`n As a bonding agent for placing fresh, plastic concrete to existing hardened concrete.
`n Excellent adhesion to concrete and steel.
`n Acts as an effective barrier against penetration of water and chlorides.
`n Long open time - up to 16 hours.
`n Not a vapor barrier.
`n Can be used exterior on-grade.
`n Contains corrosion inhibitors.
`n Excellent bonding bridge for cement or epoxy based repair mortars.
`n High strength, unaffected by moisture when cured.
`n Spray, brush or roller application.

`Bonding agent: minimum (theoretical) on smooth, even substrate 80 sq. ft./gal. (=20 mils thickness).
`Coverage will vary depending on substrate profile and porosity.
`Reinforcement Protection: 40 sq. ft./gal. (=20 mils thickness) (2 coat application).

`Mixing
`
`Application
`
`How to Use
`Surface Preparation Cementitious substrates: Should be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant-
`free surface prepared in accordance with the requirements specified by the overlay or repair material
`by blast cleaning or equivalent mechanical means. Substrate must be saturated surface dry (SSD)
`with no standing water.
`Steel: Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning.
`Shake contents of both Component ‘A’ and Component ‘B’. Empty entire contents of both Component ‘A’
`and Component ‘B’ into a clean, dry mixing pail. Mix thoroughly for 30 seconds with a Sika paddle on a
`low speed (400-600 rpm) drill. Slowly add the entire contents of Component ‘C’ while continuing to mix
`for 3 minutes until blend is uniform and free of lumps. Mix only that quantity that can be applied within
`its pot life.
`As a bonding agent - Apply by stiff-bristle brush or broom. Spray apply with Goldblatt Pattern Pistol
`or equal equipment. For best results, work the bonding slurry well into the substrate to ensure complete
`coverage of all surface irregularities. Apply the freshly mixed patching mortar or concrete wet on wet,
`or up to the maximum recommended open time, onto the bonding slurry.
`Maximum recommended open time between application of Armatec 110 and patching mortar or
`concrete:
`80°-95°F (26°-35°C)
`65°-79°F (18°-26°C)
`50°-64°F (10°-17°C)
`40°-49°F (4°-9°C)

`12 hours

`First Aid
`
`Clean-Up
`
`For corrosion protection only - Apply by stiff-bristle brush or spray at 80 sq. ft./gal. (20 mils). Take
`special care to properly coat the underside of the totally exposed steel. Allow coating to dry 2-3 hours
`@ 73°F, then apply a second coat at the same coverage. Allow to dry again before the repair mortar or
`concrete is applied. Pour or place repair within 7 days.
`n Substrate and ambient temperature: Minimum 40°F (5°C)
`n Maximum 95°F (35°C)
`n Minimum thickness: As a bonding agent 20 mils.
`n For reinforcement protection 40 mils
`n (2 coats, 20 mils each).
`n Not recommended for use with expansive grouts.
`n Use of semi-dry mortars onto Sika Armatec 110 EpoCem must be applied "wet on wet".
`n When used in overhead applications with hand placed patching mortars, use "wet on wet" for maximum
`mortar build thickness.
`n Substrate profile as specified by the overlay or repair material is still required.
`n As with all cement based materials, avoid contact with aluminum to prevent adverse chemical reaction and
`possible product failure. Insulate potential areas of contact by coating aluminum bars, rails, posts etc. with
`an appropriate epoxy such as Sikadur Hi-Mod 32.
`Part A & B: IRRITANT; SENSITIZER - Can cause skin sensitization after prolonged or repeated contact.
`Skin and eye irritant. High concentrations of vapor may cause respiratory irritation. Avoid skin contact. Use
`only with adequate ventilation. Use of safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves is recommended.
`Part C: IRRITANT; SUSPECT CARCINOGEN - Contains crystalline silica, quartz (sand); cement. Skin and
`eye irritant. Dust may cause respiratory tract irritation. Avoid breathing dust. Use only with adequate
`ventilation. May cause delayed lung injury (silicosis). IARC list crystalline silica as having sufficient evidence
`of carcinogenicity to laboratory animals and limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. NTP also lists
`crystalline silica as a suspect carcinogen. Use of safety gloves is recommended. In case of high dust
`concentrations or exceedance of PELs, use an appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.
`In case of eye contact, wash immediately with soap and water for 15 minutes; immediately consult a
`physician. In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water; consult a physician for irritation. For respiratory
`problems, remove person to fresh air and institute artificial respiration if necessary; consult a physician. In
`case of ingestion, immediately consult a physician. Wash clothing before reuse.
`In case of spills or leaks, wear suitable protective equipment, contain spill, collect with absorbent material,
`and transfer to a suitable container. Ventilate area. Avoid contact. Dispose of in accordance with current,
`applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
