FX-752

Epoxy Bonding Agent

Limitations
Do not apply to surfaces below 40F
(4C)
Do not apply to surfaces above 95F
(35C)
Material is a vapor barrier after
cure, contact Simpson Strong-Tie
for use in exterior on-grade
applications

2
Repair mortars and concrete mixes
must be applied while FX-752 is
still tacky
Existing concrete should be
fully cured prior to
application

Surface Preparation
Concrete surface must be sound, clean and free of all contaminants that could impair product adhesion,
bond or
performance. Concrete should be a minimum of 28 days old or substantially cured to the equivalent design
strength prior
to FX-752 installation. Prepare concrete in accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2 CSP 5-9, taking care to
avoid microcracking. Remove all loose or deteriorated concrete by chipping hammer, water jetting, or other
mechanical means
to achieve an open pore structure and sound concrete surface. Remove all cleaning media and debris by
vacuum or
blowing with high-pressure, oil-free air.
Mixing
For optimal product performance, condition individual components to 70F (21C) and stir thoroughly prior
to use.
Do not prepare more material than can be used in the pot life of the product. Proportion Component A
and
Component B at a 1A:1B ratio by volume in a clean pail. Mix thoroughly with a low-speed (300600 rpm)
drill and
mixing paddle for 3 minutes, scraping unmixed material from sides and bottom of mixing container as
needed. Avoid
entrapping air into mixture.

Application
Remove all standing water by vacuum or blowing with oil-free, compressed air prior to installation. FX-752
can be
installed on damp or dry surfaces. Do not install through standing water. Avoid installing at high
temperatures or windy
conditions to maximize open time. Never apply in direct sunlight.
Apply 2FX 752 Epoxy Bonding Agent by brush, roller, spray or squeegee at a rate of 60100 ft.2/gal. (1.5
2.5 m /L), depending on surface profile and porosity. Immediately install repair materials or concrete mix
into wet FX 752. Do not allow FX-752 to dry or become tack-free before concrete or mortar installation. If
FX-752 does dry or becomes tack-free, abrade surface and recoat. Do not apply more bonding agent
than can be effectively covered with repair mortars or concrete mixes while remaining wet.

CAUTION
Component A: May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization.
Component B: CORROSIVE! Severe irritation to eyes and skin. May cause skin sensitization. Components
of the product may affect the nervous system.
Protective Measures: The use of safety glasses and chemically resistant gloves is recommended. Use
appropriate clothing to minimize skin contact. The use of a NIOSH-approved respirator is required to
protect respiratory tract when ventilation is not adequate to limit exposure below the PEL. Refer to
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available at ww w.strongtie.com /msds for detailed information.

SAFETY

FIRST AID
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes while holding
the eyes open. If redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling persists, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
Skin Contact: Remove product and wash affected area with soap and water. Do not apply greases
or ointments. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing with soap and water before reuse. If
redness, burning, or swelling persists, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER
IMMEDIATELY FOR CURRENT INFORMATION. Never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Rinse mouth out with water. Never leave patient unattended. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, lay individual
on their
side, keeping head below hips to prevent aspiration of material into lungs.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. If patient continues to experience diffculty breathing, CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.

CLEAN UP
Spills: Construct a dike to prevent spreading. Soak up with absorbent material such as clay, sand
or other non- reactive material. Place in leak-proof containers. Keep out of sewers, storm drains,
surface waters, and soils.
Surface Clean: Wipe up uncured material with cotton cloths. If desired scrub area with abrasive,
water-based cleaner and flush with water. If approved, solvents such as FX-Epoxy Cleaner, ketones
(MEK, acetone, etc.), or adhesive remover can be used. Cured material can only be removed by
mechanical means.
Tools and Equipment: Remove uncured material with FX-Epoxy Cleaner, ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.), or
adhesive remover. Cured material can only be removed by mechanical means.
Skin: Use a non-toxic pumice-based soap, citrus-based hand cleaner, or waterless hand cleaner
towel. Never use solvents to remove product from skin.
Disposal: Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state, and local
requirements. Containers may be recycled; consult local regulations for exceptions.
