LIMITATIONS
- Color stability may be affected by environmental conditions such as
immersion service, temperature, or chemical exposure.
- Colors may vary from batch
to batch. Therefore, use only product from same batch for an entire job.
- This
product is not UV color stable and will discolor when exposed to UV rays or some
indoor lighting such as sodium vapor lights.
- All new concrete must be cured for
at least 30 days prior to application. \
- It is advisable to place test patches
prior to undertaking underwater or water contaminated repairs to insure product
and surface compatibility.
- The temperature of the water may increase or decrease
the time for the material to cure, dependent on the temperature of the water.

values and not specifications.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT STORAGE
Store
Product #2708 Under Water Pourable Epoxy Crack and Joint Filler
at normal room temperature before using. Continuous storage should be between 60
and 90° F. Low temperatures or temperature fluctuations may cause
crystallization.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The most suitable surface preparation
would be a fine brush blast (shot blast) to remove all laitance and provide a
suitable profile. All dirt, foreign contaminants, oil and laitance must be
removed from within the expansion joint to assure a trouble free bond to the
substrate. However, this product can successfully be applied to damp, wet or
even underwater substrates.
MIXING
Product #2708 Under Water Pourable Epoxy Crack and Joint Filler
has a mix ratio of
two parts A to one part B by volume. Normally, the product comes supplied in
pre-measured kits. The most accurate way to measure mixing proportions would be
by weight (11.6 pounds part A to 5.65 pounds part B although volume ratios at 2:
1 can be utilized). We highly recommend that the kits not be broken down unless
suitable weighing equipment is available. After the two parts are combined, mix
well with slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer until the material
is thoroughly mixed and streak free. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of
the mixing container thoroughly when mixing. Water will not impede the cure
mechanism for this product. Improper mixing may result in product failure.
PRIMING
Primer is not necessary.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
The mixed
Product #2708 Under Water Pourable Epoxy Crack and Joint Filler
can be applied by pouring the mixed material directly into the crevice or
expansion joint to be repaired. Remove any excess material with a putty knife or
similar tool when not underwater. If applying the material underwater, then
remove any excess with a scraper type tool after is has partially set up and
tacked off. Because of the vastly differing types of applications possible for
this product, we recommend that a representative sample be placed and evaluated
prior to commencing any large job application.
When applying this material
underwater, make sure that the material displaces all water beneath the
application to assure contact with the substrate which will create a proper
bond. The density of the material is greater than that of water and should force
out the water when poured into the expansion joint. This product is not intended
for small type hairline cracks. When applying material in an expansion joint, a
suitable backer rod can be used provided it is not made of material that will
absorb water.
RECOAT OR TOPCOATING
This
Product #2708 Under Water Pourable Epoxy Crack and Joint Filler
can be applied in successive
applications. Topcoating with other products are normally not performed
underwater. Always remember that colder temperatures will require more cure time
for the product before recoating can commence.
CLEANUP
Use Xylene
FLOOR
CLEANING
Caution! Some cleaners and immersion in some fluids may affect the
color of the material installed. Test each cleaner or solution if color
stability is important and process tested.
RESTRICTIONS
Restrict the use of
the area to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the material is fully
cured (see technical data under full cure).
