Coverage at 1” thick (2.5 cm):</p> <p>6.6 ft2 (0.61 m2)</p> <p>Note: Actual coverage may vary due to surface profile.</p> <p>Substrate Preparation: <br />• Substrates must be of load bearing capacity, and free from all potential <br />bond breakers such as dirt, dust, grease, oil, sealers, curing compounds, <br />laitance, loose or deteriorated concrete and any bond-inhibiting <br />substances. <br />• Areas designated to receive repairs must remain structurally sound <br />and stable during demolition and surface preparation work, and these <br />conditions must continue throughout the course of the repair work. Any <br />areas of concern or uncertainty should be discussed immediately with <br />the site Superintendent and brought to the attention of the Engineer of <br />record. <br />• Mechanically remove all loose and deteriorated concrete by suitable <br />means such as chipping hammer, chisel, steel shotblast, high pressure <br />water blast (>5000 psi), or similar methods. Refer to ICRI Guideline <br />310.1R-2008. <br />• Areas to receive repairs must have saw cut straight edges. Minimum <br />depth is 1/4” (6 mm) without aggregate extension. When extending <br />Pavemend SLQTM with aggregate, minimum depth is 1” (25 mm). <br />• Mechanically prepare surfaces to achieve a surface profile equal to CSP <br />(concrete surface profile) of 5 – 7 per ICRI Guideline No. 310.2R-2013. <br />Steel shot blasting and high pressure water blasting (>5000 psi) are the <br />preferred methods. <br />• If required by specification, prime exposed steel reinforcement with <br />REBAR PRIMER/BOND-CI. Refer to the current REBAR PRIMER/BONDCI Technical Data Sheet for application instructions including steel <br />reinforcement surface preparation and other important information. <br />• Clean properly prepared concrete surfaces with plenty of water. <br />High pressure water blasting (hydroblasting) is the preferred method <br />of cleaning. Pressure washing is also acceptable when hydroblasting <br />methods are not possible. <br />• All surfaces to be repaired should be saturated surface dry (SSD) <br />but have no standing water immediately before the application of <br />Pavemend SLQTM. <br />Jobsite Conditions & Preparation: <br />• Prepare application area, mixing stations, equipment, tools and crew so <br />that everything is ready to go prior to mixing Pavemend SLQTM. <br />• Mixing stations should be located right next to each area that will receive <br />repairs. Large individual repairs will likely require multiple mixing stations. <br />• Only proceed with application when ambient and surface temperatures <br />are at least 0°F (-18°C) and below 110°F (43°C). <br />• For normal temperature conditions [60°F to 75°F (16°C to 24°C)], <br />the water temperature for mixing Pavemend SLQTM should be between <br />65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). It is recommended to slightly adjust the <br />temperature of the water so that the temperature of the conditioned dry <br />product and the water temperature average out to approximately 70°F <br />(21°C). Example: if the temperature of dry Pavemend SLQTM is 65°F <br />(18°C), the ideal mixing water temperature is 75°F (24°C).</p> <p>• WARM and HOT weather applications: <br />• F or WARM and HOT weather applications [76°F to 110°F <br />(25°C to 43°C)], condition Pavemend SLQTM and any <br />aggregate for extension to approximately 70°F (21°C) prior <br />to mixing. <br />• Keep product containers cool and out of direct sunlight. <br />• Protect mixing and application area from wind and direct <br />sunlight. Provide artificial shade and wind breaks. <br />•C <br /> ontact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin <br />Representative for additional guidance when installing in HOT <br />weather applications [above 85°F (29°C)]. <br />• Important! COOL and COLD weather applications: <br />• F or COOL weather applications [50°F to 59ºF (10°C to <br />15°C)] condition Pavemend SLQTM and any aggregate to <br />be used for extension to approximately 70°F (21°C) prior to <br />mixing. <br />• F or COLD weather applications [below 40°F (4°C)] <br />condition Pavemend SLQTM and any aggregate to <br />approximately 70°F (21°C) and ensure that these <br />temperatures are maintained for Pavemend SLQTM and any <br />aggregate. It is imperative that Pavemend SLQTM is protected <br />from cold temperatures prior to mixing. Do NOT attempt <br />to mix COLD Pavemend SLQ (or any COLD aggregate). <br />Contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin <br />Representative for guidance when installing in temperatures <br />below [below 40°F (4°C)]. <br />CMT (Critical Mix Temperature): <br />• Pavemend SLQTM is formulated to undergo an exothermic chemical <br />reaction during the mixing process. <br />• When Pavemend SLQTM reaches a Critical Mix Temperature (CMT) <br />of 82°F to 85°F (28°C to 29°C), this indicates that the exothermic <br />chemical reaction has begun. <br />• The required mixing time to reach the CMT will vary depending on <br />ambient (air) temperature, mix water temperature, and temperature of <br />the dry powder of Pavemend SLQTM in the packaging. <br />• Important! When mixing Pavemend SLQTM with water, <br />85 <br />always use an infrared thermometer and verify that <br />the CMT of 82°F to 85°F (28°C to 29°C) has <br />been reached! <br />SLQ</p> <p>Mixing Instructions: <br />Read all instructions thoroughly prior to mixing and application. <br />Important! Pavemend SLQTM must be mixed in a Bucket with a Heavy-duty <br />Drill and Paddle. Do not hand mix Pavemend SLQTM!! <br />•D <br /> o not mix partial units of Pavemend SLQTM. Mix entire contents at one <br />time. Do not divide and separate units into smaller portions. <br />• Pavemend SLQTM cannot be pumped or mixed in grout mixer or <br />rotating drum concrete mixers due to rapid set times. <br />• For large individual repairs that involve multiple mixing stations, begin <br />mixing individual units simultaneously. <br />• Use an accurate measuring container and always carefully measure the <br />water amounts. <br />For Each: <br />46 lb (20.9 kg) 5 gallon (18.9 L)</p> <p>Add: <br />1 U.S. gallon (3.8 L) water</p> <p>• Use a heavy-duty drill (6 amp minimum) with a double box mixing blade <br />turning at least 500 to 800 rpm. Drills with speeds greater than 800 rpms <br />may entrain air in the mix. <br />• Use high quality electrician’s grade infrared thermometers. <br />• Keep multiple thermometers on hand.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet.

Loosen material in container by tumbling bucket around. <br />2. U <br /> se a drill to blend all dry powder ingredients together in bucket before <br />adding water. Dry blend for 30 seconds. <br />3. P our all required pre-measured water into the bucket on top of Pavemend <br />SLQTM powder while mixing. <br />Important! All dry Pavemend SLQTM powder must be incorporated into <br />the water to achieve a uniform wet mix within the first 30 seconds of <br />mixing! <br />4. Place material immediately after the CMT of 82°F to 85°F (28°C to <br />29°C) has been reached. <br />Instructions for Mixing Pavemend SLQTM with aggregate extension: <br />• Use only 3/8” (1 cm) or 1/2” (1.3 cm), clean, washed stone up to <br />50% maximum (by volume or by weight). For best results, use fractured <br />aggregate. <br />1. Loosen material in container by tumbling bucket around. <br />2. U <br /> se a drill to blend all dry powder ingredients together in bucket before <br />adding water. Dry blend for 30 seconds. <br />3. P our all required pre-measured water into the bucket on top of Pavemend <br />SLQTM powder while mixing. <br />Important! All dry Pavemend SLQTM powder must be incorporated into <br />the water to achieve a uniform wet mix within the first 30 seconds of <br />mixing! <br />4. A <br /> dd aggregate to mixed material. Important! Add aggregate as soon as <br />product has reached the CMT of 82°F to 85°F (28°C to 29°C)! <br />5. Place material immediately. <br />Application: <br />• Concrete substrates must be damp with no standing water immediately <br />before application of Pavemend SLQTM. <br />• Minimum application thickness of Pavemend SLQTM is 1/4” (6 mm) <br />as packaged (neat). Minimum application thickness with aggregate <br />extension is 1” (25 mm). There are no restrictions to the maximum depth</p> <p>of thickness. <br />• For best results, Aquafin recommends monolithic placement of repair <br />materials. If material must be layered, maintain a minimum thickness of <br />1” (25 mm) and rake/score top to facilitate a good mechanical bond <br />for next layer. Material must also be layered before final set has been <br />reached. <br />1. Place Pavemend SLQTM onto properly prepared concrete substrate in <br />a continuous pour starting from one end of the repair area to the other <br />end in each area to be repaired. <br />NOTE: Large individual repairs will likely require the use of multiple <br />(simultaneous) mixing stations in order supply a constant flow of material <br />for a single monolithic pour. <br />2. Spread material quickly using traditional concrete tools such as a trowel <br />or a come-a-long. Pavemend SLQTM can also be screeded to a thickness <br />that matches surrounding concrete. <br />3. W <br /> ork very fast to allow time for finishing. <br />Finish: <br />• Upon initial set, finish material to desired finish texture. <br />• Upon final set, the material can be saw-cut, drilled, sanded and/or <br />polished. <br />• Re-establish all previously existing joints within 1 hour of final set. <br />Top Coating: <br />As Pavemend SLQ cures, a naturally occurring film will develop. Prior to the <br />application of paints, coatings or sealers, it is important to follow these steps <br />below. <br />• During warm and hot weather conditions, allow Pavemend SLQ to cure <br />for at least 3 days. <br />• During cool and cold weather conditions, allow Pavemend SLQ to cure <br />for at least 7 days. <br />• Using mechanical abrasion (sand blasting, grinding, steel shot blasting, <br />hydroblasting, etc.), completely remove all traces of the film that <br />developed during the curing period. <br />Note: Aquafin recommends mock-ups to confirm compatibility of <br />Pavemend SLQ with paints, coatings, and sealers. <br />Protection: <br />• P rotect application from rain until product has reached its final set. <br />• Refer to chart on this page, “Guidelines for Protection from Traffic in <br />Cold Weather” for additional information. <br />Curing: <br />• P avemend SLQTM is self-curing and should be “air-cured”. <br />•W <br /> ater curing is not required or recommended. <br />• Do not use curing agents. <br />•C <br /> uring times are approximate and will vary depending on ambient (air) <br />temperature, surface temperature of host concrete, host concrete profile, <br />and the application thickness. <br />Clean-up: <br />•C <br /> lean all tools and other equipment with water prior to the material <br />reaching final set. Cured material must be mechanically removed. <br />Limitations: <br />• Do not apply when surface and ambient temperatures are above 110°F <br />(43°C) or below 0°F (-18°C). <br />•D <br /> o not add extra water to the mix. Exceeding the water: mix ratio will <br />reduce the strength and performance of Pavemend SLQTM and will void <br />the warranty. <br />•D <br /> o not use additional water during the finishing process. The addition of</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Page 3 of 4 <br />(03/03/25-EKVBAC)</p> <p>Pavemend SLQ™ <br />excess water will negatively affect the materials final properties. <br />• Pavemend SLQTM will not perform as designed if mixed product is <br />placed before the Critical Mix Temperature (CMT) is reached. <br />• Do not add sand, cement, accelerators, admixtures, or other ingredients to <br />the mix (other than approved aggregate for extension). <br />• Do not use Pavemend SET RETARDANT with Pavemend SLQTM. <br />• Do not bridge moving cracks or joints. <br />• Concrete repair products are not designed to color-match existing <br />concrete surfaces. In addition, jobsite conditions including temperature, <br />humidity, and air movement can create color variations within the <br />application of the same unit of Pavemend SLQTM. <br />• Pavemend SLQTM will not adhere to concrete surfaces with resin coatings, <br />polymer sealers, or to similar concrete surfaces with reduced porosity, or <br />no porosity. <br />• Sealers, traffic coatings, liquid-applied waterproofing and similar <br />products are not recommended over Pavemend SLQTM. <br />Packaging: <br />Pail: 46 lb (20.9 kg) 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket GSA P/N: C300 <br />Storage & Shelf Life: <br />Storage: Store Pavemend SLQTM in original, unopened, undamaged, sealed <br />pail out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry, indoor location. <br />Shelf Life: 3 years (when stored in original unopened bucket) <br />Note: <br />Proper application is the sole responsibility of the user.
