FILLED EPOXY RESIN GROUT

Preparation
All substrates should be sound and free from oils and greases and must be dry. Concrete surfaces must be scabbled or grit blasted to a sound base. Dust and debris must be removed.

Steel surfaces, particularly the underside of base plates, should be grit blasted to clean bright metal.

Baseplate Grouting
Formwork
Formwork must be constructed which is leak proof and be similar to that shown in the sketch below: For successful grouting it is essential to provide a hydrostatic head of grout. To achieve this a feeding hopper system should be used similar to that shown in the sketch below

Mixing
SpECgrout E60 is supplied in a three-component pack consisting of one tin of resin, one tin of hardener and one bag of specially selected fillers.

the base and hardener should be first mixed together in a 25 litre steel container and the powder component added slowly while mixing with a slow speed drill and paddle. Complete mixing will take atleast 3 minutes.

Placing
The mixed material should be poured at a uniform rate into the hopper end of the formwork only.Pouring should be continuous to avoid entrapment of air.

Good planning is essential to ensure sufficient material is available to complete the pour. A guide on typical flow distances for SpECgrout E60 using a 100mm head is provided below:
