Test Data
Results provided by licensed engineering test laboratory and represent typical results from production materials. Actual results may vary from third party testing results; however, CERATECH’s materials meet and/or exceed established internal quality control standards, (available upon request) . All samples were air cured.

Site Preparation
Surfaces should be prepared in accordance with ICRI 03730, “Guide for Surface Preparation for the Repair of Deteriorated Concrete Resulting from Reinforcing Steel Corrosion.” and / or ACI 546R-96 “ Concrete Repair Guide”. Concrete surface should be prepared by appropriate mechanical methods to obtain an exposed aggregate surface with a minimum surface profile of +/- 1/16” (1.5 mm) in accordance with ICRI 03732. Pre-existing coatings or surface treatments should be completely removed. Dry, clean, stable surfaces are required. Remove all standing water. Reinforcing steel should have no loose scale.

• Loosen material by tumbling bucket & dry mixing before adding water.
• To ensure product performance, DO NOT divide or separate individual units into smaller portions. MIX ENTIRE CONTENTS AT ONE TIME.
• A drill (6 amp minimum) with a mixer blade turning at least 500 to 800 rpm is required. Drills with speeds greater than 800 RPMs may entrain air in the mix.
• Multiple units, up to four, may be combined and mixed simultaneously.
• DO NOT HAND MIX
• To begin the mixing process, add the proper amount of water:
  

  For Each	Add
  45 lb (20.4 kg) 5 gallon (18.9 L) plastic bucket	1 U.S. gallon (3.8 L) of water
  45lb (20.4 kg) bag	1 U.S. gallon (3.8 L) of water

  
  
• The desired water temperature is between 60°F/16°C and 72°F/22°C.
• DO NOT USE WATER ABOVE 85°F/29°C
• After adding the water, it is very important to rapidly incorporate all of the dry SURFIX™ powders into water to achieve a uniform wet mixture within the first 30 seconds of mixing.
  

1. Measure and note mixture temperature 30 seconds after adding water and mixing. Mix until a 10°F/5°C rise in temperature is obtained, but never less than 4 minutes.

• Working times are influenced by surface temperature and repair profile.
• Minimum application profile thickness is 0.38” (10 mm). There are no restrictions to the depth of the repair profile.
• Upon initial set of Surfix™, a broom finish can be applied.
• At 24 hours, Surfix™ can be saw-cut, drilled, sanded and/or polished.
• Do not re-temper. The addition of water to the surface of the repair will negatively affect the materials final properties.
• General loading for foot traffic 3 hours, wheeled traffic in 6 hours after final set
• All previously existing joints must be re-established within 3 - 6 hours of final set.
• Self-curing
• Clean all tools and equipment with water prior to the material reaching final set.

• See Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
• Dispose of water materials in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulations.
• The use of a dust mask, safety goggles and gloves is recommended.
• Keep out of reach of children.
