Polinvent / 3P Silicate Resin®

Built for fast-setting, high-strength rehabilitation.

3PX Silicate Resin® is a two-component system developed for the rehabilitation of industrial and communal wastewater facilities, water insulation of engineering structures. It results in a thick, high-strength, and chemical-resistant coating on technological structures. It's also suitable for use as a matrix material for glass fiber reinforced composites for various applications.

Application

Application time

Temperature	Pot life	Pressure release time
50 °F	10 - 12 min	50 - 70 min
59 °F	8 - 10 min	35 - 50 min
68 °F	5 - 7 min	30 - 40 min
77 °F	4 - 6 min	25 - 35 min

Mixing guidance

Avoid all contact with moisture during handling, especially for component B and humid ambient air.
Mix components A and B in a plastic bucket with a drill and paint-mixing rod at 300 to 600 r/min for 1 minute.
Keep the components between 59 °F and 77 °F during mixing and minimize air entrapment.
Longer mixing time or higher mixing speed shortens pot life and should be avoided.
Let the homogenized blend rest for 30 minutes, remix for up to 1 minute, and use the full batch immediately after mixing.
