SpecPoxy 3000
ASTM 881 compliant hi-mod, gel viscosity epoxy
SpecPoxy 3000 is a two-component, moisture-insensitive, high-modulus structural epoxy bonding gel. This product is 100% solids, solvent-free, low-odor, high-strength, and non-sag, suitable for anchoring and bonding in construction applications. Its VOC content is 0 grams per liter, emphasizing its environmental safety.
- Extended working time, allowing for careful application.
- Pick-proof sealant, ideal for security-sensitive environments.
- ASTM 881 compliant, high-modulus, gel-viscosity epoxy.
- Suitable for a variety of substrates, providing flexibility in application.
Application
- Anchoring bolts, dowels, and reinforcing steel.
- Vertical and overhead structural bonding and patching.
- Sealing cracks and setting injection ports.
- Suitable for use in concrete, block, brick, or stone.
Mixing Instructions
- Mix equal volumes of Part A and Part B for three minutes using a low-speed drill.
- Air, material, and surface temperatures must be at least 60°F prior to mixing and installation.
Surface Preparation
- Surfaces must be clean and structurally sound.
- Remove contaminants by sandblasting, mechanical abrasion, or hydroblasting.
- Ensure drilled holes are prepared by brushing and blowing out with oil-free compressed air.
Application Techniques
- Bonding: Apply SpecPoxy 3000 neatly into the substrate and ensure the glue line does not exceed 1/8″.
- Anchoring: For anchoring applications, ensure holes are drilled to the appropriate depth and diameter, and filled from the bottom up to avoid air pockets.
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. Shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
