APPLICATION INFORMATION

Coverage One 55 gallon drum of SikaPronto®-500 PPC resin yields approximately 31-34 ft3 of polymer concrete at a 12% resin load.

Yield is dependent on resin load. Allowance must be made for surface profile, unavoidable variation in applied film thickness, loss, and waste. Tined concrete, cracks, spalls, and pop offs will consume more material.

Ambient Air Temperature Minimum ambient air temperature of 40°F (4°C). Maximum ambient air temperature of 110°F (43°C)

Cure Time Initiator Cure Matrix Recommended dosages of SikaPronto®-500 PPC resin are designed to have a neat resin pot life of approximately 20-30 minutes.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE PREPARATION

Concrete Overlay: Surface must be clean, sound, and dry prior to application. Remove dust, laitance, grease, asphalt, curing compounds, impregnations, and waxes to expose the aggregate of the concrete deck surface.

Shot blasting, sandblasting, scarifying, chipping, or other cleaning processes (ICRI CSP 5-9) are required to provide proper surface preparation for polymer overlay.

Unsound concrete areas should be located and repaired prior to polyester application.

Patching/Nosing: Surface must be clean, sound, and dry prior to application. Remove dust, laitance, grease, asphalt, curing compounds, impregnations, and waxes to expose the aggregate of the concrete deck surface.

Shot blasting, sandblasting, scarifying, chipping, or other cleaning processes are required to provide proper surface preparation for polymer overlay. Unsound concrete areas should be located and repaired prior to polyester application.

Steel - Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning to white metal finish

MIXING

Mixing can be performed using a mortar mixer or volumetric mixing truck. Use appropriate measuring tools (i.e. syringes, pipettes, measuring cups) to properly dose SikaPronto®-500 PPC. Refer to Initiator Cure Matrix at the current ambient and substrate temperatures for the correct amounts of initator and accelerator (if needed).

For a 9 cubic foot mortar mixer, add 4 gallons of SikaPronto®-500 PPC Resin. Add 10 fl. oz. Norox® MEKP- 9 initiator to the mortar mixer. If needed, add the correct amount of DMAA accelerator to the existing resin mixture. Mix for approximately 2 minutes. While mortar mixer is turning with SikaPronto®-500 PPC Resin and initiator(s), add 2 x 50 lb bags of Stone Blend and 4 x 50 lb bags of Sand Blend. Dump mixed and catalyzed overlay/patching compound into a wheelbarrow to transport to application area.

Immediately recharge mixer with proper volume of SikaPronto®-500 PPC Resin. Continue mixing procedure ONLY if crew is ready for another mix. Temperature and application timing have a definite effect upon set time of the polyester polymer concrete and the ultimate return to service. For any alterations to the mix design please consult Sika Technical Services.

Volumetric mixers may also be utilized for high output applications. The utilization of volumetric equipment is highly recommended for large overlay projects requiring rapid return to service.

APPLICATION

Once the SikaPronto®-500 PPC is mixed it should be immediately placed onto the bridge deck. SikaPronto®- 500 PPC should only be applied onto substrates primed with SikaPronto®-19 4K while the primer is still wet. For large areas, a vibratory screed or slip form paving machine can be used while hand finishing concrete tools can be utilized for smaller patches. After the SikaPronto®-500 PPC is compacted and finished, broadcast topping sand at a rate of 1-1.5 lbs/ sq.ft. and provide mechanical texture using spring steel tines.

Typically, tines are 1/8" deep at a frequency of 3/4"-1".

Typical working time is approximately 30 minutes.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

The agitating mortar mixer with SikaPronto®-500 PPC Resin only, without catalyst, will keep your mixer clean and reduce build-up. Once application is complete, mixers can be cleaned using appropriate solvents (e.g.

Acetone, MEK, Xylene). Adding additional stone to solvent will aid in cleaning of any hardened material.

LIMITATIONS

Ambient temperature must be 40°F (4°C) or higher during application and drying time.

Working time will be greatly reduced at elevated temperatures. For warmer climates, consider a night time application.

For extreme temperatures, refer to initiator cure matrix for proper dosage of initiator and accelerator.

Provide supplemental heat and protection from precipitation as needed.

Use only on surfaces that are sound, clean, dry, and free from any residue that might affect the ability of the SikaPronto®-500 PPC to bond to the substrate.

For overlay depths over 6", contact Sika Technical Services.

Minimum age of concrete prior to the application is 21- 28 days, depending on curing and drying conditions.

Moisture content must be below 5%.▪ Allow substrate sufficient time to dry for minimum 6 hours after rain or other inclement conditions or until substrate is dry to touch and mosityre content is below 5%.

Product must be protected from freezing, if frozen discard.

Not recommended for roofing.▪ For horizontal applications only.▪ Do not use SikaPronto®-500 PPC at relative humidity > 90% or if rain is forecasted within 6 hrs of application.

Do not thin. Addition of solvents will prevent proper cure.

Addition of DMAA Accelerator is highly recommended for temperatures below 65°F (18°C).

Refer to SikaPronto®-19 4K product data sheet for use as a primer.

Not recommended for use on asphalt.▪

BASIS OF PRODUCT DATA

Results may differ based upon statistical variations depending upon mixing methods and equipment, temperature, application methods, test methods, actual site conditions and curing conditions.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

See Legal Disclaimer.

Patches can be filled to 3” depth and more. Deep areas up to 5’ x 5’ can be applied without normally impacting stiffness of the bridge deck. Design engineers should consider the semi-rigid nature of Polyester Polymer Concrete in those calculations. If design factors require a rigid patch system, utilize high alumina concrete patch systems. Properly placed high alumina concrete patch systems may be overlaid with PPC 24 hours after placement.
