Bridge Deck Overlays

- Remains flexible through its entire life cycle.
- Flexible urethane molecule is co-polymerized with epoxy molecule and thus part of its molecular structure.
- Retains flexibility at low temperatures.
- Permanent long term adhesion due to stable molecular structure.
- Molecular marriage of epoxy and urethane produces the least effect on the strength of epoxy molecules.
- No sacrifice of chemical strength or weatherability is made in the formation of epoxy-urethane-co-polymer thus, excellent chemical strength and weatherability due to the formulation.
- Chloride ion penetration resistance.
- Maintains long term adhesion and strength which helps retain aggregate thus maintains skid resistance.

- Becomes brittle with aging.
- Flexibile epoxies are mixed, are not part of the molecular structure and disintegrate with U.V. and weathering.
- Loses flexibility at low temperatures.
- Loses adhesion with aging due to leaching out of FLEXIBILIZED Agents.
- Flexibilized Agents added to epoxy lowers tensile and compressive strength.
- Flexibilized Agents lower the chemical resistance and weatherability of the overall epoxy formulation-thus, poor chloride ion penetration resistance.
- Long term skid resistance is lowered due to sliding adhesive strength of the molecule.
- Chloride ion penetration resistance.
