EPICOL INJ LV T.D.S
USAGE
EPICOL INJ LV is a low-viscosity epoxy resin for structural bonding of cracks and micro cracks in dry or wet concrete. EPICOL INJ LV can be used as glue for bonding and anchoring.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Good chemical resistance to alkalis, petroleum derivatives, acid, diluted organic acids, salts and solutions. For more information please contact RESIPLAST NV.
PROPERTIES
- Low-viscosity
- For dry and wet applications
- Deep penetration in micro cracks
- Solvent-free
- Excellent adhesion to concrete• Long processing time
PROCESSING
- Preparing the application surface
Make sure the surface is clean, repaired and sealed. The recommended processing temperature for the surface, the surroundings and the material is 15 to 25°C. Do not use below 10°C.
- Mixing
Stir the base (component A) evenly before use. Add the full amount of hardener (component B) and mix mechanically (300 rev/min) until both components are homogeneous.
- Application
Injection in concrete
EPICOL INJ LV is injected with a low pressure pump. Glue the injection packers on the crack and finish with a layer of EPICOL U. Alternatively use pre-drilled injection packers.
The injection starts at the lowest point for vertical applications, and at the smallest crack for horizontal ones. Start the injection in the first nipple. Inject the crack until the resin reaches the next injection nipple and repeat this procedure for each nipple until the crack is completely filled. Never mix more resin than can be used within the pot life. Rinse the pump with SOLVENT MEK.
EPICOL INJ LV is fully cured after one day and the injection nipples can be removed.
Adhesive
EPICOL INJ LV is an excellent adhesive for gluing flat parts together. Apply EPICOL INJ LV with a brush on the flat parts. Press these together for 24 hours.
- Use
EPICOL INJ LV can be mechanically loaded after 48 hours.

STORAGE
Store EPICOL INJ LV in a dry, well ventilated storage area between 5 and 35°C. 24 months shelf life.
If in doubt, contact RESIPLAST NV and provide the batch number on the package. Do not let the product get in contact with ground water, surface water or sewage systems. Dispose of contaminated packaging and remnants according to legal regulations.
SAFETY
Carefully read the safety instructions before using EPICOL INJ LV. Products have a characteristic odour when being applied. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation, stay away from ignition sources and do not smoke. Avoid contact with skin. Eye irritation and/or sensitivity may occur during heavy vapour concentrations, inhalation and/or skin contact. Do not keep food products (food, beverages) in the same workspace. Always wear personal protective equipment according to local guidelines and regulations. Gloves and safety goggles are mandatory.
