CONCRESIVE 1315
Low viscosity epoxy resin with long pot life for crack injection

Description
CONCRESIVE 1315 is a two-component, low
viscosity epoxy resin based crack injection resin
system, with long mixed pot life designed for sealing
cracks in concrete and restoring its structural integrity.
Uses
CONCRESIVE 1315 is recommended for grouting of
0.1 mm to 10 mm wide cracks, cold joints and other
such undesirable voids in structural elements, which
are threatening the structural integrity or water
tightness. Applications include:
■ Cold joints between subsequent pours of
concrete.
■ Stabilised cracks in structural elements.
■ Unfilled voids behind tiles, stone facades.
■ Gap behind the steel plate for epoxy plate
bonding.
Standards
CONCRESIVE 1315 meets requirements of ASTM
C881, Type 1 & 4, Grade 1, Class B & C
Specification Clause
The two-component epoxy injection resin shall be
CONCRESIVE 1315, low viscosity resin system having
viscosity less than 350 cps at ambient temperatures.
The injection resin shall be high strength and shall
develop compressive strength in excess of 55 MPa at
1 day & 65 MPa at 7 days. The product shall exceed
55 MPa in flexural strength at 7 days and shall exceed
15 MPa in slant sheer bond strength. The product
shall have minimum pot life of 30 minutes at ambient
temperatures. The injection resin shall comply with
ASTM C881, Type 1 & 4, Grade 1, Class B &C. The
injection resin must have pass rating for shrinkage test
as per ASTM C881 and shall be impermeable.

Advantages Directions for use

■ Excellent bond strength restores structural Injection can be effected through ports that are glued
integrity over the crack opening or through nipples fixed in
■ High elastic modulus ensures effective transfer of holes drilled on the crack. The intervals at which the
stresses at bond interface ports or nipples are fixed depend on the severity and
extent of crack and the type of structure.
■ Low viscosity – effective penetration of even 0.1
mm cracks

Other applications: For epoxy plate bonding, fix
injection nipples into the pre-drilled holes on the plate
and seal all the gaps around the plate using
CONCRESIVE 2200i.
To fill voids behind tiles, stone facade etc., drill holes
to reach the location of void and fix nipples. At least 2
holes should be drilled to grout each void.
Mixing
Being a small pack, hand mixing is possible. Mix the
entire contents of both Base and Hardener containers
to avoid batching errors.
Placing
Place the mixed resin system into cracks or joints on
horizontal surfaces by ponding (gravity grouting) or
injection and on vertical or overhead surfaces by
injection.
To grout by gravity build a bund on either side of the
crack and pond the mixed CONCRESIVE 1315.
Scrape out the resin left over after 2-3 hours.
To grout by injection use a low pressure, air operated
injection equipment or hand operated cartridge gun
depending on the location & size of the crack.
Inject into the crack or joint starting from the widest
part if it is a horizontal surface or from the lowest point
if it is a vertical surface.
Inject in each port or nipple (keeping all others closed
except the next immediate one). When the resin starts
issuing out of the next port/nipple, close it and
continue injection until the pressure can be
maintained. After maintaining the pressure for 1 to 5
minutes to allow for total penetration, close the port
and then disconnect the pump. Continue the process
until all the ports or nipples are similarly injected.
24 hours after the injection remove all the nipples or
ports and fill in the resulting cavities with
CONCRESIVE 2200i.
Equipment
Injection: Hand operated cartridge-type gun or air
operated (pressure pot type) injection equipment.
Cleaning: Clean tools and equipment first with rags,
then wipe off using a suitable solvent such as
CLEANING SOLVENT NO. 2.

Coverage
The quantity of CONCRESIVE 1315 required is
dependent on the total volume of the void to be
grouted, absorption of the substrate, loss and
wastage.
