Product Description

Buildera STRUPOXY (Aboweld 8101-5) is a commercial-grade, fast-setting, thixotropic1 (non- sagging), two-part epoxy adhesive suitable for attaching crack monitors to structural substrates such as brick, concrete, stone and other building materials. Its favorable structural properties and low water absorption make this adhesive well suited to many other uses inside and out. The proprietary formulation eliminates brittleness typical of many 5-minute epoxies. This all- weather epoxy cures even at freezing temperatures, creating a strong bond to most materials with a high lap-shear tensile strength. One tube contains approximately 25-30 cc of available material (after mixing)—typically enough for three or more crack-monitor installations. Uneven or o set surfaces may require more bridge material. 

Caution: Irritant—Keep Out of Reach of Children!

Contains epoxy resin and epoxy curing agents. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Upon eye contact, rinse eyes thoroughly and get prompt medical attention. If taken internally, consult physician. Wear particle mask when sanding. Use adequate ventilation and protective clothing. Wash contaminated clothes.
