Parex E70 Epoxy Grout
Parex E70 Epoxy Grout is an epoxy resin based grout with high flow properties capable of placing in gaps between 35mm to 75mm. The epoxy resin formulation enables E70 Epoxy Grout to be used in the most demanding situations giving exceptional mechanical strength. The volume stable mix design ensures complete fill of the grouted area and contact with the work piece.
The formulation gives good chemical resistance to most chemicals. Stable to sea water, petroleum products, resists freeze thaw cycles. For cold weather working E33 Winter Additive will improve low temperature strength development.
Uses include:
- Machinery base plates.
- Crane rail tracks.
- Bridge Bearings.
- Compressors, pumps and turbines.
- Reciprocating machinery.
- High impact loads.

Instructions For Use
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
Parex E70 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.
