Compliances

ASTM-C-881: Types I, II*, IV & V*, Classes A, B & C, Grade 3 (*With exception of gel time)

Meets USDA specifications for use in food processing areas

D.O.T. listed

Passed ICC-ES AC 58 (Sec. 5.3.3), ASTM-E-1512 (Sec. 7.1 & 7.5) Elevated Temperature Creep Test

A 100% solids, solvent-free structural epoxy acrylate chemical anchor. Using the latest technology, PRO-POXY(TM) 400 has been engineered to gun at -15°F, set up quickly in damp and water-filled holes and attain high early strength. (Hand guns are recommended only for temperatures above 20°F. Pneumatic guns provide efficiency any time and are essential for product temperatures below 20°F.)

PRO-POXY(TM) 400 is an excellent, safe, all weather, high performance anchoring gel.

 

Features

Guns and performs to -15°F/-26°C

Sets up in water-filled holes

Allowed at close edge distances and shallow embedments

Bonds to smooth diamond core drilled holes

STYRENE FREE!

Meets performance requirements of ASTM-C-881, Types I, II*, IV & V*, Classes A, B & C, Grade 3 (*with exception of gel time)

Usage

Heavy duty anchoring of rebar, threaded rods and epoxy-coated smooth dowels in all concrete, brick or stone masonry.

Best choice for structural bonding of heavy loads.

Grouting bolts, dowels, pins, vertical and overhead, where extremely rapid setting and fast turn-around times are needed.

Performs in damp or water-filled holes.

 

Coverage

275 ml cartridge yields 9 oz. or 16 cu. in.

750 ml x 75 ml cartridge yields 28 oz. or 50 cu. in.

Application

5 OZ. CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove screw-top lid and end plug.

2. Screw static mixer onto cartridge.

3. Twist-lock dispenser onto cartridge with thumbscrew in fully opened position.

4. Extrude adhesive by twisting thumbscrew clockwise until uniform color is achieved. Dispense under constant uniform pressure. If dispensing is altered, re-establish uniform color before continuing.

 

28 OZ. CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove D plugs from small end of cartridge.

2. Slide retaining nut over static mixer. Secure static mixer to cartridge by screwing retaining nut onto cartridge.

3. Place assembled cartridge into a Unitex pneumatic or hand gun.

4. Extrude material until uniform color is achieved. Dispense under constant uniform pressure. If dispensing is altered, re-establish uniform color prior to continuing. When using a hand gun, release pressure from gun by pressing thumb button at every pause in dispensing. Re-establish uniform color prior to continuing.

 

ANCHORING BOLTS, DOWELS AND PINS

 

Step 1.

 

Step 2.

 

Step 3.

 

Step 4.

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 bottom up.

Step 4. Static mixer should be placed in back of hole. Fill hole while pulling static mixer out, using constant, uniform pressure, filling hole approximately half full. Rotate the bolt as it is inserted to the back of the hole. Annular space should not exceed 1/8 in. (3.2 mm). Consult tables below for embedment depths and loads.

Limitations

Concrete or masonry surface must be frost-free.

Do not thin. Solvents will prevent proper cure.

Minimum age of concrete must be 3-7 days, depending on curing and drying conditions.

Shelf Life: 12 months in original unopened container at 72°F/22°C

Storage Conditions: Store at 40-80°F/5-27°C

Cleanup

Collect with absorbant material. Flush area with water. Dispose of in accordance with local disposal regulations. Uncured material can be removed with Unitex CITRUS CLEANER or other approved solvent. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.

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

Irritant to skin and eyes.

Use of safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves are recommended.

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

1 ASTM-C-881, Type IV: Load-bearing specifications. Consult UNITEX for instructions, details, or independent test reports.

2. The tabulated shear and tension values are for anchors installed in normal weight concrete having reached the designated ultimate compressive strength at the time of installation. Linear interpolation may be used for concrete strengths between those listed.

3. Allowable loads must be the lesser of the allowable steel strength and the allowable bond strength. Typically, allowable bond strength is equal to the ultimate bond strength divided by the safety factor of 4.

4. Anchors installed at the minimum edge distance must have the tabulated allowable tension load multiplied by a 0.65 reduction factor. Linear interpolation of allowable loads may be used for anchors installed at a distance between critical and minimum edge distances.

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.
by Shawn Merrithew Bridge closed again, repairs continue ... She said the polymer should enhance the 107-year-old bridge's lifespan. Developed by Unitex Chemicals, the epoxy polymer overlay is more flexible and more corrosion-resistant than asphalt, says Unitex president John Grissinger...
by Jerry Byrne The spread defense: Crews save significant time and maintenance costs with overlay in Kansas The last time Wildcat Construction Co. repaired the I-135 bridge in Wichita, Kan., more than 20 years ago, it took nearly two years, and lanes were closed or diverted both day and nigh
By Rebekah Rosenfeld Kansas bridge polymer surface project is largest in United States. When it came time to resurface the concrete on a portion of one of I-135’s expressways in Wichita, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) decided to repair the 1.76 million square feet using epoxy.
