Syntech RGS

Epoxy adhesive for structural construction joints, brushable

A fluid, medium-viscous epoxy adhesive for the structural casting of joints (new conglomerates on existing structures). After careful mixing, the two-component compound must be applied on the existing concrete by brush or roller, a few minutes before applying the new conglomerate (“wet-on-wet”).

Fields of application

Construction joints between new and existing concrete, flooring and structures. Sealing and filling of cracks in the concrete (of a magnitude greater than 1 mm).

Allowed supports

Preparation of supports

The application surfaces should be suitably prepared and adequately resistant: free from dust, grease, fouling, crumbling and non-adhering parts, free of detected surface humidity, for floorings, moreover, it may be advisable to carry out preliminary shot peening or milling of adhesive surfaces.

Mode of use

Add component B to component A taking care to remove all the material from the packaging, mix thoroughly with a mixer at a low number of revolutions, until a perfectly homogeneous mixture is obtained; add the required load amount (component C) continue to mix until a homogeneous lump-free mixture is obtained. Apply by brush or roller on the surfaces prepared. Spread, or "cast" on site, the subsequent conglomerate, in the range of application defined by the conditions of adherence of Syntech RGS (before it hardens).

Warnings

Do not apply in the presence of stagnant water at the surface; do not make the new cast if the product lacks the necessary "stickiness". If, after its application, Syntech RGS should unfortunately harden before having placed the new conglomerate, it is recommended that you do not proceed, since the separation between the two bodies would be very likely! In these cases, it is recommended to apply a new layer of Syntech RGS, above the already hardened one, and proceed normally (as described above).
