EUCO 495-H.P.
LOOP DETECTOR SEALANT
Euco 495-H.P is a low temperature curing epoxy
sealant used to encapsulate and seal traffic vehicle loop detectors embedded in asphalt concrete
or portland cement concrete. It is a 100% solids
system that makes a permanent, maintenance
free installation. It rapidly cures to a tough, resilient material having excellent characteristics suitable for roadway work.
After the wires have been placed in the previously
sawed joints, 495-H.P is poured into the cavity
and allowed to self level. The initial set occurs
very quickly (see Curing below) at which time
the roadway may be opened to traffic. 495-H.P.
develops essentially full cure in 24 hours.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Preparation - When sealing detector loops with
495-H.P. thoroughly clean out all saw cuts using
compressed air to blow our dirt and water. It is
important to remove all free water in the loop and
lead slots prior to installing the wire. 495-H.P. will
adhere to damp surfaces. Wires should then be
anchored in place with a section of insulation or
any small, suitable object.
Mixing - The mixing ratio of 495-H.P. is one part
by volume of Component A to one part by volume
of component B. Mix with a special slotted paddle
or a Jiffy Mixer attached to a 1/2" electric drill.
Slow circular motions as well as up and down
motions must be used. The paddle should contact
the the bottom and sides of the can, to assure
complete mixing. Mixing time for 2 gallons of 495H.P. should be 3 to 4 minutes with the proper tools.
Thorough mixing is necessary in order to obtain
maximum physical properties of the cured compound and because 495-H.P. is viscous, small
paint stirrers or mixers are not recommended.
Application - Pour the mixture into the prepared
slot, starting at the high side of the road. Continue
around the sawed slot, filling it to approximately
2/3 of full depth, allowing the 495-H.P. to settle
around the wires. After the initial 2/3 filling of the
slot, a second application should immediately be
made in order to fully fill the slot with 495-H.P.

Curing - 495-H.P. will cure at various rates, depending upon temperatures and humidity.
CAUTION
It is important to completely empty each can of
mixed material within the alloted pot life time. If
this is not done, the mixture will react in the can
and not be suitable for use.
PACKING/YIELD
Euco 495-HP is packed in 1 gallon (3.8 liters)
kit. Which is sufficient to fill 40 m long, 0.6 cm x
1.5 cm slot
WARNING
Uncured resins and hardeners may produce irritation following frequent and prolonged contact with
the skin. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Hands or other
areas coming in contact with resins should be
washed thoroughly with soap and water. 495-H.P.
becomes very hot as it begins to set and care
should be taken to avoid burns.
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
All traffic vehicle loop detectors will be sealed with
495-H.P. as manufactured by Construction Material Chemical Industries. This sealant will be used
in strict accordance with the directions of the
manufacturer regarding the preparation of the loop
and lead slots, the mixing application and curing
of 495-H.P. and the subsequent reopening of the
road to traffic.
Detailed specifications are available upon request.
