Packaging and Safety

ALPHATEC^® 141 is packed in two different unit sizes, yielding 10 litres, and 50 litres. The 10 litre set consists of one small pail of epoxy liquid, one bottle of hardener, and one bag of 001 aggregate. The 50 litre set consists of one pail of epoxy liquid, one bottle of hardener, and 5 bags of 001 aggregate.

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 one 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. The 50 litre set should be mixed in a vertical shaft mortar mixer.

Use the full amount of aggregate, unless an Alphatec trained supervisor recommends otherwise. Pour the mixed grout material into the forms without delay.
