Hard to Touch Joint Sealed in 1 Hour
Epoxy.com Product #2011
DESCRIPTION
Product #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel is a two component 100% solids
polymer system designed for applications where a resilient joint material is
needed. The two component material (standard) is supplied with a gray component
and a clear component. Product #2011 was developed for plural
component pump equipment, and is available in cartridge units.
RECOMMENDED USES
Product #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel is recommended for concrete/cement expansion joints in general industry.
LIMITATIONS
Not recommended for applications for all acids and chemicals.
PRIMER
None required
TOPCOAT
None required. Many epoxies and urethane are compatible.
LIMITATIONS
- Color stability may be affected by environmental conditions such
as high humidity, chemical exposure or exposure to certain types of light such
as sodium vapor lighting.
- Colors may vary from batch to batch.
- Gray color is
not from our standard color chart.
- Substrate temperature must be 5°F above dew
point.
- All new concrete must be cured for at least 30 days prior to application
- This product must be mixed well.
- Apply sample installation at an off-sight
location before using material in a commercial setting to become familiar with
material limitations.
- Product is not UV color stable.
- This product was developed for plural component mixing equipment so
you may want to purchase in binary tube sets, unless you have that kind
of equipment.
- Test data based on neat resin.
- Physical properties are typical
values and not specifications.
MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT STORAGE
Store
Product #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel in an area so as to bring the material
to normal room temperature before using. Continuous storage should be between
50-90°F. Avoid low temperatures and large temperature fluctuations in storage as
these conditions could cause possible product crystallization.
SURFACE
PREPARATION
All dirt, oil, dust, foreign contaminants and laitance must be
removed to assure a trouble free bond to the substrate. We recommend that all
loose concrete, previous joint compound or other foreign material be removed to
leave a clean sound joint at least 2� deep. For best results, edges should be sawcut and a one inch backer rod should be placed into the joint leaving
approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the top of the backer rod to the top of the
joint.
PRIMER
No primer is necessary. This material is self priming.
However, any suitable primer can be used.
PRODUCT MIXING
It is important
that tProduct #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel be mixed well. Improper mixing will cause an incomplete cure
and soft spots in the joint. Mix one part by volume part A to one part by volume
of part B. This product has a very short pot life of 1-2 minutes and should be
applied using plural component pump equipment using a 3/8� diameter 40 element
tip. ALWAYS dispense a small beginning portion onto cardboard to prevent
non-mixed material from entering joint. Improper mixing may result in product
failure.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Discard the unmixed portion of mixed
Product #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel
at the start of each application. This product has a very short pot life of 1-2
minutes and should be applied using plural component pump equipment or dispensed
with a dual cartridge caulking gun using a 3/8" diameter 40 element tip.
The product in dual cartridges are available from Epoxy.com. Make
sure the material applied is uniform in color which would indicate the product
is mixed well. If marbling occurs, review your application equipment to
ascertain if it will correctly mix the material.
Apply the mixed
Product #2011 Low Modulus Fast Set Epoxy Gel by
pumping the mixed material into the expansion joint to be repaired. Remove any
excess material with a putty knife or similar tool after the material has set up
enough to cut through with a razor scraping toll. Maintain temperatures within
the recommended ranges during the application and curing process. When
temperatures are lower, allow more time for this material to cure.
RECOAT OR
TOPCOATING
No recoating or topcoating is necessary. However, if you opt to
topcoat the applied joint compound, allow it to cure before topcoating. It is
not necessary to prime over the joint compound prior to topcoating the joint
compound. Many epoxies and urethanes can be used. In some instances, especially
when excessive expansion joint movement is involved, topcoats may chip or crack.
However, most epoxy or topcoat products will adhere to the joint compound very
well.
CLEANUP
Use xylene.
FLOOR CLEANING
Caution! Some cleaners may
affect the color of the floor installed. Test each cleaner in a small area,
utilizing your cleaning technique. If no ill effects are noted, you can continue
to clean with a product and process tested.
RESTRICTIONS
Restrict the use of
the floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully
cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the floor remain
dry for the full cure cycle.
