Features
  • Economical – more cost-effective than methacrylates
  • Safest – nonflammable, nonexplosive
  • Best performance – moisture insensitive, ultra low viscosity, high bond strength, meets ASTM-C-881 specifications for load-bearing applications
  • Extended shelf life
Description
PRO-POXY 50-1 is an extremely low viscosity, solvent-free, two-component epoxy healer-sealer and primar designed both for the protection of new concrete and for the preservation of partially deteriorated concrete to extend its service life.

PRO-POXY 50-1 is thin enough to completely penetrate cracks, yet has sufficient rheology to leave no starved gluelines. It meets ASTM-C-881 Types I, II, IV & V, Grade 1, Classes B & C for load-bearing applications. PRO-POXY 50-1 is an excellent alternative to dangerous methacrylates.

Usage
  • Healing sealing deteriorated overlays on bridges and elevated slabs
  • Primer for all overlays

Coverage

Tined concrete:*
65-100 sq. ft./gal. or
6.0-9.3 sq. m./L.
Steel-troweled concrete:*
150-200 sq. ft./gal. or
13.9-18.6 sq. m./L.
*Coverage rate depends on porosity of concrete.

Limitations
  • Store at 50-80°F (10-27°C).
  • Condition at 65-80°F (18-27°C).
  • Minimum application temperature is 40°F (4°C).
  • Shelf life – 2 years in original unopened containers.
  • Gel time – Approx. 40 min. in 60 g. mass at 72°F (22°C).
  • Curing time (at substrate temperature of 77°F (22°C) – Initial cure, approx. 1 hr; open to traffic, approx. 4 hrs.
  • Maximum of one flood-coat application.
  • Do not apply over curing compounds.
  • Apply to dry and fully cured concrete only.
  • Compressed air equipment must have ab oil/air separator.
  • Not for exterior slab on grade in freezing climates.
Cleanup
  • Ventilate area
  • Confine spills
  • Collect with absorbent material
  • Flush area with water
  • Uncured PRO-POXY 50-1 can be removed with Unitex CITRI-CLEAN
  • Cured PRO-POXY 50-1 can only be removed mechanically

Application

 
STEP 1. Patch deteriorated concrete with Unitex PRO-POXY 2500.

 
  STEP 2. Clean surface by abrasive blasting.

 
  STEP 3. Mechanically mix component A with component B at 2:1 by volume with a Jiffy type mixer and variable speed drill at 300 rpm for a minimum of 3 minutes.

 
  STEP 4. Immediately flood-coat PRO-POXY 50-1 onto concrete.

 
  STEP 5. Distribute evenly and work into concrete for minimum of 5 minutes for maximum penetration. Keep ponding PRO-POXY 50-1 into cracks until refusal. Remove all excess with a squeegee on smooth surfaces and a broom on textured surfaces.
Surface should appear damp but with no film buildup or ponding prior to broaqdcast or subsequent overlay.

NOTE: If used as a primer, proceed with overlay application while PRO-POXY 50-1 remains tacky.


 
  STEP 6. For healer-sealer application, broadcast oven-dried silica sand to refusal. After initial cure, remove excess sand.

First Aid

CURED EPOXY RESINS ARE INNOCUOUS.

For uncured PRO-POXY 50-1:
SKIN CONTACT
  • Remove contaminated clothing.
  • Remove product with a dry cloth or paper towel.
  • Wash skin area thoroughly with soap and water. (Solvents should not be used because they carry product into the skin.)
EYE CONTACT
  • Flush eyes immediately with wate for a minimum of 15 minutes.
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
  • Seek fresh air and/or medical attention.
 
Cautions
  • Component A – Irritant
  • Component B – Corrosive
  • Product is a 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.
