Chemdur -41

Epoxy Resin Patching Mortar

Product Chemdur -41 is a solvent-free, three-component, thixotropic patching mortar based

Description on a combination of epoxy resins and selected quartz aggregates.
Suitable for tropical and hot climatic conditions.

Uses Chemdur -41 contains a medium degree of aggregates filling and therefore can be
used in a number of varying applications:
- As repair and bonding mortar on stone, concrete, mortar, rendering, steel, iron,
wood etc.
- For vertical and overhead filling of cavities
- As repair mortar for damaged concrete joint edges and concrete roads
- As abrasion resistant and impact resistant wearing course
- For structural bonding of wide joints

Advantages Chemdur -41 is available in three different grades of reactivity: normal, rapid and
long pot life.
Other benefits are:
- Rapid hardening according to grade used
- Suitable for both, dry and damp substrates
- Shrinkage-free hardening
- Curing is not affected by high humidity
- Good adhesion to concrete
- High mechanical strengths
- Abrasion and impact resistant
- Components of different colours (mixing control)

Application Details
Substrate All surfaces must be clean, free from frost, standing water and all loosely adhering
preparation particles. Cement laitance must be removed and the surfaces to be treated must
be mechanically roughened. Concrete must be at least 3 -6 weeks old, depending
on climate, wire brush, sand- or waterblast or grind substrates.
Metal surfaces (steel and iron) should be free from scale, rust, oil and grease.

Priming Priming is not required, except on damp concrete surfaces, where the use of
Comp. A+B of the mortar as primer is recommended.

Mixing Mix components A+B together for at least 2 minutes with a low speed electric drill
(max.500 R.P.M.), until a smooth consistency and streak free colour are achieved.
Then add component C and continue until mixture is homogeneous. Avoid
entrapping air.

Application After mixing apply directly to the prepared substrate by spatula, trowel or glove
protected hand, depending on application. When working on damp substrates, it is
advisable to prime first with Comp. A+B of the mortar.

Cleaning Clean tools with Colma Cleaner before hardening of the adhesive. Hardened
adhesive can only be removed mechanically.
Remarks Optimal working temperature for each grade are
Normal Type: 10 C - 30C ,
Rapid Type: 5 C - 15C ,
L.P. Type: 25 C 40C
When working at a higher temperature than recommended, the pot life will be
shortened. Similar when working at lower temperatures, the material will become
more difficult to apply and takes longer to harden.
Where the working temperature will be above 45C, please consult our Technical
Service.
Maximum thickness per coat: 6 cm
Minimum age of new concrete: 3 6 weeks, depending on climate.

Safety
Precautions Accidental splashes to the skin must be washed off with water and soap.
Accidental splashes to the eyes or mucous membrane must be rinsed with clean
warm water. Seek medical attention without delay.
Skin barrier cream, safety goggles and rubber gloves are recommended.

Ecology In a liquid state, components A+B contaminate water. Do not dispose of into water
or soil but according to local regulations

Toxicity Comp A & B : Class 4 under the relevant Swiss Health and Safety Codes.
