Araldite ® Epoxy Grout S


NON SHRINK EPOXY RESIN GROUT
USES
Pourable non-shrink grout for crack repair in load bearing applications where mechanical properties of the hardened grout must be of the highest order. Ideal for the repair of cracked concrete members and floor slabs where grout can be poured in under gravity

SPECIAL FEATURES
* LOW VISCOSITY
* SOLVENT FREE
* NON SHRINK
* FOR GAPS 0.1 - 5 mm.

DESCRIPTION
Araldite Epoxygrout S is a two component, low viscosity resin system based on Araldite epoxy resins.
The two components are supplied in pre-weighed quantities ready for on site mixing. When mixed the fluid grout can be poured into cracks up to 5 mm
across.

THERMAL PROPERTIES
Araldite Epoxygrout S is suitable for application between 15aC to 30aC.
Araldite Epoxygrout S when fully cured will support constant compressive loads at temperatures up to 45s C.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PREPARATION
Identify all cracks in the horizontal slab or member by wetting the surface with water. Open out the top of the crack to about 5 mm wide and 10 mm deep. This may be done using a chisel or by cutting along the line of the crack with an abrasive disc. The channel that is formed should then be thoroughly cleaned of all dust and debris and left to dry

PLACING
Araldite Epoxygrout S is supplied in two pre weighed packs in exact proportions. No other materials should be added. STIR THE CONTENTS OF EACH TIN Pour the entire contents of the hardener into the resin and mix until uniform. Pour the resin grout into the channel to form a reservoir, which will flow under gravity to penetrate the cracked concrete. Keep the reservoir full of resin grout until it hardens.

CURING
Allow the resin grout to cure before loading. The minimum requirement is 24 hours at 18s C (65s F) Cure takes 6-8 hours at ambient temperatures of 23s C (739 F)

YIELD
Araldite Epoxygrout S
1.5 kg pack yields approximately 1.5 Its of mixed grout. Consumption of grout will depend upon the size of the crack and porosity of the substrate.

STORAGE
Shelf life of 12 months minimum if stored below 25a C.

CAUTION
Keep uncured epoxy materials away from the mouth, food or drink.
Do not use empty tins to store food even if they appear to have been cleaned.
Always wear gloves or barrier cream when handling uncured epoxy materials. Clean any splashes or smears from the skin immediately
using warm water and soap.
Avoid inhaling vapour.
Do not use below 5s C.
