SP-15 Epoxy Patching Paste
SP-15 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin, a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant and a free-silica, powder (PN 1170).
Overview
SP-15 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin, a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant and a free-silica, powder (PN 1170). This combination, when properly mixed, achieves a non-shrinking patching paste with high compressive and tensile strength and which is easy to shape, sand and grind after initial cure.
Uses and Benefits
SP-15 is most often used to patch concrete holes, cracks, divots and non-moving joints. It can also be used when a feathered edge is required for smooth transitions between differing planes. SP-15 kit will cover approximately 3.2 sq. ft. at 1/4" or 150 LF of 1/4" X 1/4" joint.
Limitations
SP-15 is designed to be applied at temperatures between 60-90°F. Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.
Preparation
The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer.

Mixing & Application
It is always recommended to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures. A mixture consists of 1 quart SP-15 Part A, 1 pint SP-15 Part B and 3 LB. of Part C (PN 1170). Combine part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit (1 mix equals .5 gallons when Part C is added). Premix liquids at 350 RPM for 1 minute using an appropriate mixing blade, and slowly add Part C under agitation until desired paste consistency is achieved.
Disposal: Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc., per Federal, State and local guidelines, rules and laws.
