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.

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

Cleanup

EQUIPMENT: Uncured material can be removed with Unitex CITRI-CLEAN 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.

Cautions

Allowable Anchor Spacing and Edge Distance^*

Allowable Shear Values for Threaded Rod in 2000 psi Concrete^*

Cure Times for Adhesive Anchors^*

*1. F indicates PRO-POXY 300 FAST is recommended.

2. Cure Time is time required before epoxy reaches ultimate strength. Minimum Cure Time is minimum time required before the design or allowable load may be applied.

3. Anchors are to be undisturbed during the minimum cure time.

Edge Distance for Tension Values for Anchors in Concrete^*

*1. The listed values are the minimum distances required to obtain the load values in the tables above. D = anchor diameter. When adjacent anchors are different sizes or embedments, use the largest value for D.

2. The listed values are the minimum distances at which the anchor can be installed when load values are adjusted in accordance with reduction factor.

Shear and Tension Values for Reinforcing Steel^*

Ultimate Tension Values for Threaded Rod in Concrete^*

Shear and Tension Values for Smooth Dowels^*

*1. 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.

2. Spacing and edge distance shall be in accordance with appropriate table.

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

4. Allowable loads may be increased by 33-1/3% for short term loading due to earthquakes or wind.

5. Pro-Poxy 300 Fast is recognized for installation in water-filled or moist holes, for use in locations subject to severe exterior weathering conditions and for resisting tension and shear loads due to earthquake and wind.
