Has your production schedule been
disrupted by constant showers?
Have you had product rejected
due to adhesion problems?
Have you had to do rework
because the material was not properly mixed?
Have you considered the liability
issue if your workers become sensitized?
Have your workers struggled to
make it work properly because it is too hot or too cold?
ACE Epoxy Mortar was developed at the
request of a major NSW manufacturer of Super T concrete bridge beams in NSW to
address the problems they were experiencing with other products.
Developed by our Dr. Bruce McConkey in
conjunction with our German raw material suppliers, ACE Epoxy Mortar
substantially overcomes all these problems. The use of modern chemicals
means it adheres well to damp or green concrete, tolerates wide variations in
the mixing ratio, is much easier to mix in cold temperatures and still easy to
apply in hot temperatures. Unlike competing epoxy products, it has very
low allergic sensitization potential.
At Structural Concrete Industries near
Newcastle NSW, production was frequently disrupted by rain showers which made it
very difficult to get the existing products to adhere to the tendon faces.
In winter, their workforce had to heat the existing product with a gas heater to
make it workable, causing dangerous fumes, and on hot days in mid summer it
became so thin that they could not achieve the required thickness on the beam
faces. Their workers measured the part A and part B by eye, which caused
wide variations in ratio which with some products caused a dramatic reduction in
strength and sometimes failures. They tried all the then available products but
none provided relief from the all the problems.
SCI have now used ACE Epoxy Mortar on all their Super 'T' tendons now for over 4 years now.
