PACKAGING	Available in 3 Gallon Units. Available in larger units on request.
CAUTION	Minimum surface application temperature is 40^oF (4^oC) Do not seal slabs on grade Material is a vapor barrier after cure Not for sealing cracks under hydrostatic pressure Minimum age of concrete must be 21 - 28 days Test for surface vapor transmission. Moisture passing through the substrate by pressure during the application and curing will cause bond failures Due to many variables in bonding on damp or underwater surfaces, be certain to test application under the same conditions as full-scale work

TEMPERATURES

Will cure at temperatures as low as 40^oF(4^oC), providing the temperature will be 40^oF and rising during the next 72 hours. Epoxy materials should be stored at least 24 hours prior to use at 80^oF(26^oC),or higher. Epoxies stored below 60^oF(15^oC),will cause the epoxy to thicken substantially, making it difficult to properly blend the two materials and obtain a proper mating of resin and hardener. Protect from inclement weather and freezing. If product temperature falls below 50^oF(10^oC), it is recommended that a product temperature of 80^oF(26^oC) be obtained prior to using. Store dry at 40^oF(4^oC) - 100^oF(38C^o). Condition to 70^oF(26C^o) - 85^oF(29^oC) before using.

CAUTION -FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY:
FORTRESS FIBER MATRIX epoxies contain alkaline amines. Strong sensitizer MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION or allergic response ranging from a mild wheezing to a severe asthmatic type attack. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. IN CASE OF CONTACT immediately wash skin with soap and water. Flush eyes with water and obtain medical attention. Wear protective clothing, goggles and barrier cream on all exposed skin.Provide adequate ventilation.
