DOSAGE

The required amount depends on the number of cracks and capillary tubes on the substrate surface. This can be estimated by calculating the depth of deterioration.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Cleaning: Concrete surfaces, expansion joints, and cracks should be cleared using suitable mechanical methods to remove all loose and unstable parts and reach the soundest part of the concrete substrate. All surfaces must be washed with a water jet and be clean and free of any grease, oil, loose particles, and other contaminants.

Curing & Moisture: Concrete sections must be cured for at least 28 days before primer application. The moisture content within the concrete must be less than 4%.

Strength: The minimum required compressive strength is 25 N/mm², and the minimum pull-off strength must be 1.5 N/mm².

 SURFACE PREPARATION SHALL NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

• At temperatures below 15 ºC
• When the relative humidity is greater than 80%
• When the surface temperature is less than 3 ºC above the dew point

APPLICATION METHOD

Mixing: ABAPENODUR is supplied in two separate packages (A and B). Always mix the entire contents of both packages. Add component B to component A and mix thoroughly with a low-speed mixer for three minutes, ensuring the material on the sides of the container is well mixed.

Application: The mixture can be applied immediately after mixing, as there is no induction time required. The mixture must be applied within the specified Pot Life. Application can be done using a regular or airless spray, roller, or brush.

Temperature Control: The exothermic hardening reaction of epoxy can cause the temperature of the mixture in the bucket to rise, reducing its workability. To prevent this, pour the mixture into shallow containers or begin application immediately after mixing

FIELD OF APPLICATION

• Increased strength of weak and cracked concrete sections
• Rehabilitation and repair of cracks in concrete sections
• Preparation and rendering of the mechanical strength of concrete surfaces before repair, including priming, grouting, and specialized layers of flooring (epoxy type)

ADVANTAGES

• Increases the strength of the concrete substrate.
• High penetration power into substrate sections.
• Protects concrete against the penetration of water, acidic and alkaline chemicals, and fuels (hydrocarbons).
• Excellent adhesion to concrete surfaces, cavities, and cracks.
• Prevents deterioration and increases the lifespan of concrete substrates.
• Creates a suitable surface for bonding and improves inter-layer adhesion for polymer coatings.
• Suitable for application on damp surfaces
