Concrete Epoxy Injection - Epoxy Injection Resin

Epoxy injection resin is a system for welding cracks. This welding restores the original strength and loading originally designed into the concrete. Epoxy injection restores the structural qualities and it makes the concrete as good as new.

Cracks in the concrete are a sign of failure caused by stresses, inadequate design, improper curing, etc. Cracks left unrepaired allow moisture, road salts and other contaminants to penetrate and attack the rebar.

The epoxy injection resin has two purposes. First, it effectively seals cracks to prevent the damaging moisture entry. Secondly, it monolithically welds the structure.The sealing properties of the injection prevents premature deterioration of the reinforcing.

The epoxy Injection resin systems should be of very low viscosity. That way they will flow into the thinnest hair line cracks. Resin can travel several feet from the point of injection. It may take some time before reaching the next crack or penetrating pin holes in the surface.

Epoxy Injection Systems are very effective at repairing concrete cracks, delaminations, and hollow planes. Analyses of the cracks and proper preparation are very important to insuring the maximum performance from the epoxy injection systems. Adequate equipment is also necesery. Epoxy injection has to be done correctly because there is no " Second Time ".
