“he Tusted Brand in CONSTRUCTION ‘CHEMICALS, CEMTEC R 44 MULTIPURPOSE EPOXY GEL CEMTEC R 44 is a high strength, non-slumping, two component epoxy bedding system. This system is tough and resiiont when compared to ‘concrete. It has excellent characterestics for a variety of bedding, gap filing and concrete repair applications. It is widely used for bedding tiles, fixtures, bridge beams, steel bridge bearings etc itis also used for grouting applications like securing bolts into walls, dowel bars anchoring, filing bolt pockets and fixing of surface ports for crack injection etc. It is easily workable and can be applied by either trowel, spatula or knife. It is resistant to a wide range of commonly met ‘corrosive chemicals like acids, alkalis, salts, ols, ‘greases and petroleum etc. It is widely used for repairing surface defects or honeycombing concrete in horizontal, vertical and overhead applications, CEMTEC R44 is also available in (LPL) long pot life and in (CF) coarse finish version, PRIMARY APPLICATIONS Ware houses Dairies Service stations Chemical plants Metal treating plants Machinery service areas Food processing and rendering plants © Factories © Garages and car repair facilities © Aeroplane maintenance facilities FEATURES/BENEFITS ‘© Forms high strength, non-slump, non-shrink, ‘epoxy bedding system. © Forms a stiffbut easily workable compound. © Resistant to impact and a wide range of corrosive chemicals, © Has strong adhesion to concrete. © Can be used for wide range of applications: like bedding, grouting, crack filing and repair cof surface defects in horizontal, vertical and overhead applications. ‘SPECIFICATIONS/COMPLIANCES ‘The epoxy bedding system CEMTEC R.44.complios with ASTM C 881 Type 1, Grade 3 Classes B & C.

(ld concrete must be clean and well textured. All oil, dirt, debris, paint and unsound concrete ‘must be removed. The surface must be prepared mechanically using a scabler, bushhammer, shotblast or scarifier which will give a surface profile of a minimum (3 mm) and expose the large aggregate of the concrete, The final step in cleaning should be the complete removal of all residue with a vacuum cleaner or pressure washing. ‘Acid etching is acceptable only when Mechanical preparation is impractical. tis recommended only contractors experienced in the acid etching process Use this means of the surface preparation. The salts ofthe reaction must be thoroughly pressure washed away Allow the concrete to dry completely. NOTE: Even with proper procedures, an acid etched surface may not provide as strong a bond as a “High Quality Construction Chemicals” CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES 0, B0x7137, Dammam F146, Saul Arata Te G0966 58471450 Fc 0096638471575 tral tecn@cresa com, Web: www.emci-sa.com @D rary‘mechanically prepared surface. Mix partAand part B (resin & hardener) for 3 minutes using a drill and mixing prop. For ease of mixing, ‘add the part B to part (nat the reverse). The epoxy ‘must be well mixed to ensure proper chemical reaction, Fill routed out cracks and cut joints with CEMTEC R44, then apply CEMTEC R 44 over the rest ofthe floor. Trowel CEMTEC R 44 to the required level using the minimum of solvent on the trowel to aid workability The surface must be finished smooth by use of a paint brush dipped in CEMTEC SOLVENT. CLEAN-UP: Clean all tools and equipment with (CEMTEC SOLVENT. Do not allow material to harden fon the equipment, PRECAUTIONS/LIMITATIONS: '® Epoxy components may cause irritation, ‘Avoid contact with eyes and skin, © Store under cover out of direct sunlight and protect fram extremes of temperature. © Solvents are Flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, or lighted cigarettes. Use explosion-proof application equipments.
