ARCOR® Arcthane
ARCOR® Arcthane is a high elongation, elastomeric hybridized epoxy/urethane compound. This versatile product is specifically designed for expansion joint sealing and crack repair applications, offering excellent compatibility with epoxy coatings. The urethane component imparts toughness and flexibility, allowing for resilience in demanding conditions. Meanwhile, the epoxy aspect enhances water and chemical resistance, as well as shelf stability. ARCOR® Arcthane's unique formulation eliminates the moisture sensitivity and toxicity commonly associated with traditional urethanes, thanks to its epoxy reactivity. With its light paste consistency, this product can be easily applied using a squeegee or caulk gun, with the added benefit of being able to achieve thicknesses of up to 500 mils without slumping. Choose ARCOR® Arcthane for its outstanding sealing and repair capabilities, compatibility with epoxy coatings, and the enhanced properties of both epoxy and urethane components, ensuring durable and reliable performance in expansion joint and crack repair applications. ARCOR Epoxy Technologies can tailor make or reformulate the product to suit customer needs. Please reach out if you need a custom formulated product!

- Surface Preparation
Steel surfaces are to be abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive. Exterior applications to SSPC SP-6 commercial gray metal finish. Immersion applications to SSPC SP-6 white metal 3 to 5 mil profile. Grind all burrs, weld seems, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted surfaces to be primed immediately with ARCOR™ S-30 Prime to prevent oxidation of surface.. Concrete surfaces should be degreased if oil and grease contamination is present. Degreased surface shall be high pres- sure washed, acid etched and high pressure washed again so surface is clean and free of all grease and oils and surface laitance. Existing coatings should be abrasive blasted to clean concrete. Prime with ARCOR™ ARCRETE(unfilled), ARCOR™ EE-71 or ARCOR™ EE-10.
