Question
What is low viscosity resin?
Expert Answer
Low viscosity resin flows like water. This property allows it to penetrate hairline cracks as narrow as 0.05mm. High viscosity resins are like treacle and suitable for wide cracks. In structural repair, using a low viscosity epoxy is essential to ensure the resin travels deep into the concrete matrix to bond the entire depth of the crack, not just the surface. This ensures full structural reinstatement.
