Salient Characteristics of Metzger/McGuire Armor Hard:

1) Essential/significant physical, functional, or performance characteristics.

a) It must be compatible with a two-component structural epoxy binder with pre-measured bag of blended sand aggregate.

b) It must be compatible with repair epoxy that early sets for:

i) Pedestrian/construction traffic in 3-4 hours

ii) Grinding/sanding in 3-4 hour

iii) Hard wheeled traffic in 8 hours or less (at 70˚F)

c) It must be compatible with repair epoxy that requires no separate primer.

d) It must be compatible with repair epoxy that has the following:

i) Compressive Strength............................................10,500 psi

ii) Tensile Strength.......................................................1,400 psi.

iii) Flexural Strength.....................................................3,700 psi

iv) Adhesive Strength..........................................Concrete breaks

v) Shore Hardness (D).......................................................D86+

vi) Working Time (as mortar)...........................30-40 mins. @ 70˚F

e) Industry/Government Standard – USDA/FDA acceptable

2) A repair epoxy that is Metzger/McGuire Armor-Hard Concrete Repair Epoxy or its equivalent is needed for this requirement. The Metzger/McGuire Armor-Hard Concrete

Repair Epoxy is an early-set system designed specifically for the repair of industrial concrete floors subject to hard wheeled traffic. The requirement will need repair epoxy capable of withstanding heavy hard wheeled traffic.
