CONCRESIVE 1441

Epoxy bonding adhesive for segmental construction and old to old concrete bonding
Description
Concresive 1441 is an epoxy resin based bonding
system available in two grades for use in two different
ranges of concrete surface temperature.
Concresive 1441S
for 25C to 40C.
Concresive 1441.
for 4C to 30C.
Both the grades are two part systems. The two parts
are distinctly coloured to facilitate proper mixing - a
white coloured Part A and a black coloured Part B,
Uses
Concresive 1441 is recommended for bonding two
rigid elements exposed to sustained loads especially
at the bond line, such as:

bonding precast segments in bridges & viaducts.

bonding external steel reinforcing plates for
strengthening beams, columns, slabs.
anchoring bolts, dowels, steel bars in concrete.
bonding the ends of concrete or metal pipes
used to transport water or sewage.

Advantages
Effective transfer of stresses at bond interface.
Resistance to creep even at high service
temperatures.
Provides watertight seal to the joint
No loss of bond due to sagging of bond film.
High bond strengths
Good bond to damp surfaces
Sufficient open time for alignment and bonding of
elements.
Excellent squazability for effective spread &
contact
High early and ultimate strengths
Standard Compliance
CONCRESIVE 1441 & CONCRESIVE 1441 S meets
the FIP specifications of epoxy adhesive for
segmental bridge construction in all respects
Specification Clause
The epoxy bonding adhesive shall be CONCRESIVE
1441, two-component, solvent free, non-seg
formulation complying with FIP norms of epoxy
adhesive for segmental construction in all respect.
The manufacturer shall be able to produce a valid test
certificate in this respect from any reputed testing
institute. The product shall exceed compressive
strength of 75 MPa at 7 days and shall have mixed
density not less then 1.8 with minimum open time of

60 minutes at maximum application temperature as

claimed by the manufacturer.

Directions for use
Surface preparation
Correct substrate preparation is critical for optimum
performance. Surfaces should be structurally sound,
clean, and free from loose particles, oil, grease, or
any other contaminants.
Remove oil grease and wax contaminants by
scrubbing with industrial grade detergent or
degreasing compounds followed by mechanical
cleaning.
Remove cement laitence, loose particles, mould
release agent, curing membrane, and other
contaminants from the surface by wet grit blasting,
high pressure water jetting (approximately 150 bars)
or such other effective methods.

If surface irregularities exist, apply Concresive 2200

epoxy paste as a fairing coat. For smoothening deep
surface irregularities, use Concresive ERL.
Ensure to check the segments to be bonded for
good alignment.
A mock-up is ideal before first actual application to fix
the open time required.
Mixing
Mechanical mixing is necessary. A slow speed (300 600 rpm) drill with a mixing stirrer is recommended.
Mix the entire contents of both Part A and Part B
containers together to avoid batching errors. Ensure
to scrap down the sides of the container.
However, if part mixing is necessary, stir each
component individually and then measure out
precisely each component in the proper ratio into a
clean, dry pail for subsequent mixing. Ensure that the
remaining contents of each container are not
contaminated.
Mix Part A and Part B together until the streaks of
Black and White disappear to yield a homogenous
Grey mix.
Prepare both the surfaces that are to be bonded on
the above lines.
Placing
If the surface has been treated with fairing coat as
described above, allow the fairing coat to set and
within 24 hours apply CONCRESIVE 1441 on one of
the two surfaces being bonded.
Apply CONCRESIVE 1441 within its pot life to a
thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm using a trowel, so as to
allow for a small quantity of the bonding material to
extrude out of the bond line when pressure is applied
to bond the two surfaces.
The prepared surfaces of the two rigid elements to be
bonded should be brought together within the open
time of the product and retained in position until
CONCRESIVE 1441 cures.
Cleaning
Clean the tools and equipment first with rags, then
wipe off using CLEANING SOLVENT NO. 2 before
the bonding agent hardens.
Coverage
Material requirement is 1 litre/m2 per mm thickness.

Each pack of 6 Kg shall be able to cover 3.25 m2

area at 1mm average thickness
Packaging
Both grades of Concresive 1441 are available in 6kg
pack.
Storage and Shelf life
Store under cover, out of direct sunlight and protect
from extremes of temperature. In tropical climates the
product must be stored in an air-conditioned
environment.
Shelf life is 12 months when stored as above.
Failure to comply with the recommended storage
conditions may result in premature deterioration of
the product or packaging. For specific storage
advice please consult BASF's Technical Services
Department.
Safety precautions
As with all chemical products, care should be taken
during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes,
mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be tainted
with vapour until product fully cured or dried). Treat
splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally
ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep
away from children and animals. Reseal containers
after use. Do not reuse containers for storage of
consumable item. For further information refer to the
material safety data sheet. MSDS available on
demand or on BASF construction chemicals web
site.
