SUPERSTICK #580

HI-MOD MULTI-PURPOSE EPOXY GROUTING/BONDING ADHESIVE

Pourable Grade Available in Two Types: Standard and LPL (Extended Working Time)

DESCRIPTION

580 HI-Mod Multipurpose Pourable Epoxy a unique two-component, easy one-to-one mixing ratio, for structural repairs, usable in a moisture-tolerant environment.

Designed for a multiple of uses. A Standard Set for the rapid strength development, an LPL version with extended working time for hot weather applications, spraying, and placement of a Thin Set epoxy mortar skim coat for protection of concrete surfaces.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

•   Convenient easy to use 1:1 by volume
•   Light gray, easy paint-like creamy consistency with non-settling type pigments for easy brushability and spraying.
•   Standard Type develops fast-strength to minimize downtime, low temperature cures as low as 40°F (4.4°C).
•   LPL Type with extended working time for applications in warm and hot environments, with extended working
• time for spray operations and placement of epoxy mortar/grouts.
•   Tolerant to moisture before, during, and after cure.
•   Excellent for use as thin-set resurfacer/mortar and grouting applications.
•   High strength bonding adhesive for most structural materials.
•   Good chemical resistance for long-term protection.
•   Excellent abrasion resistance with selected granules for long-term wear.

WHERE TO USE HI-MOD MULTI-PURPOSE EPOXY GROUTING/BONDING ADHESIVE

•   LPL and Standard Grades for thin-set resurfacer/mortar and grout applications.
•   HI-Build Epoxy Corrosive resistant protective coating.
•   Non-sag mortar for vertical /overhead repair.
•   Low maintenance, skid resistant/abrasive adhesive coating for parking, loading decks and industrial floors.
•   High Strength grouting of bolts, dowels, rebar, pins, etc.
•   Waterproofing Membrane between Asphalt Overlay and Concrete
•   Structural adhesive for bonding fresh concrete and hardened to hardened concrete.
•   Gravity feeding for grouting horizontal cracks in structural concrete.
•   High-strength epoxy mortar for base plate grouting of machinery.

HOW TO USE HI-MOD MULTI-PURPOSE EPOXY ADHESIVE

Surface Preparation
Concrete – All surfaces must be prepared to a structurally dense surface to exposed coarse aggregate to reveal an open texture surface by shotblasting, Ultra-High Pressure Water Blasting (min. 5000 psi) or other mechanical means. Remove weak, contaminated deteriorated concrete, asphalt materials, oils, dirt, rubber, curing compounds, paint, carbonation, laitance, and other potentially detrimental materials by shotblasting, or ultra-high pressure water blasting. Surface preparation by bush hammering, grinding, and milling can create minute fractures or micro cracking in the substrate, which may require re-shotblasting to a structurally dense surface.

Steel – Steel surfaces should be cleaned and prepared by sandblasting to conform to SSPC-SP10 Specification with a 4 mil (0.1mm) minimum anchor profile. If flash rust appears, the surface must be re- blasted to obtain minimum anchor profile.

Mixing
For best results, condition the components prior to mixing from 65° to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Premix Component B to a homogenous consistency. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component A and Component B into a clean container with flat wall and bottom. Mix thoroughly for a minimum of three minutes using a low speed drill (600 rpm) and a mixing paddle (e.g. a Jiffy® and/or Plunge MixerTM). Keep the paddle below the surface material to avoid entrapment of air. Proper mixing may take 3 to 5 minutes. Thorough mixing of both components is important to obtain optimum results. Carefully scrape the sides and bottom to ensure thorough mixing. Mix until a uniform gray color is achieved. Mix only the amount of material that can be used before the pot life expires.

APPLICATION

For All Applications: The user must determine working time for his project versus the requirement for fast strength development.

WHEN USING 580 OR 580LPL AS A BONDING AGENT

The freshly mixed concrete must be placed while the adhesive is tacky. If the epoxy bond coat has reached a tack free stage prior to placement of the freshly mixed concrete, a 2nd coat of the bonding epoxy must be applied immediately prior to the placement of the freshly mixed concrete. If more than 5 hours elapses, the semi or cured epoxy must be brush blasted to provide a suitable bondable surface for the 2nd coat of epoxy.

HI-Mod Multi-Purpose Standard Set provides fast strength development with limited working time in the container. Every 10 degree rise above 75°F will approximately reduce the working time in half. Consider for applications that require rapid strength developments, for use in cooler temperatures and/or smaller applications in warmer temperatures.

HI-Mod Multi-Purpose Long Pot Life (LPL) provides a slightly slower strength development with extra working time and longer contact time with large mixes. and hot weather applications.
