Uses
- For high load crane rail grouting.
- For old and new machine base plates.
- For pile head treatment, ground anchors, towers and structural filling of holes and cavities in concrete.
- For industrial equipment and machinery which are subject to dynamic forces.
- Used where application thickness ranges from 10-100 mm.
Mixing
Mix with a slow speed drill and paddle. Add the contents of the reactor container to the base component in a suitable mixing vessel taking care to completely transfer both the resin components. Mix for one minute before slowly adding the aggregate and continue mixing until a flowing and pourable consistency is achieved.
Surface Preparation
For all epoxy resin applications the quality of surface preparation has a direct e ect on the performance and durability of the system. Concrete surfaces should be sound, dimensionally stable, clean, free from solvents, paint, oil, grease, mould release agent and residual curing compound. A rough scabbed surface is preferable. Metal surfaces or components to be bedded should be free from any rust, scaling or paint. Formwork if used should be wrapped in polythene to ensure a clean release.
Application
Immediately after mixing pour into the prepared area in such manner that it has only the shortest distance to flow. For longer pours a suitable head of pressure may be required. Ensure that the area to be grouted is not completely sealed and any displaced air can be expelled. Pour continuously from one end only. Allow the grout to set before removing the formwork, usually after 6 hours. Where placement exceeds a depth of 80 mm, application should be carried out in layers and the second layer should be applied after 6 hours.
Coverage
15 kg/set will yield 7.5 Litres of grout.
