- Application Procedure
- Surface Preparation: The success of any adhesive application is directly proportional to the completeness of substrate preparation and the care your crews put into the application. Surface must be clean and sound. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles & disintegrated materials from surface. Prepare concrete by sandblasting or other approved mechanical methods. Steel - sandblast to appropriate finish.
- Mixing: Mix part A with part B at a ratio of 1 to 1 by volume. Proportion components into a clean pail and mix for approximately 3 minutes with a jiffy mixer (or equivalent), on a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill until color is a uniform blend. Pilgrim EM 5-2 is designed for application both neat and as mortars. Proportion of aggregate to 1 part mixed epoxy varies with proposed end use. 1 to 3 parts aggregate to 1 part mixed EM 5-2 is a general recommendation.
- Yield: 1 gallon covers approximately 80 sq. ft. on a smooth surface. 2 gallon mixed with 4 parts aggregate yields 925 cu. inches (.54 cu/ft.) of grout.
- Clean Up: Pilgrim #5 Cleaner is formulated to remove uncured material from tools.
- Cautions/Limitations
- Do not thin EM 5-2. Solvent will prevent proper cure. Exposure to temperatures (after cure) above 200 ° F not recommended. Substrate temperature must not be below 40 °F during application.
- Pot life is dependent upon material temperature and quantity mixed. The greater the mass the shorter the pot life. Increased mass and temperature result in higher exothermal and shorter pot life.
