Fast Setting epoxy injection adhesive
DESCRIPTION
CIPADITE ® 25 is a 100% solids two component , low viscosity fast setting epoxy adhesive. Its low viscosity and self leveling properties allow CIPADITE ® 25 to penetrate into the concrete to form a high bond strength and to properly fill the voids in the surface. Its rapid setting characteristics make it an ideal product for crack injection at either low pressure or high speed, depending upon crack width, depth and temperature.
WHERE TO USE
CIPADITE ® 25 is primarily designed for injection of cracked concrete, fissures or voids in concrete or rock or other structural materials. structural bonding and anchor bolt grouting.
BENEFITS
• 100% solids, zero VOC’s
• fast curing, even in cold, damp and adverse conditions
• low viscosity allows for maximum penetration into small hairline cracks and fractures
• moisture insensitive; high resistance to blush
• cures down to 7°C (45°F)

APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Cracked surfaces should be clean and free from coatings or contaminants which could prevent proper adhesion. If cracks are large, loose material should be removed. Use CIPADITE ® GEL 15 to grout injection ports in place and to seal other areas of crack.
MIXING
This product should be mixed and placed using automatic injection equipment. Mix CIPADITE ® 25 Resin and Hardener with a mixing paddle attached to low speed (400-600 rpm) heavy duty electric drill. Inject the mixed material with a suitable pump or gun(Alemite) or handheld cartridge. Use up the fresh mix as soon as possible and always within the indicated “Pot Life”.
APPLICATION
Clean cracks, with high pressure water jet, or by blowing them out with compressed air, free of oil. Optimum crack width varies from 0.25 mm to 6 mm. There are three basic methods of injection grouting: gravity, pressure and by machine. The gravity method for horizontal surfaces consists of penetrating the cracks by gravity flow. Compressed air or manual pressure and automatic machine injection methods, inject CIPADITE ® 25 into cracks while maintaining a constant pressure. Injection entry points are selected and flanged nipples, polyethylene one-way valves or tapes are set in place. Insertion holes drilled for special ports must be cleaned to avoid blocking the cracks. Seal the surface of the crack between inlets and also around the injection entries with CIPADITE ® GEL 15. The distance between two injection points may vary between 15 to 50 cm, or 1 to 1 ½ times the depth of the crack. Prior to injection, blow through the entry ports in succession to ensure that the sealed cracks are free and ready for injection. In vertical cracks, start injection points at the lowest point and continue until the injected adhesive flows out of successively higher points while closing off the lower ones. After cure, use a grinder to remove the sealing compound and refinish the surface.
LIMITATIONS
• do not use where crack is filled with water
• cracks to be injected should be dry for maximum bond
• minimum recommended curing temperature is 7°C (45°F)
COVERAGE/YIELD
Crack injection volume requirements vary widely with the surface porosity, crack width, depth and temperature.
STANDARDS
