DESCRIPTION
RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL is a two part, 100% solids epoxy
formulation specifically designed for underwater applications on steel, concrete and masonry surfaces. RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL can be used neat or with an aggregate as a protective coating or repair mortar to protect against damage and erosion in splash zone areas

USES
RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL is used to coat or repair concrete and steel materials in underwater and splash zone applications providing protection against corrosion, erosion and deterioration from salt or fresh water.

COMPOSITION AND MATERIAL
RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL is a 100% solids formulation consisting of epoxy resins, hardeners and inert fillers.

COLORS
The standard color of RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL is Light Gray. Special colors are available subject to minimum order quantities.

Material Properties at 75° F

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be structurally sound, clean, free of loose or deteriorated
concrete or coatings, marine growth or any other material which would
impair adhesion. Sand blasting or high pressure water blasting are
preferred methods of surface preparation.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL should be conditioned at temperatures above 70ºF for 24 hours prior to mixing. For underwater applications, RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GELshould be mixed above water and then transported below water. Premix Part A (Base) and Part B (Hardener)
individually. Then combine Part A and Part B in equal portions by volume in a clean container. Mix thoroughly with a slow speed motor and “Jiffy” type mixer. Scrape the side of the container at least once during mixing. Mortar Grout: A mortar grout can be made by mixing clean, dry silica sand with an equal volume of RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL.

APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Apply RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL at water and surface temperatures of 55ºF or higher. Mix the GEL above water and transport underwater after mixing. Prime the surface by scrubbing the surface with neat RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL. Apply by pressing the RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL, neat or mixed with aggregate, onto the surface with gloved hand or trowel. Work the GEL firmly into the surface to displace water. Build up the material to the desired thickness. The mortar grout (1:1 by volume) should be used for deep patching and the repair should be made in lifts of no more than 1.0 inch at a time. Allow each lift to achieve initial set prior to applying the next lift.
Horizontal Anchor Bolt Grouting: Before grouting ensure the anchor hole is free of all debris and foreign objects. Prime by scrubbing the anchor bolt hole with neat RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL. Fill approximately half the hole with the GEL and push the anchor bolt into the hole, twisting the bolt to make sure full contact is made. Pack the hole with additional gel to finish flush with the substrate.

COVERAGE
RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL coverage rates are approximate and will vary with temperature, surface porosity and texture. Following is the
approximate coverage on a smooth surface:

One gallon of GEL mixed with one gallon of dry aggregate will yield
approximately 1.6 gallons of mortar.

CLEAN-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Clean tools and application equipment immediately after use with xylene or a similar solvent. Clean spills and drips while still wet with solvent. Dried RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL will require mechanical abrasion for
removal.

CAUTIONS
Do not thin or dilute AQUASEAL. Do not mix or apply below 55ºF. Use only clean, oven dry aggregate to produce mortar. RIGHT-POXY UNDERWATER GEL is not designed to resist hydrostatic pressure from the negative side. Agitation of the product once under water should be minimized. When applying in a splash zone, protection should be provided from wave action under the product has reached initial cure (8-10 hours). Due to the many variables that exist in underwater applications, a test application under job site conditions is recommended prior to the start of every project to evaluate both application techniques and adhesion properties.
