Principle Uses: Suitable for repairs to ways, highways, bridges, expansion joints and for installation of new expansion joints.

Coverage/Yield: 1800 kg/m³

Condur ARP Advantages

• Flexible & do not need to destroy the surrounding concrete
• Epoxy & most other high early strength repair materials prematurely fail because they are rigid.
• Rigid repair materials installed in rigid pavement require that both the materials have similar coefficient of expansion. Most do not and as a result destroy the surrounding patch & concrete.
• Condur ARP provides a flexible patch that will deflect as surrounding concrete expands and contracts rather than destroy it.
• High compressive stress & elasticity unlike epoxies, Condur ARP can handle heavy pressure before deflecting and allows itself to return to its original state after deflection.
• High impact resistant – under bitterly cold conditions Condur ARP withstands heavy impact unlike epoxy and concrete-based materials that shatter.
• Resistant to chemicals & discolouration over time – excellent U.V. resistance.
• Excellent adhesion to steel and concrete.
• Greater compressive strength along with better impact resistance.
• Can be easily installed with early strength gain & flexibility.
• Can accept traffic in approx. one hour.
• Fully cured material is resistant to changes in temperature.
• Use as a pourable sealant in expansion joints.
• Withstands heavy loading.
• Resistant to chemicals & fuel oils.

AR 800 acrylate resin is a super low viscosity, hydrophilic grout that produces an elastomeric gel with variable set times. This three-component resin is used for leak sealing and soil consolidation. It is ideal for geotechnical applications in humid environments. The variable set time range is long—from minutes to more than an hour—and is adjustable in the field. The resin remains fluid until polymerization, allowing for excellent penetration, so it is a great choice for sandy or silty soils.

When cured at a 50% concentration, it is a white flexible gel that has the consistency of a soft silicone gel with excellent adhesiveness. Humid conditions allow the gel to remain relatively constant. The gel is permanently elastic; these dimensional changes are reversible and do not degrade the gel. All-stainless steel pumps/fittings are required. This product has been independently tested and proven to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.5 for contact with potable water.

Prime Flex 920 is a single-component polyurethane injection resin used to seal gushing leaks, including wide gaps, in concrete where the structure is not subject to movement. This hydrophobic, super low viscosity polyurethane reacts with water and expands to form a closed cell, watertight, rigid foam. Due to its low viscosity, 920 is also used for permeation grouting of loose soils to consolidate soil particles and increase the load-bearing capacity. (For high strength or large void filling, see Prime Flex 985.) This material requires the use of Prime Kat or Kick Fast Kat to adjust the reaction time from 4-13 seconds. (See Material Preparation below.) This product is independently tested and verified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.5 for contact with potable water.

Prime Flex Hydro Gel SX is a versatile, easy-to-use single-component, water activated, hydrophilic polyurethane injection resin for sealing actively leaking joints and cracks in below-grade concrete structures. It forms either a closed cell, watertight foam or impermeable gel depending on the water to resin mix ratio. Cured material remains flexible and has excellent adhesion. It can also be used for soil binding for slough control. Independently tested and verified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for contact with potable water.

Prime Flex 940 polyurethane resin is a very low viscosity, hydrophobic resin that reacts with water and expands to form a closed cell, watertight flexible foam. This grout requires Prime Kat or Kick Fast catalyst, but after mixing is pumped as a single component. The set time can be varied with the catalyst concentration. This resin is used for sealing actively leaking joints and cracks in concrete structures, particularly those subject to movement or vibration. It is verified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.5 for contact with potable water.

Use

Sikadur-31 may be used as a thin layer levelling mortar, repair mortar or adhesive for most building materials (concrete, brick, stone, ceramics, cement mortar, GRC, fibrous cement, iron and steel and epoxy mortar). Sikadur-31 may also be used to anchor holding down bolts, starter bars etc. as a bonding bridge between old concrete and Sikadur-41 mortar. The material is also ideally suited for bonding of external reinforcement and as a general structural adhesive. Special higher strength grades of the material are available for segmental bridge and other construction.
