Advantages Density 25C Approx. 1920kg/m
Easy to use - economical and fast. Setting times 25C Approx. 40-50 minutes
Simple to batch and mix. Pot life 25C >25 minutes
Versatile - has many applications.
Mix consistency can be varied at will. Results are based on normal 3.2 to 1 mix by volume:
Excellent adhesion to most building materials Temp Strengths in N/mm

High early and ultimate strengths.
Flexural 25 28
Due to the nature of the resin system, the
mechanical and chemical resistance of
CONCRESIVE 1418 is constant irrespective
of the volume of filler added provided
adequate compaction can be achieved.
CONCRESIVE 1418 has low shrinkage
properties and does not shrink at the bonded
surface. No shrinkage occurs once hardening
has taken place.

Adhesion to sound concrete: In excess of the tensile strength of concrete
Adhesion to shot blasted or heavily scored steel: 9N/mm
Chemical resistance: resists attack by sugar, salt, sewage, dairy produce, oil, petrol,
lactic acid, etc.
