CORRO-FIX 911 TECHNICAL DATA
|
KEVLAR™
ENHANCED EPOXY ADHESIVE
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
CORRO-FIX 911 is a highly
modified "5-minute" type repair compound reinforced
with *Kevlar™ micro
fibers and formulated for strength and versatility under adverse
field conditions. CORRO-FIX 911
is so tolerant of wet conditions that it may even be used underwater
or to repair wet, leaking pipes.
CORRO-FIX 911 is solvent-free,
odor free, no toxins and contains no carcinogens.
As a General Use Adhesive CORRO-FIX
911 adheres strongly to metal, wood, concrete, fibreglass,
vinyl, steel, copper, PVC, gelcoat, galvanizing and most other
engineering materials.

SURFACE PREPARATION
|
Remove all loose surface contamination
around the immediate repair site. Abrade the area using abrasive
paper, stiff wire brush, etc. Wash or wipe off all loose particles
so that the surface area is clean and cleared to provide good
adhesion.
Note: Prepare surface before mixing epoxy components as the
epoxy cures very quick.
|
|
MIXING PROCEDURE
|
Mix one part CORRO-FIX
911 curing agent with one part CORRO-DUR
911 epoxy base on flat disposable surface such as
cardboard or plastic. Thoroughly mix the two components until
the mixture is a uniform color.
|
|
APPLICATION
|
Using
a spatula or other straight edged tool, quickly 'butter' the
mixed epoxy on the entire repair site and allow the epoxy to
dry to touch ( approximately 3 minutes).
CORRO-FIX 911 is extremely useful when used with
fibreglass tape or other fibrous reinforcement to plug leaks.
When used it impregnate fibreglass use just sufficient to saturate
the fibres then make at least three tight wraps around leaking
pipes or joints pulling down hard. Excess epoxy will be squeezed
through the fibres and may be smoothed over the surface after
the tape is applied. Large leaks may be sealed by saturating
fibrous material such as oakum with CORRO-FIX
911 and ramming it into voids. CORRO-FIX
911 is completely tolerant of water and will adhere
to wet but otherwise clean surfaces.
|
|
TEMPERATURE
|
CORRO-FIX 911 may be applied
in temperatures as low as 45°(7°C)-curing will be slow,
however the viscosity of the material will still be workable.
Temperature will exert considerable influence on the rate of
curing of chemically cured epoxies such as CORRO-FIX
911. In broad terms expect each 10°C,(18°F),
rise or fall in temperature to half or double dry times and
pot lives.
