Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive for Concrete Crack Monitor

Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive for Concrete Crack Monitor

Rapid-Set Epoxy is a 2 part epoxy used to quickly and securely bond crack monitors, plastic pegs and stainless steel monitor discs to a surface for monitoring cracks, all the components you need for a complete setup. The adhesive bonds to any surface and eliminates the need to drill holes.

The 0.85oz (25ml) epoxy is in a double tube that allows you to mix and apply at the same time, with a 5 minute working time. Accurate measurement of crack movement is key and this epoxy will give you a solid bond for consistent readings.

Features:

• No need to drill holes for crack monitors

• Double tube packaging for easy mixing and applying

What is Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive?

Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive is a high strength, fast drying adhesive designed for use with crack monitors in concrete structures. This 2 part epoxy resin hardens fast and gives a strong and durable bond between the crack monitor and the concrete surface. It’s versatile for many applications including monitoring cracks in buildings, bridges and foundations. Whether you have minor cracks or major structural issues Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive will keep your crack monitors in place and give you accurate and reliable data for your monitoring program.

Benefits of using Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive with Crack Monitors

Using Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive with crack monitors gives you:

• Fast and Easy to Install: The adhesive dries fast so you can install crack monitors quickly, minimize downtime and labor costs.

• High Strength Bond: The epoxy resin gives a strong and durable bond between the crack monitor and the concrete surface for accurate readings and reliable data.

• Versatile: Works on concrete, brick and masonry surfaces so it’s a flexible solution for your monitoring needs.

• Weatherability: Resistant to weathering, chemicals and other environmental factors, the adhesive will perform long term and give accurate readings even in harsh conditions.

Application and Installation of Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive for Concrete Crack Monitor

To apply Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive with crack monitors:

1. Prepare the Surface: Clean the concrete surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris or contaminants that may affect the bond.

2. Mix the Adhesive: Follow the manufacturers instructions to mix the 2 part epoxy resin correctly, make sure it’s a consistent mix.

3. Apply the Adhesive: Apply a small amount of adhesive to the back of the crack monitor, make sure it’s an even layer for maximum bonding.

4. Install the Monitor: Attach the crack monitor to the concrete surface. If necessary use screws or other fasteners to secure it in place especially on vertical or overhead surfaces and for the two overlapping acrylic plates.

5. Let the Adhesive Dry: Follow the manufacturers instructions for drying time, usually 5-10 minutes for the adhesive to set.

6. Check the Installation: Check the crack monitor to make sure it’s secure and working correctly, ready to give you accurate and reliable readings.

By following these steps and using Rapid-Set Epoxy Adhesive with crack monitors you’ll get accurate and reliable measurements of cracks in concrete structures and help maintain the integrity and safety of buildings, bridges and other concrete structures.

Full Range of Concrete Crack Monitoring Equipment

Certified Material Testing Products offers Concrete Crack Monitors as part of a full range of concrete testing equipment for roads, bridges and foundations. These monitors detect and measure cracks to ensure structural integrity and safety. Need a vandal resistant monitor? The Concrete Crack Monitor Plus is the perfect choice for monitoring cracks in corners with angles from 70° to 180°. For precise measurements use a digital caliper to fit into small holes in crack monitoring discs. The Economy Crack Comparator is for concrete cracks measurements and monitoring on a flat surface. Stainless steel discs are precision measuring points for consistent and accurate measurements. The Concrete Crack Width Gauge is for measuring widths and locations of cracks before starting a monitoring program. The Concrete Crack Displacement Monitor is for measuring horizontal and displacement movement where there is a step across a crack due to a displacement of “out-of-plane” movement.
