SpecPatch “Pipe Patch”

Fast-setting patching for utility structures

SpecPatch  gives crews the working time they need to place and finish repairs, while still setting fast enough to keep projects moving. It’s ideal for vertical and overhead patching and offers a more workable alternative to traditional hydraulic cement. Available in a variety of formulas, including 5-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute set times.

Used for:

  • Manhole repair
  • Pipe patching
  • Vertical surface repairs
  • Fast-return projects

SpecPlug / Super SpecPlug

Hydraulic Cement

Designed for emergency leak stopping, SpecPlug products are used to seal flowing water through cracks, joints, and voids in concrete and masonry.

Specplug expands as it sets to create a tight, watertight seal even under pressure.

Key advantages:

  • Sets in 3–5 minutes
  • Can be dry-packed or mixed
  • Expands for a tight seal
  • NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water

Use it for:

  • Active leaks in manholes and pipes
  • Wet-condition repairs
  • Water and wastewater structuresHydrali

SpecPoxy 3000 

High-strength anchoring in wet or dry conditions

SpecPoxy 3000 is designed for anchoring steel into concrete where strength and reliability matter. Moisture-insensitive and non-sag, it performs in real-world underground conditions.

Used for:

  • Anchoring rebar and dowels
  • Installing manhole steps
  • Vertical and overhead anchoring
  • Concrete, block, brick, and stone

Performance features:

  • High modulus structural epoxy
  • ASTM 881 compliant
  • Low odor, zero VOC
  • Strong bond in damp environments

Max A Patch ACP

Reliable asphalt repair for utility cuts

Max A Patch ACP is built for utility crews who need fast, durable asphalt repairs after underground work.

Ideal for:

  • Utility trench repairs
  • Emergency road patching
  • Municipal and DOT maintenance
  • Gas and electric crews

Max A Seal Asphalt Paint

Protect underground infrastructure from corrosion

Max A Seal Asphalt Paint provides a protective barrier for steel and concrete surfaces exposed to harsh underground environments.

Used on:

  • Steel and concrete pipe
  • Manholes and precast structures
  • Culverts and tanks
  • Valves and embedded steel

Key benefit:
NSF-approved for potable water-related applications.

Rebuild and restore critical structures

SpecChem grouts and mortars are used to repair, fill, and restore underground utility structures where strength and durability are required.

Applications include:

  • Structural repair
  • Void filling
  • Manhole rehabilitation
  • Infrastructure restoration

SpecPoxy 500 & 1000

Low-viscosity epoxies for crack injection and structural bonding

SpecPoxy 500 and SpecPoxy 1000 are low-viscosity epoxy systems designed for crack injection and structural bonding. They penetrate deep into concrete cracks to seal and restore structural integrity, making them ideal for repair situations where patching alone isn’t enough.

Ideal for:

  • Concrete crack injection (gravity feed or pressure)
  • Structural crack repair
  • Manholes and underground structures
  • Concrete bonding applications
