Features & Benefits

• Typical applications include reciprocating machinery, testing equipment, heavy crane and transporter rails, high speed turbines, centrifuges, drop forges, electroplating and chemical plants and anchoring of steel bars
• Low creep characteristics under sustained loading
• Resistant to repetitive dynamic loads
• Non-shrink, ensuring complete surface contact and bond
• High compressive, tensile and flexural strengths
• Fast, convenient installation with rapid strength gain
• Withstands a wide range of chemicals
• For smaller gap widths from 0.25 to 10 mm please see Fosroc Conbextra EP10
• Fire Rating: EN 13501-1 Class C1 s1 dO

Application Notes

• The formwork should be constructed to be leakproof as Conbextra EP products are free-flowing grouts
• Loss of grout once the material is placed but not hardened, will result in incomplete filling of the gap
• Mix using a slow speed power drill and an MR3 Mixing Paddle
• For free-flow grout conditions it is essential to provide a hydrostatic head of grout
• To achieve this a feeding hopper system should be used
• The mixed grout should be poured steadily from one side only to eliminate the entrapment of air
• Continuous grout flow is essential
• Sufficient grout must be available prior to starting
• The time taken to pour a batch should be regulated to the time taken to prepare the next batch
• After curing the unrestrained grout should be cut back below the bottom of the baseplate using a skill saw

Please see the Product Data Sheet for detailed information.

Limitations

During application:

• Grouting may be carried out without special precautions at ambient temperatures from 5°C to 25°C
• Where ambient temperatures exceed 20°C note the pot life will be reduced
• Cure temperatures below 15°C will result in slower strength build up; at 5°C cure will stop until the material warms

Exotherm:

• All epoxy systems will develop a temperature rise on mixing
• Its extent will be a function of the volume to surface ratio, the ambient temperature as well as the mass and thermal conductivity of the surrounding materials
• Ensure good ventilation and do not breathe fumes
• Please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for specific advice

In Service:

• The cured grout, which is completely resistant to frost and sub-zero temperatures, is suitable for use up to 45°C
• Please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for specific advice
