(1000 mils = 1in.) No aggregate 1/4” = 250 mils 6.4 sq. ft. 3/16” = 187.50 8.5 sq. ft. 1/8” = 125 mils 12.8 sq. ft. 100 mils 16.0 sq. ft - Application Procedure
- Mixing: Combine A component with B component at the ratio of 1 to 1 by volume. Mix for approximately 3 minutes with a Jiffy mixer (or equivalent) on a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill until uniform color and consistency is obtained. PILGRIM EM 5-2 GEL is designed for application both neat and as a mortar. Proportion of aggregate to mixed epoxy varies with proposed end use - do not exceed 3 parts aggregate to 1 part mixed EM 5-2 GEL.
- Caution - Aggregate must be oven dried to avoid encapsulation of moisture.
- Mix Ratio: 1 : 1 (A:B) by volume
- Preparation: Clean substrate, remove laitance, curing compounds, other coatings, oil, grease, rust, waxes, and other bond-inhibiting substances. All surfaces must be clean sound, and free of surface water. Clean by mechanical abrasion methods such as sandblasting. Concrete may be damp or dry.
- Clean Up: Clean tools and equipment with Pilgrim #5 Cleaner to remove uncured material.
- Limitations
- Do not thin EM 5-2 GEL. Solvent will prevent proper cure
- Pilgrim EM 5-2 GEL produces a vapor barrier. Do not apply to surfaces where transmitted vapor can condense and freeze under adhesive. Minimum application temperature 40°F.

Safety & Health
- Precautions
- For industrial use only. May produce skin irritation and on prolonged contact may cause serious skin dermatitis.
- Skin contact should be avoided by use of protective clothing such as rubber gloves and eye protection.
- Any skin coming in contact with resin should be washed thoroughly with soap and water.
- Eye contact should be avoided; should it occur, flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
- Wear protective clothing, goggles, gloves, and/or barrier creams.
Storage & Handling
- Pot Life
- 20-35 minutes at 72° F.
- Caution: Pot life is dependent upon material temperature and quantity mixed. The greater the mass the shorter the pot life. Mix only that quantity that can be applied within its pot life.
- Storage
Store inside in tightly closed containers at moderate temperatures; avoid overheating and freezing. Opened containers should be sealed as soon as possible to prevent moisture contamination.
- Shelf Life
Two years in original packaging.
