Features & Benefits

• Uses:
  • Machinery base plates
  • Crane rail tracks
  • Bridge Bearings
  • Compressors and pumps
  • Reciprocating machinery
  • High impact loads
  • Space filling and stress transfer
• Four part formulation gives good resistance to most chemicals
• Stable to seawater and petroleum products
• Resists freeze thaw cycles
• For cold weather working Epoxy Winter Additive will improve low temperature strength development
• Tested in accordance with the appropriate parts of BS 6319

Preparation

• Remove laitance and all loose material including dust, oil and grease to achieve a sound substrate
• Steel surfaces should be free of mill scale and rust
• Surfaces to be grouted should be free of standing water and in a surface dry condition
• Formwork must be designed with sufficient hydrostatic head to ensure grout flow into and across the grouting area and should be made grout tight
• Apply a silicone based release agent to the formwork surfaces which will effect release after grout has hardened
• Alternatively use thick polythene sheet firmly fixed to the formwork

Mixing

• Epoxy Grout has 4 containers per pack. All containers must be used to complete the mix
• Pour all of the resin and hardener into a clean mixing vessel
• Mix with a slow speed drill (200-300rpm) and Mortar Stirrer (MR4) until homogeneous
• Slowly add the filler to the mixed resin and hardener. When all the filler has been added, mix for a further two minutes until an even colour is achieved
• Add the aggregate and mix for further minute until the aggregate is well dispersed throughout the mix
• Try and ensure that air entrainment is kept to a minimum by keeping the mixing head below the surface level of the grout at all times
• Larger volume may be mixed using a forced action mixer such as the Creteangle
• Each pack will yield approximately 16.75 litres of mixed material

Placing

• Allow mixed grout to stand for 5 minutes prior to placing to allow entrained air from mixing to be released
• Place grout continuously into the work area from one side only
• Wherefurther mixes are required to fill the void, these should be prepared in sequence such that pouring is continuous
• Place mixed grout within 30 minutes after start of mixing
• Place in gap widths between 35mm and 75mm. For thicker sections use E140 variant
• Do not disturb the grouted section until the grout has hardened
• Tools and mixing equipment should be cleaned with Solvent before grout has hardened. Set grout can only be removed mechanically
• May be placed at temperatures between 5°C and 45°C
• No special curing is required
