MATERIAL & METHOD STATEMENT

Type of Defect : Crack

(Map, craze, drying or plastic shrinkage)

Repair Technique : Low Pressure Epoxy Injection

INJECTION SYRINGE

This outline describes the filling of cracks by low pressure injection of cracks with epoxy resin.

1. Preparation of the surface for basic work.

2. Deciding the location for installing rack
3. Seal the region around the crack
4. Attaching the plate for fixing crack
5. Injection Epoxy
6. Finishing Work
 I. Preparation of the surface for basic work.

Check the state, width and depth of crack before working

and decide work process. First of all, remove the dust and
foreign substances around the region of sealing by using
spatula or wire brush and if there are oily substance including
oil attached on the surface, remove the dirt on the surface
completely using air compressor.

II. Deciding the location for installing rack

Decide the suitable interval for installation of plate for fixing

straight washer depending on the state and depth of cracks.
Generally, it is attached at about 20cm’s interval and interval
maybe enlarged according to the state of crack.

III. Seal the region around the crack

In order for the epoxy injection material not be leaked, seal the
region along the crack evenly with epoxy mortar by using a spatula.

IV. Attaching the plate for fixing crack

Apply adhesive mortar to the below side of straight washer’s

edge evenly rolling sealant and attach straight washer on the
installation location as twisting straight washer a little .
(Hardening takes about 24 hours at 25 degree Celsius)
V. Injection Epoxy

After mixing epoxy injection material 2 to 1 in stirring container

(small basin) completely and put about 30cc of epoxy injection
material into injection capsule and then hang rubber band on
the straight washer

*When you hang injection capsule with rubber band, support the
other side to prevent leaking due to the raising of the other side.
*If there is air in the injection, expel the air.

VI. Finishing Work

Remove injection capsule and straight washer after confirming

hardening of injection material. Clean the surface by surface
grinder,spatula and grinder and finish it as almost original state
by using of one coat crack covering material, or paint (after applying)
and other material.

*If you use torch to remove injection capsule, epoxy sealant and
straight washer, it may cause the risk of fire and burning epoxy.
