Directions
CARTRIDGES:
PRO-POXY 300 and 300 FAST may be easily dispensed from cartridges, eliminating mixing and measuring. Remove D plug from small end of cartridge. Slide retaining nut over static mixer. Secure static mixer to cartridge by screwing retaining nut onto cartridge. For easier gunning, the static mixer tip may be cut off to the third notch. Place assembled cartridge into approved pneumatic or hand gun. Extrude epoxy until a uniform gray color is achieved. Do not use epoxy with color streaks. Dispense under a constant uniform pressure. If dispensing is altered, re-establish a uniform gray color before continuing. When using a hand gun, release pressure from gun by pressing thumb button at every pause in dispensing. Otherwise, re-establish uniform gray color before continuing.
BULK PACKAGED COMPONENTS
Automatic Dispensing Machines: Only use UNITEX approved positive displacement dispensing machines.
Hand Mixing: Premeasure equal parts by volume of component A and component B in two separate containers. Use a third container to mix the two components together. Do not use one tapered container such as a paper cup, filling it half full of A and half full of B. The correct ratio (1:1) cannot be achieved due to tapered feature of cup. Thoroughly mix for 3 minutes, scraping sides of container until uniform grey color is achieved. Mix only the amount of epoxy that can be used within its gel time. Spread mixed epoxy out thin on a hawk to extend gel time. If you pile it up, the gel time will be shortened due to the greater mass and exotherm.

Application
TO ANCHOR BOLTS, DOWELS & PINS
Refer to tables below for annular space, embedment depth and edge distances.
|
Step 1.
Drill holes to proper diameter and length.
|
|
Step 2.
Clean holes with a nylon brush.
|
|
Step 3.
Blow concrete dust from hole with oil-free compressed air from back forward.
|
|
Step 4.
After uniform color is achieved, static mixer should be placed in back of hole. Start extruding epoxy while pulling static mixer out, filling hole half full. Rotate the bolt slightly as it is inserted to the back of the hole.

TO SET PORTS & CAPSEAL CRACKS
Select PRO-POXY 300 or 300 FAST according to the desired gel time. PRO-POXY 300 provides longer working time. PRO-POXY 300 FAST should be selected for cooler weather applications and when faster setup of capseal is desired. Dab a small amount of epoxy to the back of a port and carefully center port over the crack. A centering nail may be helpful. Do not apply so much epoxy to back of port that it could close off the hole. After setting port, carefully butter the shoulder of the port and extend epoxy to 1/2 in./1.28 cm on either side of the crack. Continue placement of epoxy by buttering crack between ports. To avoid leaks under pressure, the epoxy should be applied to approx. 1/4 in./.64 cm. thick. Do not place epoxy once it starts curing or getting hot or sticky, as this will compromise capseal and cause leaking. Once epoxy is placed, it should not be disturbed during the curing process. Cure time depends on air temperature and mass of epoxy. Normally a minimum of 2 hrs. is necessary for PRO-POXY 300 FAST and 4-6 hrs. for PRO-POXY 300 to fully cure at 73°F ?°/23°C. Capseal must be fully cured prior to injection repair of crack.
TO BOND IRREGULAR SURFACES
Apply the mixed PRO-POXY 300 or 300 FAST to the prepared substrates. Work into the substrate for positive adhesion. Secure or clamp the bonded surfaces firmly into place until the epoxy has cured. Glue line should not exceed 1/8 in./.32 cm.
|
Limitations
Minimum substrate temperature is 40°F/5°C
Do not thin. Solvents will prevent proper cure.
Use dried aggregate only.
Minimum age of concrete must be 3-7 days, depending on curing and drying conditions.
PRO-POXY 300 and 300 FAST are vapor barriers when cured.
Do not allow mixed epoxy to reside in static mixing head or mixer for more than 5 minutes or gelation and blockage may result.
|
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.
