Q2: How strong is the bond?
A: The bond created by EP Bond is exceptionally stronghigher than the tensile strength of good quality concrete. This means the concrete will fail before the bond does.
Q3: How long do I have to place new concrete after applying EP Bond?

Q5: How is it mixed and applied?
A: It is a two-component system (Base and Hardener). Mix the entire contents of the hardener into the base and stir until the color is uniform grey. Apply this mix by brush to the prepared old concrete surface.
Q6: What surface preparation is required?
A: The old concrete surface must be clean, rough, and dry. Loose material must be removed by sand blasting or wire brushing, and any oil/grease must be cleaned off.
Q7: Can it be used on vertical surfaces?
A: Yes, it can be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, provided the new concrete or mortar can be supported by formwork.
Q8: What is the shelf life?
A: It has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place in its original, unopened packaging.
Q9: What safety precautions are necessary?
