Structural Epoxy Adhesive Paste TP
Structural epoxy adhesive paste and filler

Uses

For speedy and permanent patching repairs to concrete structures, bonding of precast concrete components and all repair work to concrete cementitious substrates where strength, impermeability to water, and resistance to aggressive chemicals is essential; emergency repairs to concrete structures, sea walls, and industrial floors in chemical handling and process areas.

The thixotropic nature of Structural Epoxy Adhesive Paste TP makes the product ideal for setting starter bars, dowels, holding down bolts and anchoring in general.

Advantages

• Early development of initial hardness, minimises maintenance disruption.

• Pre-weighed quality controlled materials ensure consistency and reduce risk of site errors

• Two pack colour coding gives visual check on correct mixing.

• Unaffected by a wide range of acids, alkalis and industrial chemicals.

• 3 to 4 times stronger than typical concrete. Excellent resistance to abrasion and impact.

• Natural grey colour sympathetic to aesthetic requirements.

Description

Structural Epoxy Adhesive Paste TP is part of Svenic Australia's range of structural adhesives and grouts for use in the construction industry. It combines ease of mixing and application with a two-component, epoxy paste consistency, structural adhesive/filler. It cures, with minimal shrinkage, at temperatures above 5°C to a very strong, dense solid.
The mixed material is applied to a suitably prepared surface and quickly cures to form a complete impermeable repair unaffected by many forms of chemical attack.
It is supplied as a two pack colour coded material in preweighed quantities ready for on-site mixing and use.

Instructions for Use

Preparation

All grease, oil, chemical contamination, dust, laitance and loose concrete must be removed by scabbling or light bush hammering to provide a sound substrate.

All concrete must be at least 14 days old prior to treatment. Steel surfaces should be grit blasted to white metal. Surfaces which show any traces of oil must be degreased with a chemical degreaser prior to grit blasting.

Mixing

Thoroughly mix resin (white) and hardener (black) until an even grey colour is obtained. Before a new cartridge kit is introduced into the hole, dispense the first part (at least 20 ml) of the cartridge into a cup etc, until the resin and hardener is of a homogenous and consistent, even grey colour.

Application

Apply the mixed Structural Epoxy Adhesive Paste TP with a notched trowel, putty knife, caulking gun, etc., depending upon the application. Bonded surfaces should be held rigidly together until the Structural Epoxy Adhesive Paste TP has set.
Cleaning
All tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with solvent such as Xylene. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

CAUTION: Some solvents contain potentially harmful chemicals like Toluene. They should only be used in well ventilated areas. Avoid direct skin contact. For further information, refer to the specific instruction sheet on the solvent used.

Packaging

Note: Bulk drums available of each resin and hardener.
