SpecPoxy 2000
ASTM 881 compliant hi-mod, medium viscosity epoxy
SpecPoxy 2000 is a two-component, multi-purpose, high-modulus, moisture-tolerant epoxy bonding adhesive that meets ASTM C881 requirements for Types I, II, IV & V, grade 2, classes B&C. This medium-viscosity, 100% solids, solvent-free adhesive is designed for a range of uses including bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete, anchoring bolts, dowels, and reinforcing steel, and gravity filling cracks in concrete.
- VOC content = 0 grams per liter, highlighting its environmental safety.
- Effective for bonding various materials and performing structural repairs.
- Can be used for anchoring and crack filling applications.
- Medium viscosity allows for easy application and excellent penetration.
Application
Surface Preparation
- Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean surfaces to remove all contaminants. Use abrasive methods for best results.
- Drilled Holes and Surface Preparation: Prepare drilled holes and surfaces according to detailed instructions, ensuring cleanliness and proper surface profile.
Mixing and Application
- Mixing Instructions: Mix components A and B at a 1:1 ratio for three minutes until uniform. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray method at approximately 80 sq ft per gallon.
- Bonding: Apply to substrates and place fresh concrete while SpecPoxy 2000 is tacky. If not tacky, clean the surface and reapply as needed.
- Anchoring: Fill the hole from bottom-up, insert the bolt or dowel while turning to avoid air gaps.
- Epoxy Mortar for Patching: Mix SpecPoxy 2000 with clean, dry silica sand in a 1:4 ratio, first applying a prime coat of neat epoxy.
Packaging
- Available in 1 gallon units, 2 gallon units, 10 gallon units, and 22 oz. dual cartridges.
Shelf Life
- Store in original, tightly closed containers in a clean, dry area. Properly stored, the shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture.
