Technical Data Sheet

High Molecular Weight Methacrylate (HMWM) Crack Sealer


Sealate® (T-70-10 and T-70 MX-30)
Sealate® is a specially formulated, high molecular weight methacrylate resin system that is highly effective for sealing and
filling cracks in concrete structures.
Application Procedure
Surface Preparation: It is strongly recommended that all concrete surfaces that are to receive Sealate® be thoroughly clean
and sound. Remove all surface dirt, grease, paint, rust, and other contaminates by sand blasting or shot blasting. Applications
on LMC overlays do not require blasting or mechanical abrasion, the surface can be high pressure washed to remove
contamination. Before application of Sealate® the surface must be dry for 24 hours and just prior to application cracks should
be cleaned with dry high pressure compressed air. The concrete surface should be visibly dry and the moisture content in the
concrete should be tested according to ASTM D4263. The ambient temperature should be between 50ºF and 100ºF prior to
resin application.
Mixing: Table 1 lists the mixing ratios of the two curing agents. Add the appropriate amount of Cobalt Napthenate promoter
to Sealate® resin and mix well. Then add the corresponding amount of CHP initiator, stir again for approximately one to two
minutes. If mechanically applied, the resin should be mixed utilizing a two component resin system using promoted resin for
one part and initiated resin for the other part. Mixing ratio of promoted/initiated resin should be 1:1. The mixed resin should
be applied to the concrete surface within five minutes of complete mixing.

Table 1: Mixing Instructions for Sealate®, Cobalt Napthenate and CHP


Sealate® (gal) Cobalt Napthenate (mL) CHP (mL)
1 75 150
5 375 750
CAUTION: Never mix CHP initiator with Cobalt promoter. A violent reaction will result!

Application: The rate of application of mixed resin should be approximately 100-150 square feet per gallon. However, this
will vary depending on the surface, porosity, size, and quantity of cracks present in the area being treated.
During application, the concrete surface should be flooded with the resin, allowing sufficient time for penetration into the
surface and complete filling of all cracks. Excess material should be redistributed using squeegees or brooms within 15
minutes after application. The quantity of initiated/promoted resin mixed at one time should be limited to five gallons.
Broadcasting of Aggregate: Broadcast sand should be applied to the entire treated area prior to cure, typically at 1-2
pounds per square yard. The sand used should be 12 x 16 mesh, #1 or #2 blasting sand, and should have a maximum moisture
content no greater than 0.5%. It should be placed within 15 minutes of the resin application and before any setting of
monomer occurs. Traffic can be restored once the concrete surface is cured tack-free. Refer to Table 2 for temperature
restrictions and cure times.

Table 2: Cure Times for Sealate®


Ambient Temperature Approximate Cure Time
T-70-10 T-70 MX-30
50°F – 70°F 7 – 12 hr 8 – 16 hr
70°F – 100°F 4 – 7 hr 5 – 8 hr
*Cure times are approximate and will vary with ambient and deck temperature, humidity, and sunlight. Structures can
be opened to traffic only after complete cure is achieved.

Packaging
Sealate® comes in one, five and fifty-five gallon containers. The initiator, Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) and the Cobalt
Napthenate promoter are provided in separate labeled containers and in pre-measured quantities to make scale mixes of
Sealate®.

Storage
Sealate® should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a dry location and at normal room temperatures (50ºF - 85ºF). The
initiator, Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) and the Cobalt Napthenate promoter are provided in separate labeled containers, and
should be stored in a cool shaded area separately from each other as well as away from the monomer.

Caution
Direct contact with Sealate® may produce minor skin irritations to persons prone to such reactions. It is recommended that all
persons involved in mixing and application wear protective clothing such as goggles, rubber boots, and rubber gloves. As with
all chemicals, read SDS prior to use.
