PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PPCTM 1121 EC is a polyester-based polymer overlay and patching system designed for the rapid repair and rehabilitation of PCC bridge decks and pavements. PPCTM1121 EC achieves over 4000 psi in compressive strength within 24 hours as well as over 850 psi in tensile strength. Adhesion testing, in accordance with ACI 503, results in failure to PCC concrete substrate.

PPCTM 1121 EC offers some important features

•PPCTM 1121 EC has very high strength mechanical properties
•PPCTM 1121 EC has a low modulus of elasticity with correspondingly less strain to the bond

line resulting in superior adhesion

• PPCTM 1121 EC, when mixed and applied properly, withstands traffic loads within 1.5-3 hours at temperatures down to 40 F.

•PPCTM 1121 EC can be placed at thicknesses from 3/4” to 12” in a single lift
•PPCTM 1121 EC seals PCC surfaces and is a barrier to chlorides and other environmental

contaminants

• PPCTM 1121 EC technology has been in continuous use for over 25 years

For today’s congested bridges and highways, PPCTM 1121 EC is the right material for high density polymer concrete overlays. This product is extremely useful for protective overlays, patching, and pairing Portland cement concrete, latex modified concrete, or silica fume modified concrete.

Aggregates for the 1121 system have a minimum Moh hardness of 6.5. The aggregates have a low absorption and are kiln dried. The important characteristic of 1121 aggregate system is its workability and ease of compaction.

APPLICATION

Surface Preparation: Shot-blasting is the preferred method of preparation for bridge deck overlays. The goal of surface preparation is to remove all deleterious dirt, asphalt and curing compounds from the deck surface as well as expose aggregate. Sandblasting, roto-milling, chipping, or other preparation processes may be used as alternative preparation methods to provide proper surface preparation for a long-lasting polymer overlay and/or patching system. Unsound concrete areas should be located by using a chain-drag or hammer. The unsound areas must be removed until a sound concrete base is established.

Patching: After the bridge deck area to be overlayed is cleaned and prepared properly, follow the next steps to remove unsound concrete:

1. Saw cut(dry blade) a minimum ¾” depth shoulder around the edge of the prepared spall area

2. Chip out and remove delaminated surfaces

3. Blow off(sweep away) dust from saw cutting and chipping operations

4. Prime the spall with KBP 204, high molecular weight methacrylate primer

5. Mix PPCTM 1121 EC according to the mix design outlined below

6. Fill the prepared area to rough grade; screed to final grade

7. Texture finished surface with 10 x 30 sandblast sand and/or tine

8. Overlay operations are similar except screeds are set to achieve specified depth and grade profile

PPCTM 1121 EC System Primer: Mix 1 gallon KBP 204 with 3 fluid ounces of 6% Cobalt Drier(Dark Blue Material). Stir for

10 seconds. Add 3 fluid ounces of Cumene Hydro Peroxide and stir for another 30 seconds (Note:

use a mechanical agitator to stir the components). Using a paint brush or similar applicator, 3 k w i k b o n d p o l y m e r s . c o m wet-out the entire surface of the area to be repaired. KBP 204 is very fluid and will wet the surface quickly. The excess will rapidly build-up at the lowest points in the prepared

area.Minimizeexcessprimerinthedeepvalleysofareastobeoverlaidorpatched.Some

anticipated temperatures of 70 F during daytime installation conditions. Modifications may be required for working under different temperature conditions or during night time application. For very warm day time temperatures, night time application should be

considered.ReducingCHPlevelsto1flozpergallonduringelevatedtemperaturesshould

increased. Adding Kwik Bond’s Z Cure accelerator may be required.

Mix Design: To a standard mortar mixer, add 4 gallons of PPCTM Binder Resin. Begin agitation. Add 7-12 fl.oz. of DDM 9 initiator (MEKP) , depending on temperature and conditions to achieve a minimum set time of 20-40 minutes. While agitating, add 100 lbs. of KBEC 39 Coarse Aggregate. Continue Agitation. Add 200 lbs.(4 bags) of KBEC 11 Fine Sand. Mix for an additional one to two minutes and dump into a transfer device.

Follow the finishing steps described below. Approximate yield from the mix is 2.5 cubic

feet.Readthenotessectionregardingprimermixdesignandapplication.Mixdesign

lower catalyst additions may be required as well as substitution of faster catalysts for night time conditions. Temperature and application timing have a definite effect upon set time of the polyester polymer concrete and the ultimate return to service.

For high volume applications, a positive displacement, plural component pump with appropriate monitoring equipment may be added to a volumetric mixer to obtain outputs of upward of 8-10 cubic yards every 30 minutes.

Finishing: Deliver mixed material to work area. For repair of PCC spalls, fill areas to rough grade with the PPC™ 1121 EC mix. Strike-off to final grade. Lightly tamp to drive out residual air and trowel smooth. Use a small amount of Acetone solvent (MEK lacquer thinner, orange cleaner may be used) periodically to clean tools from the sticky resin.

Typical work time is 30 minutes. PPCTM 1121 EC is best placed at temperature range of 40-90 F.

For Bridge deck overlay applications, use of tandem mortar mixers and a vibratory strike off screed are typically used for small projects. Wood or pipe screeds are set to achieve the proper thickness and profile. Mixed polymer concrete is transferred to the vibratory screed using wheel barrows, ”Georgia” buggies, or bob cat loaders. The polymer concrete is raked manually in front of the screed using concrete rakes to keep an even depth of material in front of the screed. The screed is winched along at a uniform speed to produce a smooth, well-compacted final surface. The final surface should be tined and receive a broadcast sand finish to remove any excess resin glaze from the surface.

For large bridge deck or highway applications, slip form pavers have been used very successfully to pave at higher production speeds of 5-8 feet per minute, 12 feet wide. The minimum recommended thickness for the polyester polymer concrete application is ¾”. However, the 1121 EC mix can be paved from 1/4” (without the coarse aggregate) to as thick as 12”, if necessary, successfully.

For emergency situations, always have available clean water for accidental contact in the eyes, fire extinguishers, and emergency center addresses, phone numbers.

STORAGE

Aggregate, PPCTM Binder Resin, and KBP 204, high molecular weight methacrylate should be stored in a cool, dry location and in their original containers. The shelf life for these materials stored at

temperatures 80 F and below is typically 12 months or more. PPCTMBinderResinandKBP204
