Ask your SealBoss Technician for details. The product is for professional use.

Guidelines

SealBoss 4040 LV Epoxy Resin is composed of two components. The mixing ratio by volume is 2:1 (A:B).

Concrete Crack Injection

SealBoss 4040 LV Epoxy Resin is suited for the injection of cracks and voids in concrete. The low viscosity of the material provides for good penetration at low to medium injection pressures. SealBoss 4040 LV Epoxy Resin bonds well under pressure and offers high tensile and compressive strength properties for structural repairs. Injection can be performed in wet environments. Best results and highest strengths are achieved in dry conditions. Do not modify the product if used for injection. For best results, epoxy injection must only be performed with approved two component injection equipment. SealBoss provides tested and proven two component injection pumps and accessories.

First prepare the surfaces adjacent to the cracks to expose clean, sound concrete. The injection ports should be spaced from 4 in. (10 cm) to 12 in. (30 cm) apart depending on the
crack width and the thickness of the member to be injected. Crack should be sealed at the surface with SealBoss 4500 F QuickSeal Epoxy Paste.

Other Applications

Surface Preparation Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water. Remove dust, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, oils and any other contaminants. Preparation Work: Concrete – Should be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface by blast cleaning or equivalent mechanical means. Steel – Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning or other equivalent mechanical means. If filled with additives, such as silica flour, sand or thixotropic fillers, a mixing ratio of 2:1 (SealBoss 4040 LV Epoxy Resin : Additives) should not be exceeded. Warning: Any product modification will change the physical properties of the product and published data will not be applicable.

Minimum substrate and ambient temperature 40°F (4°C). Do not thin. Material is a vapor barrier after cure. Not for injection of cracks under hydrostatic pressure at the time of application. Do not inject cracks greater than 1/4 in. (6 mm) without consulting Technical Service. Do not add solvents or otherwise thin this material. Color may alter due to variations in lighting and/or UV exposure. 

Chemical Resistance

SealBoss 4040 LV has excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals including acids and bases, aircraft and automotive fluids, petroleum fuels, cutting oils, etc. It has limited resistance to hydrocarbon solvents. Performance is a function of the specific chemical and concentration, ambient and solution temperatures, and exposure times.
