- Clean Up
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Clean uncured materials from tools and equipment using a mild solvent, such as CRACKBOND® INDUSTRIAL CITRUS CLEANER from Adhesives Technology Corp. Cured material may only be removed mechanically using a sander or grinder. Collect with absorbent material. Flush area with water. Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal disposal regulations.
- Availability
Adhesives Technology Corp. (ATC) products are available online and through select distributors providing all your construction needs.

- Ready-to-Use Products
- Specification
The epoxy overlay system shall be an epoxy system supplied in pre-measured containers. At 7 days and a temperature of 75 °F (24 °C), the neat epoxy shall have a tensile strength of 3,960 psi (27.3 MPa) and an elongation of 59.2 % per ASTM D638. The epoxy overlay shall be CRACKBOND BRIDGE-GARD from Adhesives Technology Corp., Pompano Beach, FL.
- Shelf Life Storage
For best results, store between 50°F (10°C) and 95°F (35°C). Shelf life is 24 months when stored in unopened containers in dry and dark conditions.
- Advantages and Features
All-in-one easy to use system in pre-measured containers; Pave from 3/4 in. to 10 in. cross-sections; Rapid cure - open to traffic in < 3 hours @ 75 °F (24 °C); High tensile strength coupled with high elongation for superior rutting resistance; High early bond strength; Non-shrink; Moisture insensitive; Excellent oil and chemical resistance; No field chemistry required; Made in the USA in accordance with CFR 49 section 50101
- Limitations and Warnings
For professional use only; Do not thin with solvents, as this may affect cure; Concrete should be a minimum of 28 days old prior to applying as overlay; Compressed air equipment must have an oil/air separator; BRIDGE-GARD is a vapor barrier after curing; For placements > 10 in. and/or structural applications, contact an ATC representative; Consult ATC when mixing or placing outside of the temperature recommendations listed.
- Installation and Coverage
In order to achieve maximum results, proper installation is imperative. Coverage may vary according to the porosity of the concrete. 1.6 gallons (6.1 L) epoxy plus 113 lb. (51.3 kg) of aggregate yields approximately 1 ft.3 (0.03 m3).
- General Uses and Applications
Extends deck life in bridges and parking structures; Bridge nosing material for joint headers and edges; Repairs concrete spalls; Levels or corrects concrete grading or ruts; Rehabilitates concrete flooring and loading docks
