Moisture tolerant.

100% solids, conforms to VOC regulations. Easy-to-use 1:1 volume mix ratio.

Conforms to ASTM C-881, Grade 2, Class A, Type IV & V.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

All concrete surfaces to be bonded should be dry for best results. However, a damp surface dry condition is acceptable. Surfaces must be free of standing water. Mechanical scarifying to remove laitance or other foreign materials will result in optimum bond. Drill holes must be air blasted to remove residual dust. Steel dowel bars must be free of rust and oily substances. Sand blast or wire brush to white metal.

MIXING AND APPLICATION:

DBA-L5 supplied in containers should be inspected for settling. The individual components should be mixed prior to combining them or charging them into the compartments of dispensing equipment. Check dispensing equipment to be sure of correct 1:1 by volume mix ratio. If mixing DBA-L5 by hand, combine part A and part B in equal volumes. Do not mix more than can applied in five (5) minutes.

To prepare mortar, use clean, dry bagged silica sand. Mix 3-5 parts by volume of sand to 1 volume of mixed epoxy. Prime surface to receive mortar with neat epoxy. Place mortar with a spatula or trowel.
