Color & Ratio: Part A (Resin): Beige, Part B (Hardener):
Dark Gray, Mixed: Concrete Gray, Mix Ratio: 1:1 by volume
Storage & Shelf Life: 24 months when stored in unopened
containers in dry conditions. Store between 40 °F (4 °C) and
95 °F (35 °C).
Installation & Coverage: See Manufacturer’s Printed Installation Instructions (MPII) available within this Technical Data
Sheet (TDS). Due to occasional updates and revisions, always
verify that you are using the most current version of the MPII. In
order to achieve maximum results, proper installation is imperative.
Clean Up: Always wear appropriate protective equipment
such as safety glasses and gloves during cleanup. Clean uncured materials from tools and equipment with mild solvent.
Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
Limitations & Warnings:
 Do not thin with solvents, as this may inhibit proper curing
 Not recommended for any application where there may be a
sustained tensile load, including overhead applications
Safety: Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for ULTRABOND 2300. Call ATC for more information at 1-800-8921880.
Specification: The bonding agent shall be a two component, 1:1 mix ratio epoxy system supplied in pre-measured containers. The adhesive must meet the requirements of C881-14
specification for Type I, II, IV, and V, Grade 3 Class C. When
cured 7 days and at a temperature of 75 °F (24 °C), the bonding
agent shall have a compressive strength of 10,220 psi (70.5
MPa) per ASTM D695 and a tensile strength of 3,316 psi (22.9
MPa) per ASTM D638. The bonding agent shall be ULTRABOND 2300 from Adhesives Technology Corp., Pompano
Beach, Florida.

1. Results based on testing conducted on a representative lot of product. Average results will vary according to the tolerances
of the given property.
2. Full cure time is listed above to obtain the performance as listed for the corresponding material property.
3. Pot life is measured as the workable time, in minutes, of the full Bulk Unit Gallon mixed. At a temperature of 110 °F (43 °C)
the pot life is 6.5 minutes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(MPII) Surface Preparation





Concrete must be clean and profiled or textured. All dirt, oil, debris, wax, grease or dust must be removed.
Remove any loose concrete or rocks from the surface area where the application of the bonding adhesive will be applied.
New concrete must be a minimum of 28 days old.
Prepare the surface mechanically using a scarifier, shotblaster, bushhammer or other equipment that will give the surface
the profile needed for the application. A roughened surface is imperative to good adhesion.
Surfaces may be damp (or dry) however there should be no standing water.
Mixing Instructions
NOTE: Thoroughly stir each component separately before mixing together.
1. Pour the total contents of Part “B” (hardener) into the Part “A” pail (resin) OR proportion equal parts by volume of both
Part “A” and Part “B” into a clean pail. Be sure that the components are mixed at an exact 1:1 ratio by volume.
2. Mix thoroughly with a low speed drill (400 – 600 rpm) with a Jiffy mixing paddle or similar. Carefully scrape the sides
and the bottom of the container while mixing. Keep the paddle below the surface of the material to avoid entrapping
air. Proper mixing will take at least 3 minutes and when well mixed the material will be free of streaks or lumps.
3. Mix only the amount of material that can be used before the pot life expires.
Applications

Bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete: Using a brush or roller, apply an even coat of the mixed ULTRABOND
2300 epoxy to the clean and prepared concrete surface. While the epoxy is still tacky, place fresh concrete over the top of
the mixed epoxy.

Bonding hardened concrete to hardened concrete: Using a brush or roller, apply an even coat of the mixed ULTRABOND 2300 epoxy to both concrete surfaces and be sure to fill all gaps between the mating concrete surfaces.

Spall Repair Preparation: Cut into the sound concrete using a grinder with a 4-1/2 diamond blade or tuck point diamond
grinding wheel and prepare the area to be repaired as noted above under Surface Preparation. Pour mixed neat ULTRABOND 2300 into the repair area and smooth out with a trowel to create a smooth surface.
