Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Patching Material
DESCRIPTION
CPD ® EPOXFLEX LT GROUT is a heavy duty resin-rich highly abrasion resistant epoxy floor patching material. It consists of a 100% solids, two component epoxy resin binder with a fiber modified high strength aggregate for maximum protection.
WHERE TO USE
CPD ® EPOXFLEX LT GROUT is designed for concrete floor repairs in heavy service industrial plants. The cured product exhibits excellent mechanical properties as well as high abrasion resistance.
BENEFITS
• excellent bond to concrete and steel
• fast curing properties
• stress relieving resin system
• fiber reinforced for toughness
• excellent workability for ease of application
• slip resistant finish

APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Saw cut a rectangular perimeter around the concrete floor area to be repaired. Chip down to 25mm (1") minimum to create a box with the bottom having a minimum profile. Any exposed rebar should be wire brushed prior to grouting. Any corroded rebar must be replaced. If water is used for saw cutting/chipping dust suppression power wash (water only) to remove all mud and particles. Allow to dry (or force air dry) prior to priming. When steel channel is encountered degrease and wire brush to reveal continuous bright metal.
PRIMING
After concrete preparation, prime all areas with CPD ® EPOXFLEX LT GROUT (resin only). If the entire unit is not being used, premix both Part “A” and “B” prior to removing product from containers. If using entire unit, mix as outlined under product mixing below. Mix the resin by combining 2 volumes of Part “A” with one volume of Part “B”. Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes then apply with broom or stiff masonry brush - avoid pooling.
MIXING
CPD ® EPOXFLEX LT GROUT can be mixed in a mortar mixer or a 60L galvanized steel garbage can. For a 60L can mix utilize a slow variable speed heavy duty 3/4" drill with a sigma mixing blade. Mix the 3.79L unit of CPD ® EPOXFLEX LT GROUT by adding Part “B” to Part “A” and mixing for 2 minutes. Thereafter, pour the mixed gallon into the Part “B” can and mix for one minute. Use a slow speed drill with a “Jiffy” mixer blade. Pour the mixed gallon into the 60L pail, then add the aggregate slowly, while mixing. When using a mortar mixer (5ft³ unit) you can mix up to 5 units at a time. Always add the mixed resin to the mortar mixer first followed by the aggregate component. Once the aggregate is uniformly mixed (no dry lumps) discharge, place and finish as soon as possible. If a smooth finish is desired, use mineral spirits as a trowel lubricant (do not use water or any other solvent as a finishing aid).
NOTE: Components should be at room temperature prior to use for ideal finishing and curing properties.
LIMITATIONS
• avoid any contamination of product with water prior to hardening
• minimum substrate application temperature is 10°C (50°F)
• do not store resin below 4.5°C (40°F)
• do not use any other aggregate in product Consult CPD ® Technical Service personnel for severe chemical exposure applications.
