It has been specifically designed as a specialized adhesive for Urochem FPO (Flexible Polyolefine) bandage systems used in potable water reservoirs as well as wastewater reservoirs, as well as for bonding of Carbon Fibre strengthening strips. It is characterized by a good working life and fast cure, and bonds to saturated concrete.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

 Specifically formulated for bonding of Urochem FPO and other polymer membranes to prepared concrete in Potable Water Reservoirs, and for bonding of carbon fibre reinforcing strips to prepared concrete.

Application for FPO Bandage system, see FPO Datasheet.  

CARBON FIBRE SYSTEMS

Consult a specialist Structural Engineer for design criteria and specific application methods, as loads on various elements play an integral role in the application of these systems.

SURFACE PREPARATION

 All surfaces to be clean, sound, and dry, free from any oil laitance, dust or curing agents. Any exposed steel must be cleaned to a bright finish before application of Urochem 230. All dust must be removed by oil free compressed air or vacuum.
