Crack Sealing (K-093)

  • NON-CORROSIVE
  • EXCELLENT ADHESION
  • B.G.E. FREE
  • SOFT GEL CONSISTENCY
  • DOT NON-REGULATED

Copps’ Non-Corrosive Crack Sealing Paste is a special formula developed for concrete repair by crack injection. It has a consistency of a soft thixotropic gel which is designed for sealing cracks and setting injection ports in any position. K-093 is 100% solids, VOC free and Butyl Glycidyl Ether (BGE) free.

Non-Corrosive Crack Injection Epoxy has a very friendly mixing ratio (1:1 by volume) which allows it to be applied manually or using a dual cartridge.

Low risk ingredients of Copps’ non-corrosive formula make any job environment healthier, and waste disposal easier.

Butyl Glycidyl Ether. The EPA (SARA Title III, section 312) lists BGE as “Toxic” (per ANSI Z129.1) by skin absorption and an immediate health hazard.

SURFACE PREPARATION

To achieve excellent adhesion, the substrate should be free of all loose and foreign material and should be clean. Oils, grease, waxes or other contaminates must be removed prior to application. Be sure the crack is open where ports are placed.

MIXING

Mix one part A (resin) to 1 part B (hardener) for 3 minutes using a Jiffy Mixer and a slow speed drill. Mix at slow speed (less than 850 rpm) to avoid air entrainment. DO NOT mix more material than can be used within the stated working time. REMEMBER – you will have less working time at higher temperatures.

CLEAN-UP

Non-Corrosive Crack Injection Epoxy and Sealing Paste, before they are fully cured (hard), may be removed from tools with Copps Enviro Kleen solvent or warm soapy water.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Avoid breathing of vapors. Forced local exhaust is recommended to effectively minimize exposure. NIOSH approved, organic vapor respirators and forced exhaust are recommended in confined areas, or when conditions (such as heated polymer, sanding) may cause high vapor concentrations. Do not weld on, burn or torch Non-Corrosive Crack Injection Epoxy or any epoxy material. Hazardous vapor is released when an epoxy is burned.

Wash skin with soap and water if contact occurs. If eye contact occurs flush with water for 15 minutes and obtain medical attention.

Read and understand all cautions on can labels and material safety data sheets before using this material.
