Application

 

SURFACE PREPARATION

Step 1: Saw cut approx. 1/2 in./1.2 cm deep around perimeter of area to be patched and remove all deteriorated and unsound concrete with chipping hammers not to exceed 30 lbs.

 

Step 2: Thoroughly clean patch area and exposed reinforcing steel by sandblasting to white metal finish. Vacuum all dust and loose particles from area.

 

MIXING

PRO-POXY 2500 is shipped in a pre-measured .5 cu. ft./0.014 cu. m unit or a 2 cu. ft./0.056 cu. m unit. Mix complete units only.

Step 1: Pre-mix each liquid component thoroughly.

Step 2: Pour components A and B into pail and mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with a Jiffy type mixer on low-speed (300 rpm) until material is of uniform consistency. Keep mixer at bottom of pail to avoid introducing air.

Step 3: Slowly add component C (aggregate) to mixed liquid components. Mix thoroughly until all aggregate is wetted out.

PATCHING CONCRETE

Prime patch area with mixed components A and B with brush or roller. Immediately place patch. Set screeds or float to desired level, strike off, thoroughly compact and finish the surface.

Limitations

Minimum substrate temperature is 40°F (5°C).

Minimum age of concrete for bonding should be 5-7 days.

Cleanup

EQUIPMENT: Uncured material can be removed with Unitex CITRUS CLEANER or other approved solvent. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.

 

MATERIAL: Collect with absorbent material. Flush area with water. Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal disposal regulations.

First Aid

EYE CONTACT: Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Contact physician immediately.


RESPIRATORY CONTACT:
Remove person to fresh air.


SKIN CONTACT:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Remove epoxy immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel. Solvents should not be used as they carry the irritant into the skin. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.

CURED EPOXY RESINS ARE INNOCUOUS.

Cautions

Component A - Irritant

Component B - Corrosive

Product is a strong sensitizer. Use of safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves are recommended.

Use of a NIOSH/MSHA organic vapor respirator is recommended if ventilation is inadequate.

Avoid breathing vapors.

Avoid skin contact.

Epoxy Polymer Extends Life For World's Longest Covered Bridge It’s a smoother and safer ride for motorists crossing over the Hartland Covered Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, Canada—the world’s longest covered bridge. The bridge deck has been covered with an epoxy polymer overlay from Unitex.
