Parex Epoxy 200 Grout

Standards
Parex Epoxy 200 Grout has been tested to the relevant parts of BS 6319, BS 5080
 

Epoxy resin 

Storage life of 24 months in unopened containers

It must be kept in dry conditions at a temperature between 5°C and 45°C.
Storage at higher temperatures and high humidity may reduce shelf life.

~20 minutes @ 20°C

~24 hours (dependant on strength requirements)

Each 1.0kg pack will yield approximately 0.65 litres of mixed material.

Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days (dependent on minimum strength requirements).
Verify the substrate strength (concrete, natural stone etc.).
The substrate surface (all types) must be clean, dry and free from contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, existing surface treatments and coatings etc. Steel substrates must be de-rusted to a standard equivalent to Sa 2.5. The substrate must be sound and all loose particles
must be removed. Substrate must be dry or mat damp and free from any standing water, ice etc.

Substrates must be sound, dry, clean and free from laitance, ice, standing water, grease, oils, old surface treatments or coatings and all loose or friable particles must be removed to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface.
Surface and base plate contact area must be clean and sound. For best results, the substrate shall be dry. Remove dust, laitance, oils, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles, coatings, and disintegrated materials by mechanical means, i.e. chipping with a chisel, blast cleaning etc.

Anchor hole preparation
All anchor pockets or sleeves must be free of water. Holes should be drilled using rotary percussive drills with air or water flush. Diamond drilled holes may be roughened or under-reamed for extra anchorage values. Holes drilled with non-flushing tools should be cleaned using a steel rotary brush. Debris should be blown out of the hole using compressed air through an extension tube reaching the bottom of the hole. Cast holes should taper so that the hole diameter is smaller at the mouth than the bottom.

Pour contents of hardener bottle into plastic tub containing base resin. Mix until homogeneous. Slowly add the filler, continue to mix until smooth grout has been obtained. Only use complete packs.

For Holes angled below the horizontal to vertically downwards, pour mixed grout into prepared holes rodding if necessary to ensure grout flows to the bottom of the hole. Insert bar into hole and gently twist and press home to the required depth. 

For grouting applications, pour material continuosly in to the pre prepared area from one side only. Where further mixes are required to fill the
void, these should be prepared in sequence such that pouring is continuous. Place mixed grout within 20 minutes after start of mixing. Place in gap widths between 2mm and 12mm. For thicker sections use E20, E33, E70 or E140 variants. Do not disturb the grouted section until the grout has hardened.

No special curing is required. Fixings should be left undisturbed until grout has hardened. 

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika^® Thinner C Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
