Features and benefits Available in 8 kg units

• High Strength
Application procedure
• Non-Slump
• Strong Adhesion Preparation of substrate:
• Chemical Resistant
• Impact Resistant • The surfaces of elements that are still in good
• Non Shrink condition or restored with MBT-MBrace Laminate
• Epoxy Based Adhesive should be profiled or roughened. With
• Easy to use degraded structures, the whole layer should be
removed by scarifying, hydrodemolition or similar and
Supplied in pre-weighed units then structural restoration carried out with e.g.,
Emaco S88C T o r Emaco S66 T.
• Remove oils, grease, dust or any other loose
material from the surface.
• Remove laitance to expose aggregate.
• Apply the layer of MBT-MBrace Primer by roller or
brush and wait until dry for the Adhesive application.

Clean up the LAMINATE surface with suitable solvent

(MEk or Acetone).
Mixing:
Coverage
Mechanically mix component A before adding component
B (mixing ratio 2A : 1B by weight).
An 8 kg pack is sufficient to cover 13m² at 1.5mm
When component B has been added, mix for thickness.
approximately 3 minutes until a smooth mix has been
obtained. Storage
Application:
Store at ambient temperatures in cool, dry warehouse
Apply one layer of MBT-MBRACE® LAMINATE conditions in manufacturer's sealed containers.
ADHESIVE 1.5 mm thick on both the surfaces (concrete
and LAMINATE). Apply MBT-MBRACE® LAMINATE and
Shelf life
using the relative roller, exert a constant pressure by
moving the tool both ways in the direction of the fibres.
Up to 12 months if stored according to manufacturer's
instructions.
Clean up.

Cleaning: Watchpoints
Tools must be cleaned immediately after use with FEB
CLEANING SOLVENT. Surfaces exposed to U.V. rays should be protected within
two days (maximum seven days) with the special product
Curing f r o m t h e M A S T E R S E A L ® line in order to ensure perfect
bonding between the protective layer and FRP.

M B T - M B r a c e ® ADHESIVE will cure at temperatures as 03/2001 MBT-ME revised 04/2002

low as 5°C although at lower temperatures cure is

retarded.
