SpecPoxy 1000 
ASTM 881 compliant hi-mod low viscosity epoxy bonding adhesive
SpecPoxy 1000 is a two-component, low-viscosity, moisture-insensitive, high modulus, structural epoxy bonding adhesive and crack injection resin. This product is 100% solids, solvent-free, low odor, and high strength, ideal for bonding concrete, steel, and wood, gravity feed or pressure injection crack repairs, and anchoring bolts, dowels, and reinforcing bars.
- VOC content of 0 grams per liter.
- Suitable for bonding various materials and performing structural repairs.
- Low viscosity ensures deep penetration for crack repairs.
- ASTM C881 compliant for Types I, II, IV, and V, Grade 1, Classes B & C.
Application
Surface Preparation
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are structurally sound, clean, and free of oil, grease, dirt, laitance, curing compounds, and foreign matter.
- Surface Profile: Achieve a surface profile of CSP 3 or greater through sandblasting or mechanical abrasion. Surfaces must be dry prior to application.
- Crack and Joint Preparation: For pressure injection repairs, prepare the surface adjacent to cracks to expose clean, sound concrete.
Mixing and Application
- Mixing Instructions:
- Ensure all materials and surfaces are at least 40°F. Precondition materials to 75°F for easier mixing and application.
- Mix two parts of component A with one part of component B by volume for three minutes using a low-speed drill and Jiffy mixer.
- Crack Injection: Attach injection ports spaced 6” to 24” apart depending on crack width and concrete thickness, using SpecPoxy 3000 FS. Seal the crack surface with SpecPoxy 3000 FS, overlapping the crack by about 1-1/2” on both sides. Inject SpecPoxy 1000 using pressurized equipment or cartridges.
- Bonding: Apply SpecPoxy 1000 at a rate of 80 sq ft per gallon (about 20 mils thickness), ensuring the material is worked into the substrate. Place fresh concrete while SpecPoxy 1000 is still tacky. If not tacky, clean the surface and apply another coat of SpecPoxy 1000.
- Curing: SpecPoxy 1000 typically reaches initial cure in 24 hours and final cure in 7 days, achieving a compressive strength of 11,500 psi.
Packaging
- Available in 1 gallon units, 3 gallon units, 15 gallon units, and 15 oz. dual cartridges.
Shelf Life
- Store in original, tightly closed containers in a clean, dry area. Do not allow accumulation of water, dirt, or other contaminants. Shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture.
