QuakeBond™ 320LV
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
QuakeBond™ 320LV (Low Viscosity Resin) is a two-component, high strength, low viscosity structural epoxy. The low viscosity makes this an ideal product for gravity feed. It can be used as a liquid binder for sand, aggregate or other mineral fillers to form cost-effective material to fill the annular space around piles when PileMedic® laminates are used. The resin cures underwater, making it suitable for the repair of submerged piles. The high compressive and tensile strength of this epoxy provides structural strength for the pile or pole in repairs using PileMedic® laminates. QuakeBond™ 320LV can be used in the repair of concrete, masonry, and wood structures. QuakeBond™ 320LV is a 100% solids formulation with low toxicity and low odor during the cure.

- Usage
Filing the annular space created between the PileMedic® and concrete or timber pile or pole being repaired for both above water and submerged conditions.; As a binder mixed with sand and small-size aggregates to form a resin-based grout to fill larger annular spaces in the repair of piles and poles using PileMedic®.; Filling cracks in concrete by injection or gravity feed.; Crack repairs in masonry, wood and concrete structural members.
- Cleanup
Uncured materials can be removed with an approved solvent or warm soapy water.; Cured materials can only be removed mechanically.
- Markets
- Building & Construction
- Coverage
Apply as a filler material to fill voids in concrete, masonry, and timber structures.; The application rate varies greatly based on the porosity and the volume of voids or annular spaces present.; For wider annular spaces, the epoxy can easily be mixed with clean silica sand and pea gravel (3/8 inch and under) for improved yield.
- PACKAGING
Each component is supplied in either 5-gallon (19L) containers or 55-gallon (208L) drums, resulting in 15-gallon kits.; Ships DOT nonregulated.
- Advantages
High strength, high modulus and low-viscosity structural adhesive.; Moisture tolerant-it curves underwater.; Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to PileMedic® carbon or glass laminates.; Convenient easy mix ratio, 2:1 by volume.; 100% solids, VOC free and Butyl Glycidyl Ether (BGE) free.; Nearly odor-free.
- Application
Properly mixed QuakeBond™ 320LV can be used to fill the annular space between PileMedic® jackets and the pile or pole being repaired.; When introduced at the bottom of the annular space, the high density of the resin pushes the entrapped water to the top.; The resin can be thickened with clean silica sand and pea gravel (3/8 inch and under) for filling larger annular spaces.; All epoxy components shall be preconditioned to be at a temperature between 65°F (17°C) and 85°F (29°C) prior to the time of mixing.
