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
Mixing Instructions:
- Ensure air, material, and surface temperatures are above 40°F.
- Precondition material to 75°F for easier mixing and application.
- Mix two parts of component A to one part of component B by volume using a low-speed drill and Jiffy mixer for three minutes.
Surface Preparation:
- Surfaces must be clean and structurally sound, free from oil, grease, dirt, laitance, curing compounds, and other foreign matter.
- For pressure injection repairs, prepare surfaces adjacent to cracks to expose clean, sound concrete.
Crack Injection:
- Use SpecPoxy 3000 FS to fasten injection ports and seal cracks.
- Space injection ports approximately 6” to 24” apart, depending on the crack width and concrete thickness.
Bonding:
- Apply SpecPoxy 1000 neat into the substrate using a brush or broom at 80 sq ft per gallon or approximately 20 mils in thickness. Ensure surface is tacky before placing fresh concrete; if not, reapply SpecPoxy 1000 after cleaning the surface.
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.
