5°C)], contact Aquafin Technical Department. <br />• Do not expose stored product to cold or freezing temperature [below <br />50°F (10°C)] for any length of time. <br />• Do not mix more than can be used in 30 mins [based on 75°F (24°C)]. <br />• Consult Aquafin Technical Department when mixing or placing outside <br />of the temperature recommendations listed.</p> <p>Storage and Shelf Life: <br />Shelf Life: 3 years in original unopened container <br />Storage: 60°F to 90°F (15.5°C to 32°C) in dry and dark conditions <br />Temperature Considerations: IMPORTANT! Epoxy resins are temperature <br />sensitive and care should be taken to condition all components to <br />between 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C) prior to mixing and placement. <br />Temperatures colder than stated range increase viscosity of resins and <br />inhibit mixing and flow of materials. Temperatures warmer than stated <br />range decrease viscosity of resins, hasten the cure and reduce the working <br />time. Mixing and curing at less than ideal temperatures, <50°F or >105°F <br />(<10°C or > 40.5°C), will require special considerations. <br />Safety: <br />Refer to SDS. For commercial use only. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. <br />Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles during mixing and application. <br />After contact with skin, wash with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, <br />rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical <br />advice.
