2、y Resin Adhesives AASHTO Designation: M 235M/M 235-131ASTM Designation: C881-10 1. SCOPE 1.1. This specification covers two-component epoxy resin bonding systems for application to portland cement concrete, which are able to cure under humid conditions and bond to damp surfaces. 1.2. The values stat

3、ed in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Some values have only SI units because the inch-pound equivalents are not used in practice. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; th

4、erefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this standard. 1.3. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of th

Note 1Epoxy resin systems will adhere to a wide variety

26、 of materials, including wood, metals, masonry, and most plastics. Polyethylene, TFE-fluorocarbon, cellophane, and greased or waxed surfaces are among the few materials to which these systems will not adhere. 4.3. GradesThree grades of systems are defined according to their flow characteristics and

27、are distinguished by the viscosity and consistency requirements of Table 1. 4.3.1. Grade 1Low viscosity. 4.3.2. Grade 2Medium viscosity. 4.3.3. Grade 3Non-sagging consistency. 4.4. ClassesClasses A, B, and C are defined for Types I through V, and Classes D, E, and F are defined for Types VI and VII,

28、 in accordance with the range of temperatures for which they are suitable (Note 2). 4.4.1. Class AFor use below 40F 4C, with the lowest allowable temperature to be defined by the manufacturer of the product. 4.4.2. Class BFor use between 40 and 60F 4 and 15C. 4.4.3. Class CFor use above 60F 15C, wit

29、h the highest allowable temperature to be defined by the manufacturer of the product. 4.4.4. Class DFor use between 40 and 65F 4 and 18C for Type VI and VII applications. 4.4.5. Class EFor use between 60 and 80F 15 and 30C for Type VI and VII applications. 4.4.6. Class FFor use above 75F 25C for Typ

30、e VI and VII applications, with the highest allowable temperature to be defined by the manufacturer of the product. Note 2The temperature in question is usually that of the surface of the hardened concrete to which the bonding system is to be applied. This temperature may be considerably different f

31、rom that of the air. Where unusual curing rates are desired, it is possible to use a class of bonding agent at a temperature other than that for which it is normally intended. For example, a Class A system will cure rapidly at room temperature. 4.5. ColorEpoxy resin systems are normally unpigmented,

32、 but they can be colored or darkened. If a specific color is desired, it should be so stated by the purchaser. 5. ORDERING INFORMATION 5.1. The purchaser shall specify the type, grade, class, and color of bonding system desired and the size of units in which the components shall be furnished. Specia

33、l requirements regarding filling of either the components or the final bonding system should be stated. The product furnished under this specification is intended to be resistant to moisture and therefore should be suitable for either indoor or outdoor exposure. 2015 by the American Association of S

34、tate Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4c M 235M/M 235-5 AASHTO 5.2. The purchaser may specify a minimum gel time of 5 min for Types I and IV when automatic proportioning, mixing, and dispensing equipment are used. 6. MATERIALS

35、AND MANUFACTURE 6.1. The systems covered by this specification shall be furnished in two components for combining immediately prior to use in accordance with written instructions of the formulator. Component A shall contain an epoxy resin with or without a reactive diluent. Component B shall contain

36、 one or more curing agents, which on mixing with Component A shall cause the mixture to harden. A suitable inert filler may be uniformly incorporated in one or both components. The filler shall be either nonsettling or readily dispersible in any component in which it is incorporated. All systems sha

37、ll cure under humid conditions and bond to damp surfaces. 7. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION 7.1. The epoxy-resin constituent of Component A shall have an epoxy equivalent of 155 to 275. 8. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 8.1. A mixture of Components A and B in the proportions recommended by the formulator shall conform t

38、o the properties prescribed in Table 1. 9. SAFETY HAZARDS 9.1. CautionEpoxy resins contain irritants, especially to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Persons handling these materials shall use appropriate protective clothing, including rubber or plastic gloves. If an epoxy resin should contact

39、 the skin, it shall be removed immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel, and the area of contact washed thoroughly with soap and water. Solvents shall not be used, because they carry the irritant into the skin. Cured epoxy resins are innocuous. 10. SAMPLING 10.1. Take a representative sample of e

40、ach of the two components from a well-blended lot prior to packaging or by withdrawing samples from no fewer than 5 percent of the containers comprising the lot or shipment. Unless the samples of the same component taken from containers show visual evidence of variability, they may be combined into

41、a single composite sample. In place of the foregoing, packaged materials may be sampled by a random selection of containers of each component from each lot, provided such a procedure is acceptable to the purchaser. 11. TEST METHODS 11.1. ConsistencyTest method to determine the consistency of an epox

42、y resin system. 11.1.1. ScopeThis test provides a method for determining the consistency of Grade 3 epoxy resin systems. 11.1.2.

44、el. 11.1.3.4. ConditioningCondition the individual components and any equipment with which they will come in contact to the following temperatures: Class A, 32 2F 0 1C; Class B, 50 2F 10 1C; Class C, 73 2F 23 1C; Class D, 65 2F 18 1C; Class E, 80 2F 27 1C; Class F, 90 2F 32 1C, or the temperature at

45、 which the material will be used (Note 2). 11.1.4. ProcedurePrepare approximately 30 mL of the bonding system. Weigh the necessary amounts of the components to an accuracy of 1 percent into a single approximately 100-mL 3-oz unwaxed paper cup. Mix immediately with a wooden tongue depressor or stick

46、of similar size. Note the time at which mixing begins. Mix for 3 min, taking care to scrape the side and bottom of the cup periodically. Immediately apply about 2 mL of the mixture to a glass panel. Form a semicylindrical bead of the bonding system by drawing the applicator blade through the sample

47、in a straight line with the panel horizontal. Immediately raise the panel to a position inclined no greater than 10 degrees from vertical and with the bead horizontal. Maintain the panel and sample at their original temperature until the bonding system has cured, as determined by an inability to ind

48、ent it appreciably with a pencil point or fingernail. Determine the consistency by measuring the flow of the lower edge of the bead from its original position at three points along its length. 11.1.5. ReportReport the average value to the nearest 1 mm 1/8in. 11.1.6. Precision and Bias: 11.1.6.1. PrecisionThe precision of the procedure in this test method for consistency is being determined. 11.1.6.2. BiasThis test method has no bias because t
