About CICO POXY-21LV
CICO POXY 21 LV is a two component solventfree, low viscosity, Free flowing, and normalcuring epoxy resin system designed speciallyfor pressure injection intoconcrete for carryingout structural repairs. Due to its low viscosity itcan be injected in to extremely fine cracks also.The cured resin possesses high mechanicalstrength, excellent adhesion, practically noshrinkage and a chemical resistance typical ofall epoxy resin system. Fine cracks and smallvoids can be successfully sealed with CICOPOXY 21 LV. Although CICO POXY 21 LV hasvery high strength, the cured material is notbrittle and remains slightly flexible. CICO POXY21 LV is supplied in premeasured quantities ascomponent A-Resin and Component BHardener.
Versatile Applications for Structural RepairsEngineered for a range of civil construction needs, CICO POXY-21LV excels in grouting, crack injection, and bonding old and new concrete surfaces. Its excellent adhesive properties ensure stable repairs and long-lasting durability for infrastructures, supporting both minor and significant restoration tasks with reliable performance.
Rapid Setting and High StrengthThis epoxy resin system offers initial curing within 6 to 8 hours and achieves full strength in 7 days, allowing for timely project completion. With compressive strength above 70 N/mm2 and bond strength greater than 2 N/mm2, CICO POXY-21LV delivers robust reinforcement and exceptional load-bearing capability.
Ease of Use and Safe HandlingThe product's liquid consistency and clear appearance facilitate precise application in complex structural repairs. It is formulated to be non-poisonous and emits a mild, characteristic odor, supporting safe handling during mixing and usage. Available packing sizes accommodate a variety of project scales and requirements.
FAQ's of CICO POXY-21LV:
Q: How is CICO POXY-21LV used for crack injection and structural repairs?
A: CICO POXY-21LV is injected into cracks or voids in concrete structures using standard injection equipment. Its low viscosity ensures deep penetration, while its strong adhesive qualities bond fractured surfaces, restoring structural integrity and preventing water ingress.
Q: What is the recommended mixing ratio for CICO POXY-21LV, and why is it important?
A: For optimal performance, mix the resin and hardener in a 2:1 ratio by volume. Accurate mixing is crucial to achieve the desired strength, pot life, and curing characteristics specified for professional-grade structural repairs.
Q: When does CICO POXY-21LV reach full curing, and how long should repaired areas be protected?
A: Initial curing occurs within 6 to 8 hours at 25C, but full mechanical and chemical strength is achieved after 7 days. It is recommended to protect repaired areas from heavy loads or exposure until the curing process is complete.
Q: Where should CICO POXY-21LV be stored, and what is its shelf life?
A: Store CICO POXY-21LV in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. In unopened containers, the product remains viable for up to 12 months.
Q: What are the main benefits of using CICO POXY-21LV in civil engineering projects?
A: Key benefits include high compressive and bond strength, excellent adhesion to concrete surfaces, low viscosity for easy application, fast curing times, and strong resistance to chemicals, making it ideal for demanding structural repairs and crack sealing.
Q: Is CICO POXY-21LV safe to use, and does it have a strong odor?
A: CICO POXY-21LV is non-poisonous and emits only a mild, characteristic smell, making it suitable for use in civil construction environments with standard safety precautions.
