The initiator/promoter system shall be capable of providing a surface

cure time of not less than 40 minutes nor more than 3 hours at the

surface temperature of the concrete during application. The

initiator/promotor system shall be such that the gel time may be

adjusted to compensate for changes in temperature that may occur

throughout the treatment application.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: The grades for ASTM C 881/C 881M and classes

for both standards are as follows:

1.

Grade 1:

Low viscosity

2.

Grade 2:

Medium viscosity

3.

Grade 3:

Non-sagging consistency

4. Class B: For use between 5 and 15 degrees C 40

and 60 degrees F.

5. Class C: For use above 15 degrees C 60 degrees F.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Epoxy mortars and concrete do not have thermal

characteristics compatible with portland cement

concrete. This thermal incompatibility should be

carefully considered before specifying epoxy mortar

or concrete for exterior concrete surface repairs.

**************************************************************************

Epoxy compounds for repairs shall be moisture insensitive.
