DESCRIPTION:

FX-742 Fast Set Epoxy Bonding Agent epoxy resin is a two-component, 100% solids epoxy resin system with a unique curing mechanism that allows it to cure at in temperatures as low as 20°F (-7°C). FX-742 meets and exceeds the requirements of ASTM C-881-02, Types I, II and IV, Class A and B.

ADVANTAGES:

Bonding Agent - can be used in wet or dry environments for bonding new concrete to old concrete.
Epoxy Grout - Machine base plates for toppings such as floors, potholes in bridges and highways.
Anchor Bolts - to grout bolt holes when mixed with one part FX-701 Filler.
In 24 hours it will produce 48,000 psi,in pull out at an ambient temperature of 20°F to 40°F.
FX-742 Hydro-Ester® All Purose epoxy resin comes in a convenient 1:1 ratio, allowing ease of proportioning and mixing in field applications.

APPLICATION:

Surface must be clean and sound. Remove rust, grease, and curing compounds by best means available. When applying below 32°F, make sure to remove any ice that any be present to allow for proper adhesion. FX-742 Fast Set Epoxy Bonding Agent epoxy resin may be applied to dry, damp, or wet surfaces, but not in standing water or ice. FX-742 epoxy resin comes in a convenient 1:1 ratio allowing ease of proportioning and mixing in field applications. Apply by brush, roller, or spray. Place fresh concrete while FX-742 is still tacky. If epoxy hardens simply apply another coat.

COVERAGE:

Apply at a rate of 100 sq. ft. per gallon on smooth surface when bonding new concrete to old. Coverage will be less on rough surfaces.

LIMITATIONS:

Do not use in presence of ice. Should not be applied to a frozen surface.

Epoxy resin (A Component) may crystallize. Heating material to 120°F and stirring will reconstitute material to original condition. Allow to cool before using.

SHELF LIFE:

2 years
