Two-component solvent-free epoxy
resin with very low viscosity
for injecting into micro-cracks

WHERE TO USE Epojet 270 complies with the principles defined in

• Monolithic crack filling.
• Filling cavities and structural strengthening on
concrete and masonry elements.
Some application examples
• Structural repairs on cracked beams, pillars and floor
slabs by low pressure injection.
• Repairs to façades, coating materials and detached
architectural features.
• Filling cracks in cementitious screeds.
• Injection into concrete structures to repair cracks
caused by earthquakes, settling, impact damage, etc.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Epojet 270 is a two-component epoxy resin.
The two pre-dosed components (component A resin
and component B catalyser) must be mixed together
prior to use.
EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for protecting and
repairing concrete structures: definitions, requirements,
quality control and conformity assessment. General
principles for the use of products and systems”), and
the minimum requirements of EN 1504-5 (“Concrete
injection”).
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Do not apply Epojet 270 if the temperature is lower
than +5°C.
• Do not apply Epojet 270 on wet surfaces.
• Do not apply Epojet 270 on dusty, crumbling or weak
substrates.
• Do not use Epojet 270 for sealing expansion joints.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Preparation of the substrate
Before injecting Epojet 270 surfaces must be perfectly
clean and sound.

After mixing, Epojet 270 has a highly fluid consistency
so that it can penetrate easily into micro-cracks.
Epojet 270 sets without a significant amount of
shrinkage and, once hardened, becomes waterproof
and impermeable to chemical agents present in the
surrounding atmosphere.
Filling cracks by injection
Drill a series of 10 mm holes at an angle along the sides
of the cracks so they go through the cracks.
Carefully clean the area with compressed air to remove
all traces of dust formed during the drilling operation.
Insert special injection tubes into the drilled holes and
seal them in place with Adesilex PG1 or Adesilex PG2.

Epojet 270 has excellent dielectric properties and high If there is not enough space to drill holes use injectors
mechanical strength. with flat ends fastened in place over the cracks with

Preparation of the product
The two components of Epojet 270 must
be mixed together. Pour component B
into component A and mix by hand with a
spreader (for small quantities) or with a drill
at low-speed with a mixing attachment (for
larger quantities) until the resin is completely
blended; avoid entraining air into the mix.
Pour the mix into a clean container and briefly
mix again.
To avoid dosage errors, use the entire
contents of the two components otherwise
Epojet 270 may not set correctly. If
only partial quantities are required, use
high-precision electronic scales to weigh
out the components.
Application of the product
Inject Epojet 270 immediately after mixing
with a suitable pump starting from the lowest
tube until the resin comes out of the next
injector. Seal the lower tube used to inject the
resin and then inject Epojet 270 into the next
tube above until the crack is completely filled.
Fill horizontal cracks by simply pouring
Epojet 270 directly into the crack.
Apply Epojet 270 within 20 minutes of
preparation at +23°C. Do not use Epojet 270
if the outside temperature or the temperature
of the substrate is lower than +5°C.
Cleaning
Epojet 270 forms a very strong bond; we
recommend cleaning tools with solvent (such
as ethanol, toluene, etc.) before it sets.
CONSUMPTION
Sealing cracks:
1.1 kg/l of cavities to be filled.
PACKAGING
6 kg kit (component A: 4.5 kg - component B:
1.5 kg).
STORAGE
Store Epojet 270 24 months in its
original packaging. Store the product at a
temperature of at least +10°C.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
Epojet 270 component A irritates the eyes
and skin. Component B is corrosive and may
cause serious burns and is also harmful if
swallowed. Both components (A and B) may
cause sensitisation to those predisposed. The
product contains low molecular weight epoxy
resins that may cause sensitisation if cross-
contaminated with other epoxy compounds.
When applying the product it is recommended
to use protective gloves and goggles and
to take the usual precautions for handling
chemicals. If the product comes in contact
with the eyes or skin, wash immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention.
When the product reacts it generates
considerable heat. After mixing components
A and B we recommend applying the product
as soon as possible and to never leave the
container unguarded until it is completely
empty.
Epojet 270 components A and B are also
hazardous for aquatic life. Do not dispose of
these products in the environment.
