Packaging and Safety

ALPHATEC^® 130 is packed in set yielding 10 or 50 litres. The components are pre-measured, and should normally be mixed as a unit.

All ALPHATEC products are intended for industrial use, and should be used only by experienced personnel with proper equipment & training. Always use proper protective clothing, including gloves, face masks or shields, and wash any exposed skin thoroughly after using the product.

Mixing and Handling

Pour full amount of hardener into the pail containing the liquid, and mix for no more than 1 minute with an air or electric powered Jiffy mixer operated at low speed.

Pour the mixed resins into a suitable pail of 16 to 20 litre capacity, and add the aggregate portion slowly. Use the full amount of aggregate, unless an Alphatec trained supervisor recommends otherwise. Pour the mixed grout material into the forms without delay.
