See Limitations for required minimum product and application temperatures. Mechanically mix component A with component B 1:1 by volume with Jiffy type mixer and low-speed variable drill at 300 rpm for a minimum of 3 minutes. Mix only the quantity that can be used within its gel time.
|
|
4
|
Apply neat PRO-POXY(TM) Type III DOT by notched squeegee at the specified rate.
|
|
5
|
Broadcast select aggregate to refusal. The aggregate should be angular grain silica sand or basalt having less than 0.2% moisture and free of dirt, clay, etc. The silica sand or basalt should have a minimum Mohs scale hardness of 7 unless otherwise approved.

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.
