MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE PREPARATION Remove all loose concrete, laitance, efflorescence, dirt, grease, oil, old paint and other foreign matter.  Methods such as abrasive blast, Blastrac, scarifying, scabbling or acid etch/rinse can be used.  Check surface for proper pH reading and porosity level.  Concrete must be clean and structurally sound.

When applying a coating over the E1000, when grinding or sanding is required, it is best to prep the floor surface first  before making your repairs with the E1000.  The E1000 is not designed to be smoothed out mechanically with a grinder or sander.

PRIME COAT For patching small spalled areas, a primer is not necessary.  But for resurfacing and re-leveling and to insure maximum adhesion, a prime coat of E155 Prime Crete Epoxy Damp Concrete Primer should be applied to the concrete substrate by bristly brush or medium nap, phenolic core roller cover.  Spread rate will be approximately 150-250 square feet per mixed gallon depending upon porosity of concrete surface.  Apply E1000 Mortar over primer within 1-4 hours while primer is still tacky.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS The E1000 K10-S2 patch material is prepared by first mixing the 1 pint of E1000 Hardener (Part B) with the ½ gallon of E1000 Base (Part A) in a separate container.  Power agitation is recommended, however, manual stirring may be used if care is taken to accomplish thorough mixing.  Stir for 1-2 minutes until a uniform color is obtained.  Be sure to scrape sides and bottom of container.  Mix catalyzed resin with sand supplied in the 5 gallon container.  Mix material with a slow speed (400-600 RPM) power drill using a dry wall mud mixing blade or Jiffy mixer.  Mix for approximately 3-4 minutes until a uniform blend is achieved.  For large batches, use paddle type mortar mixer. Improper mixing may result in product failure.

For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer.

Use of an improper drill mixer can result in streaking of the color because the pigment has not been thoroughly blended.  It can also create curing problems if the hardener also called activator (Part B) is not thoroughly blended with the resin (Part A) which can cause some areas on your floor to remain soft and not harden properly.  DO NOT USE A PAINT MIXER.  Many mixing problems described above can be traced back to using a paint mixer..  DO NOT HAND MIX as this approach can also result in the same problems as using a paint mixer.

APPLICATION Once mixed, immediately put the E1000 K10-S2 Epoxy Patch over the “tacky” primed surface and start hand troweling into place.  Apply pressure to “compact” material into a dense monolithic topping. Do not “over-trowel” material.  Working time of batch is approximate 15-20 minutes at 75°F. Machine trowel or screed may also be used.

CURE TIME E1000 K10-S2 Epoxy Patch will harden sufficiently for light foot traffic in 4-6 hours and vehicular traffic in 24-36 hours at 75°F.  Full cure is 5 days at 75°F.

COVERAGE K10-S2 Epoxy Mortar (Horizontal Applications) – Each 5 gallon kit will cover 30 sq. ft. @ 1/8” and 15 sq. ft. @ ¼” thickness or .3125 cubic feet.

SEALER COAT For best result it is recommended PC-1000 K10-S2 Epoxy Patch be sealed with an Epoxy Top Coat.

CLEAN UP Clean up immediately with SA-17 Clean Up Thinner or S-74 Thinner.  These clean up solvents are flammable.  Keep away from all sources of ignition.

CAUTIONS E1000 Epoxy is not a fire hazard; the flash point is 300°F.  However, under conditions of fire, it will burn and release potentially toxic fumes.  The Base portion is relatively inert physiologically.  The Hardener is corrosive and contains amines and related materials.  These can cause irritation and possible chemical burns to the skin and eyes.  This is also true for mixtures of Base and Hardener. The Hardener (Part B) and mixtures of Base (Part A) with Hardener (Part B) can cause eye and skin burns as well as allergic reactions.  The use of goggles, fresh air masks or NIOSH approved respirators, protective skin cream and protective clothing is a recommended standard practice when spraying coatings.

What is the E1000 Epoxy Concrete Repair Kit?

The E1000 Epoxy Concrete Repair Kit is a 100% solids, heavy-duty epoxy mortar system designed to repair damaged concrete surfaces. It’s used to fill cracks, patch spalled concrete, repair potholes, and resurface worn areas in industrial and commercial environments.

What types of concrete damage can E1000 repair?

E1000 is ideal for repairing:

• Cracks in concrete floors
• Spalled or chipped concrete
• Potholes and surface voids

It can also be used to rebuild and re-level surfaces where structural durability is required.

How thick can E1000 be applied?

The E1000 epoxy mortar can be applied from ¼ inch up to 1 inch thick in a single application, making it ideal for both shallow patches and deeper repairs.

What makes E1000 different from standard concrete patch products?

Unlike traditional cement-based repair materials, E1000 offers:

• 100% solids epoxy formulation (no shrinkage)
• Superior adhesion—stronger than concrete itself
• High compressive strength (11,000–12,000 psi)
• Excellent chemical, abrasion, and impact resistance

This makes it a long-term, structural repair solution, not just a temporary patch.

Where is the E1000 epoxy repair kit commonly used?

E1000 is widely used in:

• Warehouse floors
• Garages and service bays
• Loading docks and traffic aisles
• Food processing facilities
• Breweries, dairies, and manufacturing plants

It performs well in high-traffic and chemically aggressive environments. For a full list of our concrete repair products check out our Concrete Crack Repair page.

Is E1000 safe for food processing environments?

Yes. E1000 is USDA approved, making it suitable for use in food and beverage facilities where sanitation and durability are critical.

How long does E1000 take to cure?

At approximately 75°F:

• Working time: 15–20 minutes
• Light foot traffic: 4–6 hours
• Vehicle traffic: 24–36 hours
• Full cure: 5 days

This allows for fast return-to-service in commercial settings. Note higher or lower temperatures than 75F will affect curing time.

How much coverage does one kit provide?

Each 5-gallon kit yields approximately:

• 30 sq ft at 1/8” thickness
• 15 sq ft at 1/4” thickness

Coverage will vary based on surface depth and repair size.

Does E1000 require a primer?

• Not required for small patch repairs
• Recommended for resurfacing or larger areas to maximize adhesion

Using a primer improves bonding on porous or heavily worn concrete surfaces.

Can E1000 be topcoated?

Yes. After curing, E1000 can be coated with:

• Epoxy coatings
• Urethane coatings
• Polyaspartic systems

Topcoating enhances UV stability, aesthetics, and long-term protection.

Is E1000 easy to mix and apply?

Yes. The kit includes:

• Part A (resin)
• Part B (hardener)
• Pre-measured silica aggregate

It is mixed and applied using a trowel or screed, making it suitable for both contractors and experienced DIY users. After purchase, we offer at no additional cost application tips simply reach out to us at 630-675-4509 or [email protected].

How strong is E1000 compared to concrete?

E1000 forms a bond that is often stronger than the original concrete, meaning failure typically occurs in the surrounding concrete—not the repair.

Is E1000 resistant to chemicals and heavy traffic?

Yes. It offers excellent resistance to:

• Oils and fuels
• Acids and cleaning chemicals
• Abrasion and heavy equipment traffic

This makes it ideal for industrial floors and harsh environments.

Can E1000 be used outdoors?

E1000 can be used outdoors, but like most epoxy systems, it should be topcoated for UV protection to prevent discoloration and extend performance.

What surface preparation is required before applying E1000?

Proper surface prep is critical:

• Remove loose or damaged concrete
• Clean oil, grease, and contaminants
• Mechanically profile the surface (grinding or blasting)

A clean, sound surface ensures maximum adhesion and long-term performance.

What are the main benefits of using E1000 epoxy mortar?

• Permanent, structural concrete repair
• Fast cure and return to service
• High strength and durability
• Chemical and abrasion resistance
• Easy application with professional results

Who should use the E1000 repair kit?

E1000 is ideal for:

• Contractors and facility managers
• Industrial and commercial property owners
• Anyone needing long-lasting concrete repair vs temporary patching

Is E1000 suitable for DIY use?

Yes—with proper prep and mixing. However, due to its short working time and professional-grade performance, it’s best suited for users familiar with epoxy systems.
