SP-15 Epoxy Patching Paste
SP-15
Product Overview
SP-15 consists of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin, a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant and a zero, 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
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.
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.03732 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. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed, contact Polymer Nation at lab@polymernation.com.

| Description | Results | Notes |
| Number of mixes per kit | 1 | A 1 mix kit consists of 32 FL. OZ. A, 16 FL. OZ. B and 1-3 LB. bag of C. |
| Number of Components | 3 | |
| Mix Ratio by Volume | 2:1 see Mixing & Installation | It is always preferred to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures |
| Ideal Application Temperatures | 60F-90F | Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush |
| Mixed Viscosity in cP@25C/77F | 3500+ A & B | Warmer temperatures will reduce viscosity and lower temperatures will increase viscosity |
| Gel Time | 20 min. | Warmer temperatures will decrease gel time and lower temperatures will increase gel time |
| Dry to Touch | 2.5 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Through Dry | 4 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Walk | 4.5 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Lightly Use | 6 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Full Cure | 7 Days | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Shore Hardness at 24 hours | D65 | Warmer temperatures will increase hardness |
| Shore Hardness at 7 days | D78 | Warmer temperatures will shorten time to reach full hardness |
| Gloss @ 60 Degree Angle | 30-40 | Applying material close to dew point will decrease gloss and may result in an amine blush |
| VOC’s of Mixed Material | <50g/L | EPA Method 24 |
| Color Scale per ASTM D1500 | .5-1.0 | Clear to slightly amber before filler is introduced |
| Solids by Volume Mixed | 100% | |
| Storage | 60F-90F | Store material between 60-90 degrees F in a protected dry location. |
| Odor | Subtle | |
| Coverage Per Mix | Each mix will cover approximately 3.2 sq. ft. at 1/4″ or 150 LF of 1/4″ X 1/4″ joint. | |
| Disposal | Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc.per Federal, State and local guideline, rules and laws | |
| Available Colors | This material is available in clear and once mixed with the 1170 will have a similar color to wet concrete | |
| Mixing & Installation | A mixture consists of 32 FL. OZ. A, 16 FL. OZ. B and 3 LB. of 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. Place mixed material on a mortar board and apply mixed material within 20 minutes using patching techniques. Recoat within 5 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone. | |
