SpecPoxy Mortar
Epoxy mortar repair kit
SpecPoxy Mortar is a three-component, 100% solids, multi-purpose epoxy mortar designed for industrial and commercial applications such as warehouse floors, ramps, loading docks, and rebuilding joint nosings. This system combines a high-quality epoxy binder with an engineered blend of graded aggregates to provide superior trowel-ability, compressive and tensile strength, impact, and chemical resistance.
- Superior bond, compressive, and flexural strength compared to cementitious systems.
- Long pot life, suitable for applications between 60-90°F.
- Ideal for high-traffic areas like loading docks and ramps.
- Pre-measured proportions ensure easy installation.
- Dries to a light gray mortar color.
- Trowel-able consistency tailored for horizontal applications.
- Exceptional abrasion, chemical, and impact resistance.
- Moisture insensitive and stain resistant.
- Solvent-free and VOC compliant.
- Supports foot traffic in 12 hours; vehicle traffic in 24 hours.
- USDA accepted for indirect food contact.
Application
Surface Preparation
- Cleaning the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dirt, laitance, curing compounds, and other foreign materials. Mechanical abrasion or sandblasting is recommended to remove contaminants and create a suitable bonding profile.
Mixing and Application
- Mixing Instructions: Ensure air, material, and surface temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Precondition materials to approximately 70°F for easier mixing. Mix components separately before combining. Mix one part of component A with one part of component B by volume for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add part C (aggregate) to the mixed components, ensuring all aggregates are thoroughly coated.
- Placing the Mortar: Apply the mixed epoxy mortar immediately, or within 30-40 minutes, to the prepared surface using a trowel or rake. Use SpecChem Solvent 100 as a finishing aid for a smooth finish. For increased texture and improved traction, broadcast additional dry sand into the wet mortar immediately after application.
Coverage and Curing
- Coverage: A 1/2 cubic foot unit at a 1/4” thickness covers approximately 24 sq-ft.
- Curing: SpecPoxy Mortar cures to a light gray mortar color, ready for foot traffic in 12 hours and vehicle traffic in 24 hours.
Cleaning
- Tool Cleaning: Clean tools and equipment immediately with an appropriate solvent before the material hardens.
Packaging
- 1/2 cubic foot unit: Component A (1/2 gal), Component B (1/2 gal), Component C (1-50 lb. bag)
- 1.0 cubic foot unit: Component A (1 gal), Component B (1 gal), Component C (2–50 lb. bags)
Shelf Life
