REZI-WELD™ 1000

MULTI-PURPOSE CONSTRUCTION EPOXY
Provides a versatile, medium-viscosity construction epoxy in a unitized color-coded package to reduce job-site confusion.

SEALTIGHT REZI-WELD 1000 Multi-Purpose Construction Epoxy is designed for the majority of bonding, setting, dowelling and concrete rehabilitation projects.

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT REZI-WELD 1000 Multi-Purpose Construction Epoxy is a two-component, 100% solids, medium-viscosity, self-leveling, premium-grade structural epoxy adhesive. It offers high modulus and high strength performance.

REZI-WELD 1000 is VOC-compliant. The product is moisture insensitive and resistant to many chemicals. REZI-WELD 1000 is easy-to-apply.

SEALTIGHT REZI-WELD 1000 offers a unique and innovative unitized packaging concept. It combines 2 properly color-coded, pre-measured, components into an easy-to-handle, single unit along with a handy, wood mixing paddle. The unitized packaging eliminates mishandling and mismatching of the components on the jobsite.

Uses
As a neat mix, REZI-WELD 1000 is used as an adhesive to bond freshly mixed concrete to a sound, hardened concrete base. It also bonds old concrete, metals and other materials to hardened concrete. The neat mix is also used to secure metal anchors, bolts, rebars and dowels in concrete.

A thin film coating sprinkled with sand or grit becomes a durable non-skid pathway.

REZI-WELD 1000 mixed with sand or aggregate at proper levels is an excellent product for minor patching and grouting spalls and defects in concrete pavement.

Advantages and Benefits

Application Tools

Application
SURFACE PREPARATION: Mechanically abrade all surfaces to be bonded. All surfaces to be bonded must be free of standing water and completely clean of dirt, rust, curing compounds, grease, oil, paint, and unsound materials which would prevent a solid bond. Vacuum or blow dust away with oil-free compressed air. Exposed steel should be sandblasted and vacuumed clean.

MIXING: Condition all components to 60 to 85ºF for 24 hours prior to use. Pre-mix each component. Mechanically mix at slow speed (600-900 rpm) using a drill and Jiffy Blade or drum mixer for 3 minutes or until completely mixed while scraping the sides to ensure complete blending of components.

The mixed product should be uniform gray in color and not show streaks. Avoid air entrapment. Mix only very small quantities by hand for a minimum of 3 minutes or until sufficiently blended together using the supplied stirring stick.

Scrape the sides of the container to ensure complete blending of components. Mix only the amount of epoxy that can be applied within the product's potlife. Potlife will decrease as the ambient temperature and/or mass size increases.

BONDING FRESH CONCRETE TO HARDENED CONCRETE: Use a stiff brush to apply a layer of mixed epoxy to the prepared concrete surface. Spread a thin, uniform coating at a rate of 85 to 100 ft.² per gallon (2.09 to 2.70m² per liter) not to exceed 1/4" (6.35mm) in thickness.

OTHER BONDING: To bond cured concrete or metal to concrete, apply not less than 1/64" (.40mm) layer to the prepared surface and join together immediately.

AGGREGATES FOR EPOXY-RESIN MORTARS: Combine clean, dry aggregates with freshly mixed epoxy in a ratio of 1 part epoxy to 1 to 4 parts, by volume, of graded dry, clean aggregates. A rotary drum mixer with a stationary paddle is recommended for blending aggregates and epoxy. Apply a thin coat of aggregate-free epoxy to the prepared surface as a primer. Patch thickness should not exceed 1-1/2" (38.1mm) per lift.

METAL ANCHORS IN PREFORMED HOLES IN CONCRETE: Preformed holes should be approximately 1/4" (6.35mm) larger in diameter than the anchor bolt diameter. The depth of the hole should be 10-15 times the bolt diameter. Consult engineer for job specification requirements. Fill the hole about half way from the bottom up and place the bolt, dowel or rebar. Top off with more epoxy and finish.

NON-SKID APPLICATION: Apply mixed epoxy at a rate not to exceed 110 ft² per gallon (2.70m² per liter). For heavy coverage, apply a layer of sand or grit over the epoxy and allow it to set. Blow away excess sand. NOTE: REZI-WELD 1000 IS NOT TO BE USED AS A FINISHED FLOOR COVERING OR PROTECTIVE TREATMENT.

CLEANUP: Clean tools and equipment immediately with Toluene or Xylene. Clean equipment away from heat, sparks and open flame and avoid breathing vapors or allowing epoxy-containing solvent to contact skin. Should this material come in contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water, only. Consult MSDS on solvents for proper use and handling.
