QuakeBond™ J100WP (Waterproofing Primer)
DESCRIPTION
This two part waterborne epoxy coating system is easy to mix as it uses equal volumes of the resin and hardener. It applies easily over most substrates by brushing or rolling. J100WP dries quickly, usually tack free within 1-2 hours. The material has a long pot life (3 hours) which allows larger batches to be mixed. The material cleans up easily with soap and water from tools and hands.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
After mixing Parts A and B, allow 10-15 minutes "induction" time prior to use. DO NOT use liquid material beyond four hours from mixing time. Although the product appears unchanged, poor gloss and film properties will result if material is applied after the four-hour limit. Therefore, we recommend that the applicator mix only as much material as may be used within 3 hours for best results.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Do not apply to base concrete at a temperature less than 55°F.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Thorough and complete mixing is critical. A Jiffy mixer is recommended. First mix each component separately. Carefully proportion each component at the ratio of 1 parts A (resin) to 1 part B (hardener) by volume or, if using 1-gallon kits, pour all of Part B (hardener) into Part A (resin) and mix at 400-600 RPM for 3-5 minutes. No stripes or color variation should be visible in the mix. Be sure to use an up and down motion, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container. After mixing, wait 10-15 minutes before application to allow for "induction" of material. Mix no more material than may be applied in 3 hours.
PRIMING
When using J100WP as a primer, apply material at the rate of 200-250 ft² per gallon by brush or roller. If using J100WP as a primer coat for other epoxies, allow primer to cure overnight (8-10 hours) before applying other solids epoxies. When priming steel, prepare surface by sand blasting or other mechanical abrasion.
TIPS FOR USE
The mixed material may be thinned at up to 10% with water to improve penetration and allow for use with conventional and airless spray equipment. Temperature and humidity conditions affect the cure and tack free times of this material. Warm, dry conditions speed the cure and cool, damp conditions will lengthen the cure time. For best results, each component should be stirred prior to mixing.
QuakeBond™ J200TC (Tack Coat)
DESCRIPTION
QuakeBond™ J200TC (Tack Coat) is a two-component high-strength structural epoxy designed for vertical and overhead applications. J200TC has an immediate high tack consistency, allowing it to hold heavy weight fabrics impregnated with J300SR Saturating Resin in place during cure. QuakeBond™ J200TC trowels easily and has a long pot life for coverage of large areas. The convenient color-coded ("A" black and "B" white) 1:1 volumetric mix ratio is user friendly. QuakeBond™ J200TC is a 100% solids formulation with low toxicity and low odor during cure.
USE
- Adhesive for bonding external reinforcement to concrete, masonry, wood, stone, steel, etc.
- Structural bonding of carbon laminates, e.g. QuakeWrap™ DU50C.
- Structural bonding of fabrics saturated with QuakeBond™ J300SR resin on vertical and overhead surfaces.
- As a binder for epoxy mortar repairs.
ADVANTAGES
- Long pot life.
- High strength, high modulus, structural paste adhesive.
- Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeWrap™ DU50C carbon laminate plates and glass or carbon fabrics saturated with QuakeBond™ J300SR resin.

Two years in original, unopened and properly stored containers.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store at 45°–100°F (7°–38°C). Avoid freezing.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) will be supplied upon request and is included with each shipment.
- Possesses 0% volatile content per EPA Test Method 24.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp but free from standing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles and other bond inhibiting materials from the surface. Existing uneven surfaces must be filled with an appropriate repair mortar. The adhesive strength of concrete must be verified after surface preparation by random pull-off testing (ACI 503R) at the discretion of the engineer. Minimum tensile strength of 200 psi (1.4 MPa) with concrete substrate failure is required. Blast clean, shot-blast, scarify or use other approved mechanical means to clean the substrate surface. Any sharp edges (i.e. fins, form-marks, etc.) must be ground smooth and flush. Sharp edges must be rounded to a minimum radius of ¾ in. (19 mm).
APPLICATION
Apply QuakeBond™ J200TC onto the substrate with a trowel or spatula to a nominal thickness of 40 mil (1 mm). A notched trowel may be used for this application. Before the epoxy hardens, apply saturated fabric or DU50C strips to the epoxy-coated surface. The external reinforcement must not be disturbed for a minimum of 24 hours.
LIMITATIONS
Minimum application temperature of the epoxy is 40°F (4°C). DO NOT THIN this epoxy with solvents.
FIRST AID
In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush immediately. For respiratory problems, remove to fresh air. Wash clothing before reuse. Consult MSDS for detailed information.
CLEANUP
Collect with absorbent material, flush with water. Dispose of in accordance with local disposal regulations. Uncured materials can be removed with approved solvent. Cured materials can only be removed mechanically.

Combined with carbon or glass reinforcement, J300SR Saturating Resin produces fiber composite laminates with exceptional strength, durability and chemical resistance. The convenient color-coded components and the 2:1 volumetric mix ratio is user friendly. QuakeBond™ J300SR is a 100% solids formulation with low toxicity and low odor during cure.
USE
- Saturating carbon and glass fabrics for structural retrofit applications.
- Adhesive for bonding external reinforcement to concrete, masonry & wood.
- A moisture barrier (water-proofing) system in conjunction with QuakeWrap™ carbon or glass fabrics.
- As a binder for epoxy mortar repairs.
ADVANTAGES
- Long pot life.
- High strength, high modulus, low-viscosity structural adhesive.
- Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeWrap™ carbon and glass fabrics.
- Convenient easy mix ratio, 2:1 by volume.
- 100% solvent free.

- Low toxicity during cure.
COVERAGE
Applied as a saturating resin to a fabric with a density of 24 oz/yd² (813 gram/m²) achieves a yield of 75 square feet per gallon (0.55 liter per square meter). Yield varies slightly for different fabric densities.
PACKAGING
Each of the components is supplied in 55-gallon (208 L) drums or 5-gallon (19 L) containers, resulting in 165-gallon or 15-gallon kits. Ships DOT non-regulated.
MIXING
Proportion 2 parts component "A" to 1 part component "B" by volume into a clean container. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes using a paddle at low speed (400–600 rpm) drill until uniform color is achieved. Mix only the quantities that can be used within pot life.

APPLICATION
Use QuakeBond™ J300SR in conjunction with our saturating machines to impregnate carbon or glass fabrics (wet lay-up process); please contact us for detailed information on operation of saturating machines. For smaller projects, the fabrics may be saturated by hand; pour mixed J300SR onto the fabric and use a trowel or spatula to spread the resin into the fabric; it may be necessary to turn the fabric over and repeat this process, ensuring that the fabric is thoroughly saturated. Use a squeegee to remove excess resin from the fabric before installing the fabric on the structural element. Once the saturated fabric is installed, remove all entrapped air bubbles with gloved hands; a plastic laminating roller can be used as well. Do not disturb installed saturated fabric for 24 hours.
