Properties of Acrylic 120

Acrylic 120 is solvent-less, has a viscosity of approaching that of kerosene and a natural ability to penetrate and saturate, effectively encapsulating the host material. To Acrylic 120 (impregnant) it is immaterial whether the host material is steel, wood, cement, stone, synthetic fibres or a combination of such materials. Acrylic 120 is interested only in absorption. Acrylic 120 will therefore seal, stick, glue, and fix almost anything. With its rapid capillary attraction, curing in just 2 minutes (at 18°C) it will take traffic within 30 minutes of an application.

Acrylic 120 is not a surface coating, although it will assist the application of surface coatings by providing a non porous sub-surface for better keying of the coating.

Acrylic 120 provides protection for embedded steel reinforcement in concrete structures by sealing off the internal passageways against water/air penetration. It does this by becoming part of the concrete structure as an encapsulant.

Acrylic 120 also provides a unique capability by saturating and hardening a structure that is suffering with decay such as wood, cement, metal, stone. It is not suitable for non inter-cellular wood such as pine or balsawood.
