Product Use Instructions 

Concrete: Surfaces should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 20 days before coating. Excessive weak surface laitance must be removed by either acid etching or abrasive sweeping before coating. Aged, uncoated concrete surfaces are best prepared by abrasive sweeping. Contamination by oil or grease should be removed with an industrial degreaser before abrasive blasting or acid etching.

Steel: Most commonly used with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) for structural reinforcement and sealing. When used with carbon fiber, it is recommended to apply an initial non-conductive seal coating or fiberglass layer to insulate the steel from possible cathodic effects. Prepare steel by abrasive blasting to SSPC-SP10, “Near White Blast” with a 2-4 mil anchor profile. Small areas may be prepared using mechanical tools such as needle scalers or abrasive discs.

Below Water: Remove marine biological settlement and corrosion by high pressure water jetting with or without abrasive. Conventional air/ abrasive blasting works well at shallow depths however efficiency falls off sharply below 10 feet. Hand held power tools such as needle guns or grinders can give good results in small areas. Apply within 45 minutes after surface preparation to minimize rusting or resettlement of biological fouling which interferes with adhesion.

Mixing Procedures.

Before mixing, make a mental “run-through” of the job and required tools. Bio-Fix E913 is quick curing and must be used immediately after mixing or will cook off before application.

This material is a two-component product, premeasured to produce the desired kit size once part A and B are mixed. Mix using a stir stick or spatula as pot life is too short to sue with power mixers. Pour the curing agent into the base and mix for about 1 minute, taking care to reach all corners and walls to eliminate unmixed material.

Unmixed material will never harden. Material may immediately be used.

Note: Pot life and reaction time is heavily depending on temperature. As a general guide, every 18F above 77F will half pot life and cure time.

APPLICATION

Spread using a putty knife, plastic straight- edge spreader, of other flat surface. Quickly apply Bio-Fix E913 after mixing and work into surface.

Bio-Fix E913 may be immersed in fresh or salt water immediately after application. It will cure to a hard film within 4 hours and is suitable for traffic after this time. Allow at least three (3) days at 77F before subjecting to aggressive chemical service from industrial solvents and similar materials.
