DESCRIPTION

ULTRA BOND is an inexpensive, two component, high strength structural repair material that is very easy to use in the field.

BASIC USES

ULTRA BOND is used for all types of concrete repairs. It is used for patching, from shallow feathering to deep pours. It can be poured into forms, it can be applied by trowel both vertically and overhead, it can fill cracks or be used as a fast-set plug.

MAJOR ADVANTAGES

• ULTRA BOND cures very rapidly in all weather, at all temperatures, to form a very hard, tenaciously bonded repair.
• ULTRA BOND is non-flammable and has tremendous heat resistance.
• ULTRA BOND cures very rapidly; most applications can be returned to service in 30 minutes.
• ULTRA BOND does not shrink on cure.
• ULTRA BOND is stronger than concrete within 2 hours.
• ULTRA BOND is self priming and will bond to virtually any construction material.
• ULTRA BOND is very easy to use; there are no specific slump requirements, no critical mixing ratios, no sophisticated and expensive surface preparation.
• ULTRA BOND is non-toxic, it contains no harmful chemicals, and it cleans-up with water.
• ULTRA BOND is very cost-effective; it has the performance characteristics of the best polymers at a fraction of the cost.
• ULTRA BOND is totally water-proof, it is resistant to oils, gasoline, salt, UV radiation and acid rain.
• ULTRA BOND is approved by Agriculture Canada for incidental food contact.

TECHNICAL DATA

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Packaging: ULTRA BOND is a two component product and is available in regular and fine grades. Regular grade has 25 kg part A with 4L part B. Fine grade has 20 kg part A with 4L part B. Also available in bulk packaging.

Yield: One unit of regular grade ULTRA BOND will yield approximately 0.5 cu. ft. of mixes materials, or 70 units required for one cubic meter. One unit of fine grade yields approximately 0.4 cu. ft. of mixed materials. The yield of both grades may be increased by the addition of clean, dry aggregates during mixing. For applications at ambient temperatures below 10°C 1261 Low Temperature Additive must be used to ensure a full cure.

Application Instructions: Surface must be clean, dry and free of loose material. Remove all dirt from area to be covered leaving a rough, clean surface. Do not pre-wet surface. Keep an adequate supply of water on hand to keep equipment clean.

Handling: Store materials in a clean dry area away from direct heat. Setting time of the mixed material will be greatly accelerated if the components are stored in a warm or hot environment; conversely, the setting time is extended if the materials are kept cool. Flush all spills with water. Clean all tools with water immediately after each use. Do not attempt to place ULTRA BOND in water or where running water will disturb the worksite.

Mixing: Keep all materials dry. DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE MIX. Maintaining the mix ratio as supplied will give a trowelable consistency for most floor applications. However, the slump may be adjusted to the applicator's preference or to suit the specific job conditions by the addition of either of the two components. DO NOT ADJUST THE SLUMP BY THE ADDITION OF WATER. Mix the two components by mechanical means until all the material is wetted, and place quickly. Dry pea gravel may be added to the mix to increase the yield on deep placements.

Finishing: ULTRA BOND may be finished with screed, trowel or broom. Do not rework material after it has begun to set. OVERCOATING - Allow ULTRA BOND at least 24 hours cure before overcoating. The cured surface must be acid washed, sandblasted or mechanically abraded before coating to ensure sound bonding.

Safety: Use the same precautions as when working with conventional concrete. Although the materials are non-toxic it is good practice to protect exposed skin areas and to wear a face mask to prevent inhalation of the aggregate particles. A slight amount of ammonia gas is released during the cure, therefore venting of indoor areas may be required, although this will not present a problem outdoors. Neither of the components nor the mixed product are flammable.
