EPOLOCK™ 1500: Two-Component Epoxy Adhesive for Concrete Repair and Waterproofing
Overview
EPOLOCK™ 1500 is a high-performance, two-component epoxy adhesive designed for rapid curing, exceptional chemical resistance, and superior adhesion—even on wet, unprepared surfaces or green concrete. Its low viscosity allows deep penetration into cracks and voids, making it ideal for structural repairs, waterproofing, and bonding in challenging conditions.
Key Features
* Rapid Cure: Achieves full strength quickly at ambient temperatures.
* Excellent Adhesion: Bonds effectively to wet, unprepared, or green concrete.
* Chemical Resistance: Withstands harsh environments.
* Low Shrinkage: Minimizes deformation during curing.
* Versatile Applications: Suitable for concrete, metal, and structural repairs.
Applications
EPOLOCK™ 1500 is widely used for:
* Concrete Repair: Floors, columns, beams, dams, and water channels.
* Crack Injection: Fills fine cracks and voids in moist or unprepared concrete.
* Structural Strengthening: Reinforces porous or low-strength concrete.
* Metal-Concrete Bonding: Bridges gaps between metal and concrete surfaces.
* Waterproofing: Creates durable seals in wet conditions.

Usage Instructions
Surface Preparation
* Concrete: Remove loose particles, dust, oil, or weak layers. Sandblasting or acid washing (followed by 24h drying for 24 hours) is recommended for optimal adhesion.
* Metal: Eliminate rust, paint, or contaminants using brushes, grinding, or sandblasting.
Mixing Ratio
* Component A (Resin): 100 parts by weight (e.g., 1500g).
* Component B (Hardener): 50 parts by weight (e.g., 750g).
* Mix thoroughly in a clean container until uniform. Add fillers gradually if needed.
Injection Method (for Cracks)
* Seal cracks with EPOLOCK™ 1100 (high-viscosity anti-sag adhesive).
* Install injection nipples at 20–40 cm intervals (closer for deeper cracks).
* Inject EPOLOCK™ 1500 from the lowest nipple until material exits adjacent ports.
* Seal nipples and repeat until the crack is fully filled.
Alternative Methods
* Capillary Action: Clean cracks with acetone, then apply adhesive with a brush.
* Heat Application: Warm concrete to 80°C to enhance penetration.
Safety & Storage
* Safety Gear: Wear gloves and goggles. Rinse skin contact with water immediately.
* Storage: Keep sealed at 25°C; shelf life of 1 year.
* Packaging: Available in 4L and 20L kits with pre-measured resin/hardener.
