General
Postloc has been used successfully in damp soil conditions. We recommend that standing water be evacuated from hole prior to setting a post.
Yes. Outside temperatures do not affect final product performance. Freeze-thaw cycles have no performance effect on cured Postloc.
Yes. Adhesion strength varies with different material types. However, Postloc has superior bonding to all post materials compared to other backfill products, like concrete.
Not significantly. As humid as it can be, you can use the product. Just don’t use in the rain.
No.
Yes. Postloc encapsulates posts preventing a shield against moisture and helps preserve post materials from decay and rust. Postloc forms a bond directly to posts, eliminating long-term deterioration effects.
Yes. In most cases the time difference is insignificant. Colder temperatures can slow curing time.
Closed, unopened containers of Postloc should be stored between 50°F-95°F (10°C-35°C). Detailed storage requirements are listed on each Postloc box.
We do not have a definitive answer, but know Postloc will outlast us.
When stored under recommended conditions, 24 months.
15 minutes. Cooler component and/or environmental temperatures can extend curing time.
Yes, but not significantly.
No.
Environmental
No. Postloc does not contribute to global warming, ozone depletion or smog production.
No. Cured Postloc product is inert and does not pose a threat. Quite the opposite, Postloc provides protection. BMK backfill products have been 3rd Party Tested and proven to mitigate and contain harmful effects of historical post preserving materials like creosote.
No. Postloc components and cured product do not contain marine pollutants.
No.
Disposal procedure is simply to discard empty plastic bottles in the trash. Empty Postloc containers and cured foam are allowable as landfill.
