CHEMAX EPBOND
CHEMAX EPBOND is based on solvent free epoxy resins containing pigments and fine fillers. It is supplied as a two part material in pre weighed quantities for ready onsite mixing and use. Colored components – white base and green hardener – provide visual evidence that adequate mixing is achieved.
Uses: For bonding new cementitious materials to existing cementitious surfaces. For use on horizontal surfaces an on vertical surfaces where mortar or concrete can be supported by formwork. Ideal for extensions and repairs to structural concrete in buildings, loading bays, bridges, roads, bonded or granolithic floor toppings etc.

The bonding agent shall be CHEMAX EPBOND an epoxy based two component resin system prepacked in distinct colors to give visual evidence for proper mixing. The bonding agent should remain in tacky state after application for a minimum period of 6 hours at 300C. There shall not be bond failure of the specimen when tested by slant shear method according to BS 6319 pt 4, with M30 concrete.
