Application
for Specification AEC 603 CEP
General
-Add any
batch of concrete to increase physical and chemical
prosperities. Increases compressive and tensile
strength, decreases permeability and greatly improves
chemical resistance. Prohibits efflorescence.
-Ideal for
patching, forms a bond to existing concrete stronger
than the original .
-Primer
for all metals, concrete and wood surfaces before
painting.
-Saturate
for polyester fabric before over coating with acrylic
roofing.
-Waterproof
grout for tile and masonry work.
-Use to
create a low cost concrete paint.
Application
Overview
-
Clean
using high pressure water being sure to remove all
oil or grease. Dry until all excess moisture is
gone.
-
Spray
or brush apply AEC 603 CEP @200 sq. ft. per.
Gallon. Allow prime coat to dry.
-
Mix
patch material and trowel into eroded areas.
Minimum film thickness of 1/4 inch. Can be feather
edged.
-
Allow
patch material to cure (minimum 12 hours) before
over coating with epoxy, urethane or thinset
Polymer Concrete.
Application
Using AEC
603 is a fairly simple matter. You merely replace a
portion of your water before mixing with your
cement-aggregate mixture. The most successful order
is:
-Calculate
the volume of water for your particular mix. (We
generally recommend an overall concrete mix of 1 part
water + 2 parts cement + 3 parts aggregate.)
-Place
water in container and fill to the total volume needed
with AEC 603. ie, If you want 50% polymer blend then
put half the total water into bucket and add enough
polymer to make the total volume of needed liquid. (NOTE:
Always add the polymer to the water. Adding water to
polymer will cause foaming and decrease your polymer
concrete properties.)
-Dry mix
the cement and aggregate together to blend then add
60% to 80% of the liquid and mix until all cement and
aggregate appears wet and lump free.
-Add the
balance of the liquid and mix briefly until completely
mixed.
Typical
Patch material Formula:
3 Gals AEC
603 CEP
2 Gals
Water
1 94 lb.
Bag #1 Portland cement
140 lb.
Clean sand
= 21 Gals
of Polymer Concrete
The
minimum recommended AEC 03 CEP is 3% added to the
water before eater addition to the concrete mix. This
translates into 1.1 gallons per yard of concrete. ie.,
If you are planning on putting 36 gallons of water
into a yard, fill barrel with 35 gallons of water, add
1 gallon + 1 pint of AEC 603 CEP to the water, now
blend the water into your cement-aggregate mix.
Beyond
that it’s a "dial your concrete" strength
question. How strong, flexible or chemical resistant
do you want your concrete? Add 1 pint to 7 pints of
water (12%) and you’ll have one gallon of water
perfect for addition to an 80# bag of pre-mixed
concrete. At 50-50 you nearly triple the concrete
strength. For mixing a sand-patch material 2 parts
water + 3 parts polymer makes a very effective
material.
Special
Notes, Comments and Observations
AEC 603
CEP increases the lubricity of concrete formulas.
You can thus create more "liquid" mixtures
and still get better performance than regular
concrete.
AEC 603
CEP accelerates the set time of concrete formulas.
Be careful that you do not mix more than you can
place within a 30 minute period.
AEC 603
CEP decreases the "bleed" water. Be
prepared to trowel finish as soon as you have placed
the concrete.
Surfaces
to which you wish to bond polymer concrete should be
first primed with AEC 603 CEP . Metal and wood
surfaces should be primed with AEC 603 CEP prime. On
hot surfaces be sure to mix the polymer first with
at least 50% water to allow penetration of substrate
before the water evaporates.
Excellent
adhesion is available through overcoats. If you
can’t get sufficient material applied in the first
pass then don’t worry about needing to apply more.
AEC 603
CEP works and enhances all cement formulas… #1
Portland, #1 White Portland and even alumina
cements. It should not be used in applications when
the projected service temperature is above 400 F.
Add dry
colorants to the liquid before adding to dry
materials.
