Description
U.S. EPOXY GROUT is a low viscosity, high strength, rapid curing, heat
resistant thermosetting epoxy grout. U.S. EPOXY GROUT exhibits no shrinkage,
excellent adhesion to concrete and steel, high chemical resistance to oils,
water, alkali and most dilute mineral acids. U.S. EPOXY GROUT is supplied as
pre-measured kits of liquids only, the end user supplying locally available
graded aggregate.
Basic Use
U.S. EPOXY GROUT is
used as a high strength, chemically resistant foundation grout for keeping
large mechanical equipment in precise alignment. U.S. EPOXY GROUT is used by
major industry for setting compressors, milling machines, lathes, diesel
engines, ball mills, etc.
Limitations
Do not use when surface and air temperatures are below 42 degrees F.
Exposure to temperatures exceeding 150 degrees F for long periods of time is
not recommended.
Surface Preparation
Concrete surfaces of application must be clean and
sound. Remove all grease oils, dirt, efflorescence and laitance. Sand blasting
is preferred to assure maximum adhesion. New concrete surfaces should be
cleaned with muriatic acid, followed by a thorough water rinse. Concrete
surface must be dry before application of U.S. EPOXY GROUT.
Mixing Instructions
Standard kits are pre-measured in the
following proportions:
U.S. EPOXY GROUT-Base-19lbs
U.S.
EPOXY GROUT-Reactor-8lbs
To each pre-measured kit, 135lbs of 20-40 mesh silica is
required. U.S. EPOXY GROUT may be mixed in a concrete or plaster mixer. For
smaller jobs, a mortar box or a wheelbarrow may be used.
Thoroughly mix
Base with Reactor, then slowly add aggregate.
Application
Pour in the same
manner as for conventional grouts. The flow characteristics are excellent.
Coverage
Each unit of U.S. EPOXY GROUT mixed with
135lbs of sand will yield 1.21 cubic feet or 9 gallons of grout.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment before grout
sets with lacquer solvents, xylol, toluol or ketones.
