Penatron 3003

Product Description

Penatron 3003 Aromatic is a "Slow Set Polyurea” designed for use in interior Control Joints and concrete repair.  It is a 5 to 8 minute quick set, flexible 1:1 polyurea system.  This two-part polyurea is 100% solids and designed to be self-leveling, hand mixed or machine dispensed.   

Penatron 3003 is used for rapid installations in control joints and other concrete structures where short down-time is important and the environmental temperatures limit the use of other polymer products.  The product can be driven over in 30 to 45 minutes after installation.

Cold Temperature Applications:  Penatron may be used in cold temperature applications well below zero °F. Set times change very little in cool temperatures and flexibility is maintained. 

Penatron 3003 exhibits excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals and abrasive conditions.  It is used for installation areas that require a fast set and high strength flexible joint filler that provides "load transfer” across a standard saw cut control joint. 

Speed & Set Time:  5-8 minutes 

Moisture Vapor Reduction:  Penatron 3003 is compatible with CMW used in joints to reduce moisture vapor pressure on joint products.  

Cold Applications:  When using this product in below zero applications, keep the product and equipment warm, and warm the product to 80°F- 90°F  before using.

Color:  Black (B), Gray (3003-21).  

Note:  Aromatic systems will shift color from exposure to UV.  Dark color resists color change more than light colors.  Aliphatic top coats are often used to provide stable color.

Preparation: Concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure prior to application.  Use a dry diamond saw, saw/abrade both sides of the joint walls.   Assure that the joint is properly abraded and cleaned to full depth—approximately 1.25 inches as a standard depth of fill.  Remove any curing agent, form release materials, oils, wax, moisture or any material that may affect bonding.  Clean, vacuum and wash to remove dust from the walls of the joint.  No Backer rod is used in control joints, only in construction joints to control depth.

*Areas of high moisture vapor may be pre-treated with CMW (see data sheet) to reduce moisture vapor pressure in the joint area.

IMPORTANT:  MIXING ORDER – Jiffy Mixer and Drill Motor Mixing
Part A must be in the mixing pail first and the jiffy mixer MUST be moving and mixing the part WHILE the equal amount of Part B is evenly poured into the moving part A.  DO NOT reverse this mixing order.  Once Part B has been added to the moving Part A, mix the A & B at full speed, moving the Jiffy mixer up, down and around the mixing pail.  Mix for no more than 60 seconds, then pour into application IMMEDIATELY—DO NOT WAIT.

Application:  Use an ASTC recommended 1:1 application machine or equal.
Make sure the product is over 72°F before beginning the machine application.  Warm the product in the containers as needed to pre-condition as required.   
Use ONLY the ASTC recommended mixing wand for this product.  Failure to use proper mixers may result in improperly mixed product and/or poor curing.  Use two 1/2 x 36 inch element static mixers connected with a 1/4 inch pipe nipple and a metal joint "tracker" on the end of the static mixer. 

Fill the joint from the bottom of the joint.  Make the application with a slight over-pour, and then trim the over-pour from the joint area 45 to 50 minutes after installation.  Use a very sharp razor cutter to make the cut.

Limitations:  Do not use on wet surfaces or expose part A to moisture.  Keep out of direct sunlight and store ten gallon kits on wood pallets at room temperature.  Warm product kits on pallets before using.  Protect from cold conditions when using this product in cold storage.  Always mix part B before using.  

Shelf Life:  1 year; store between 40°F and 100°F.
 
Finish:  Finished mat texture is obtained by shearing or trimming the over-pour to finished grade.
 
Packaging: 10 & 110 gallon kits

VOC Content:  0gms/1 or 0.0 lbs/gal

Pot Life:  Two minutes

Curing Time:  45 minutes to 50 minutes
