Application

 

Bonding Skid-Resistant Overlays:

 

1

Repair delamination, potholes and cracks with PRO-POXY 2500.

2

Clean surface by shot blasting to remove all contaminants. Remove dust and debris by blowing off with oil-free compressed air.

3

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 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.

6

After initial cure of first course, remove excess aggregate. Do not open to traffic.

7

Apply second course of epoxy and aggregate. Remove excess aggregate. Allow to cure following the table below. Open to traffic.

Limitations

Not for use on exterior slabs on grade subject to freezing.

Do not thin with any solvents.

PRO-POXY TYPE III DOT is a vapor barrier after cure.

Minimum age of concrete must be 28 days before applying as an overlay.

Minimum age of concrete must be 5-7 days, depending on curing and drying conditions before applying as a mortar.

Minimum substrate and ambient temperature should be
55°F and rising by 10am.

Minimum epoxy temperature should be 65°F before
application.

Shelf Life - 2 years in original unopened container.

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

Component B - Corrosive

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.

Avoid skin contact.

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.
