FX-793 LP Hydro Ester Trowel Grade Long Pot Life Epoxy

DESCRIPTION:

FX-793 LP Hydro Ester® Trowel Grade Epoxy is a 100% solids, two-component, moisture insensitive, thixotropic epoxy resin adhesive. FX-793 mixed at a 2:1 by volume produces a non-sagging material that is ideal for repairs on vertical or overhead surfaces. FX-793 LP meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM - C881-87, Types I, II, and IV, Grade 3 Class "B" and "C".

ADVANTAGES:

FX-793 LP has a long pot life for high temperature applications. FX-793 will bond to wet or dry surfaces. It may be feather-edged, and will not shrink. It has excellent resistance to gasoline, oil, sewage, and aggressive water. It can be extended with FX-703 for economy.

WHERE TO USE:

Patching vertical or overhead concrete surfaces. Setting bolts or dowels in a horizontal plane. Gap filling adhesive for non-mating structural surfaces. FX-793 LP is readily dispensed into narrow slots and holes from cartridge dispensers.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

Pot Life (neat) @70°F (21°C)	60 minutes
Tack-free Time (15 mils thick)	8 hrs. min.
Final Cure	7 days

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AFTER CURE

Compressive Strength (ASTM C-109)	7 days 14 days	7,100 psi 9,500 psi
Tensile (neat) ASTM C-307	7 days 14 days	1,200 psi 1,400 psi
Tensile (neat) ASTM D-638	7 days 14 days	3,000 psi 3,700 psi

**FX-793 LP, when tested against normal setting epoxy resins with 1/2 hour pot life at 70°F (21°C), should be tested at 7 days; if specimens are cured at 90°F (32°C), they can be tested at 3 days.

APPLICATION:

Surfaces must be clean and sound. Remove rust, grease, and curing compounds by best means available. FX-793 LP may be applied to dry, damp, or wet surfaces, but not in standing water.

SHELF LIFE:

2 years

LIMITATIONS:

The temperature of the components of FX-793 LP must be in excess of 60°F (16°C) when mixed to achieve proper cure. Application to surfaces with a temperature below 55°F (13°C) greatly prolongs cure.

Apply at a rate of 100 sq. ft. (9.29 sq. meters) per gallon on smooth surfaces when bonding new concrete to old. Coverage will be less on rough surfaces.

CAUTION:

A Component contains epoxy resin. DANGER! B Component contains alkaline amines; strong sensitizer. May cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses. Use with good ventilation, particularly if material is heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin or eyes. Wear protective clothing, goggles, gloves and/or barrier creams. Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

FIRST AID:

In case of skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least fifteen (15) minutes. Remove contaminated clothing shoes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
