APPLICATION
Surface Preparation...All surfaces to be bonded must be free of standing water and completely clean of dirt, rust, curing compounds, grease, oil, paint, waxes, and other materials that would prevent an optimal bond. Concrete should be prepared by mechanical abrading or grit blasting to a sound and profiled surface. Vacuum or blow dust away with oil-free compressed air. Mechanically abrade metal base plates to a bright metal finish. Exposed steel surfaces should be sandblasted and vacuumed clean; if not possible, degrease the surface and use sandpaper or a wire brush to reveal continuous, bright metal.
Mixing … Condition all components to 60º F to 85 ºF (16º C to 29º C) for 24 hours prior to use. Use the double-boiler method or store material in a warm room prior to application. Premix each component. Mechanically mix at slow speed (600-900 rpm) using a drill and Jiffy® Blade or drum mixer for three minutes or until completely mixed while scraping the sides to ensure complete blending of components. Avoid air entrapment. Scrape the sides of the container to ensure complete blending of components. Mix only the amount of epoxy that can be applied within the product's pot life. Pot life will decrease as the ambient temperature and/or mass size increases.
Crack Injecting ...Epoxy can be gravity fed into horizontal cracks that are small (1/4" [6.35 mm] maximum width) and have limited depth. For large injection projects, self-proportioning, mixing, and pressure injection equipment is recommended. For small injection projects, REZI-WELD (IP) or REZI-WELD LV STATE may be suitable.
Interior, Non-Skid Topping … Apply at a rate of 100 ft.²/gal. (2.66 m²/L). Then apply layer of sand or grit over epoxy and allow to set. Blow excess sand away. NOTE: REZI-WELD LV IS NOT TO BE USED AS A FINISHED FLOOR COVERING OR PROTECTIVE TREATMENT. Follow standard epoxy flooring system requirements, including water vapor transmission rates.
Aggregates for Epoxy-Resin Mortars …Combine clean, dry aggregates with freshly mixed epoxy in a ratio of 1 part epoxy to 1 to 4 parts, by volume, of graded aggregates (not to exceed six parts sand). Patch thickness should not exceed 4" (101.6 mm) per lift.
Cleanup …Clean tools and equipment immediately with toluene or xylene. Clean equipment away from all ignition sources and avoid breathing vapors or allowing epoxy-containing solvent to contact skin. Should this material come in contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water, not solvent.
COVERAGE
One gallon (3.8 L) neat covers approximately 85-100 ft.² (2.09-2.66 m²/L) depending on the surface porosity and end use application. One gallon (3.8 L) mixed 1:1 with dry aggregate yields approximately 350 in.³ (5735 cm²) of grout.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT DILUTE. Mix complete units only. Not recommended for use when the concrete and air temperature is below 40º F (4º C) or will drop below 40º F (4º C) within 24 hours. Do not use to seal cracks under hydrostatic pressure. Do not warm epoxy over direct heat. REZI-WELD LV should not be used as an exterior coating, as it is not color stable to ultraviolet light (sun).
This epoxy is corrosive. Personal protective equipment is necessary. Unused epoxy will generate excessive heat, especially in large quantities. Unused epoxy should be mixed with dry sand in the container to help lower heat. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.
