Application

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water. Remove surface contaminants i.e. dust, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles and disintegrated materials.

Concrete
: Sandblast or use other approved mechanical means.
Steel: Sandblast to white metal finish.

 

MIXING

Pre-mix each component thoroughly. Place 1 part by volume of component A and 1 part by volume of component B into a clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 min. with low-speed drill (400-600 rpm) until uniformly blended. Mix only the quantity that can be used within its gel time.

 

TO APPLY

Place PRO-FLEX GEL in joints or cracks or use low pressure application equipment.

 

Limitations

Minimum substrate temperature is 40°F (5°C).

For best results, use between 65° and 85°F (18-29°C).

Do not thin. Solvents will prevent proper cure.

Material is a vapor barrier after cure.

Minimum age of concrete should be 28 days.

Not for sealing cracks under hydrostatic pressure.

Not to be used in moving cracks or expansion joints.

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.

Cautions

Component A - Irritant (prolonged contact with skin may cause severe burns; avoid eye contact.)

Component B - Corrosive (contact with skin may cause severe burns; avoid eye contact.)

Product is a strong 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. Use adequate ventilation.
