Pressure Epoxy Injeciton

Panther has specialized in pressure epoxy injection for concrete crack repairs since 1993.  We are a licensed applicator for Chemco Systems, who manufactures pumps, resin and ports for the process of pressure epoxy injection to repair cracks in concrete. Chemco Systems is the only company who provides a complete system for epoxy injection.

Using the process of pressure epoxy injection, we can completely fill the void with a low viscosity epoxy resin that was created by a crack. The epoxy resin cures into an extremely hard plastic that permanently bonds with concrete, returning the structure’s original monolithic integrity.

Pressure Epoxy Process         
The crack repair process begins by cleaning and inspecting the crack. Then injection ports are surface- mounted approximately every 6" over the top of crack with an epoxy paste. The rest of the crack is sealed off with the same epoxy paste. Once the epoxy paste hardens, the injection process can begin.

The epoxy resin is then injected through the ports and into the crack using the injection pump. The injection process continues until the crack is completely filled or until refusal. Once the epoxy resin hardens, the ports are removed. The process involves no chipping, grinding or drilling.

Pressure Epoxy Injeciton

Our epoxy resin is three to five times stronger than concrete, making the repair the strongest part of the structure. Once the cracks are repaired, the structure’s original monolithic integrity is returned, allowing it to perform as it was originally designed to do.

Preventative
Epoxy injection seals off the cracks preventing damage caused by moisture infiltration.

Permanent
Epoxy injection is the only proven method to permanently repair cracks in concrete.  Other repair procedures are surface applied “band aids” that temporarily cover up the problem. Epoxy injection has been successfully used for more than 40 years to repairs cracks in concrete.

Experience
Proper pressure injection of epoxy involves a high degree of expertise to ensure that the epoxy is injected into the crack properly. Our technicians have been factory trained and certified in epoxy injection, and we have specialized in concrete crack repair since 1993, repairing hundreds of structures over the years. We only use pumps that were specifically designed for epoxy injection, not caulk guns or homemade pumps. We are also a member of International Concrete Repair Institute.
