RESIMETAL 301 Epoxy Resin & Hardener –

solvent free epoxy gel for injection applications and pipe wrapping
Resimetal 301 Epoxy Resin & Hardener is a two component solvent free epoxy gel used for injection
applications, bonding of dissimilar materials and for use in conjunction with a range of tapes and fabrics to
produce high strength composite repairs.
• Apply to mechanically & abrasive blast cleaned surfaces
• Ideal for gap filling and injection applications
• Ideal for large diameter pipe wrapping
Typical Applications
Injection applications Gap filling Bonding dissimilar materials Pipe wrapping
Surface Preparation
Injection Applications Bonding of dissimilar materials Encapsulation using technical fabrics
1. Where possible all surfaces must be abrasive blast cleaned to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5 (SSPC SP10/ NACE 2)
and with a minimum blast profile of 75 microns using an angular abrasive.
2. However this product is tolerant of less than ideal surface preparation and will adhere to surfaces prepared using
Hand tools, Mechanical Tools and Hydro-blasting.
3. Where there is corrosion pitting, this should be rebuilt using Resimac 302 Epoxy Repair Cement which can also be
used to enhance adhesion onto poorly prepared surfaces.
*PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FOR THE BEST RESULTS THE REPAIR SURFACE SHOULD BE ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANED. IF USING INFERIOR
PREPARATION TECHNIQUES THIS WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.

Mixing
Prior to mixing please ensure the following:
1. The base component is at a temperature between 15-25°C (60-77F°).
2. The ambient & surface temperature is above 5°C (41F°).
Once these 2 checks have been met, please proceed with mixing the product.
1. Transfer the contents of the Activator unit into the Base container.
2. Using the spatula provided (300-450gm units) or an electric paddle mixer (6kg unit), mix the 2 components until a
uniform material free of any streaks is achieved.
3. From the commencement of mixing the whole of the material should be used within 25 minutes at 20°C (68°F).

Application
Injection Applications - dispense the product into a one component cartridge up to 1ltr volume (0.25 US gallon). Using a
single component injection pump, air fed, the material can be injected into gaps to bond dissimilar materials.
Bonding dissimilar materials – the mixed material can be used to bond a wide range of material including, concrete,
plastic and metal. Apply the product using a brush or applicator tool at a wet film thickness range of 1mm – 4mm
(40mil – 3/16”).
Encapsulation using technical fabrics – the mixed product can be used in conjunction with glass tape, glass cloth, chop
strand matting and linen scrim. The use of a technical fabric is dependent on the type of repair to be performed. Typically the
following repairs are performed with these materials –

3 layer pipe 1. Apply 301 Epoxy Resin and Hardener at 1mm (40mil) WFT
Wrap 50/100mm glass tape around pipe with a 50% overlap
wrapping
2. Apply 301 Epoxy Resin and Hardener at 500 microns (20mil) WFT
Wrap 50/100mm glass tape around pipe with a 50% overlap
3. Repeat step 2, and finish with a 500 microns (20mil) coat of 301 Epoxy Resin
3 layer pipe 1. Apply 301 Epoxy Resin and Hardener at 1mm (40mil) WFT
Cut the glass tape in to strips and lay over the surface where the 2 pipes meet
t- joint
Ensure there are at least 3 layers of 301 Resin and Glass tape around the joint area
2. Once all the t-Joint area has been coated apply 301 Epoxy Resin at 1mm (40mil) WFT to all the repair area
wrap 50/100mm glass tape around pipe with a 50% overlap
3. Repeat step 2, and finish with a 500 microns (20mil) coat of 301 Epoxy Resin

Technical Data Sheet

Coverage Rates
300gm (0.66lb) of fully mixed product will give the following coverage rates –
0.50m² at 500 microns 5.3ft² at 20mil
0.25m² at 1mm 2.7ft² at 40mil
Please note that the coverage rates quoted are theoretical and do not take into consideration the profile or
condition of the surface being repaired.

Cure Times
At 20°C (68F°) the applied materials should be allowed to harden for the times indicated below before being subjected to the
conditions indicated. These times will be extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures:
Usable life 25 minutes
Touch dry 2 hours
Hard dry 24 hours
Full cure 3 days

Pack Sizes
This product is available in the following pack sizes –
300gm (0.66lb), 450gm (0.99lb) 6kg (13.2lb)

Colour
Mixed material – Opaque
Base component – White gel
Activator component – Light yellow gel

Over-coating times
Minimum - the applied material can be over-coated as soon as it is touch dry.
Maximum - the over-coating time should not exceed 8 hours.
Where the maximum over-coating time is exceeded, the material should be allowed to harden before being abraded or flash
blasted to remove surface contamination.

Storage Life
5 years if unopened and store in normal dry conditions (15-30°C/ 60-86°F)
