Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar

Description

CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar is a solvent free Epoxy resin system, together with specially graded lightweight fillers. The mixed mortar has excellent application
characteristics, allowing overhead and vertical repairs to be easily accomplished.

The Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar is used in conjunction with a separate primer such as CPR 403 – Primer for Concrete Repair Mortars – Epoxy WB. The product is supplied as a three-pack material, pre-weighed to allow easy on-site mixing and use. CPR 721 provides a strong durable, weatherproof repair for concrete, brickwork, stonework and steel substrates.

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

The substrate shall be sound, clean and free from laitance, dust, oil, grease and other contaminants.
Smooth substrates should be roughened by mechanical means to form a ‘key’ in order to optimise adhesion.
Scabbling, grit blasting, high-pressure water jetting or needle gunning are satisfactory forms of preparation.
Any corroded re-enforcing steel shall be abraded or grit blasted to remove all scale, rust, etc.
If application of the CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar is to be delayed then a coat of CPR 410 – Metal Primer – Epoxy WB should be applied as an anti-corrosive holding primer for prepared steelwork.

Priming

Mix and apply a coat of CPR 403 – Primer for Concrete Repair – Epoxy WB in accordance with the product data-sheet instructions.

Mixing

Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT container into the BASE container and mix thoroughly by spatula or low-speed drill/stirrer.
The mixed resins shall be poured into a forced action mixing vessel, (Creteangle bucket or similar), and the FILLER added steadily whilst the mixer is in motion.
Mix for 2-3 minutes until a uniform material is achieved.

Application

Whilst the CPR 403 – Primer for Concrete Repair – Epoxy WB remains in a ‘tacky’ condition, i.e. within 90 minutes of application, apply the CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar by wood float, ensuring good compaction, and then close and finish with a steel float.
Where a roughened profile is required, finish with a plastic float.
CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar may also be placed by gloved hand for comparatively inaccessible applications.
Chequer board application is recommended for larger areas of rendering.
Application thickness of up to 50mm per layer may be achieved.
If additional layers are required, scratch finish the first layer and then re-prime the following day prior to subsequent applications.

Equipment Cleaning

Clean equipment with CPR 201 – Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the mortar.

Curing

CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar will have cured sufficiently after 24 hours @ 20°C to be put back into most kinds of service.
7 days cure @ 20°C will be required to ensure optimum mechanical properties and full chemical resistance.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in dry conditions at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
Avoid low-temperature storage prior to use of the material.
Do not expose to freezing conditions.
CPR 721 – Superlight Epoxy Concrete Repair Mortar has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
