    Fast Setting High Early Strength Epoxy Grout

    EPOCRETE XP is a high-performance, solvent-free epoxy grout formulated for rapid strength gain and efficient installation. Suitable for gap widths from 10 to 250 mm, it reaches compressive strength comparable to plain concrete within four hours at 20°C and can be applied at ambient temperatures from 5°C up to 35°C. Its non-shrink composition ensures strong adhesion, while its resilience under dynamic loads and resistance to thermal stress and chemical exposure make it ideal for heavy-duty applications. From industrial equipment bases to structural grouting, this user-friendly solution offers long-lasting durability with simple, full-pack mixing for consistent results.

    Technical data:
    • Appearance : grey paste
    • Minimum Grout Depth : 10 mm
    • Maximum Grout Depth : 250 mm
    • Packaging : 3 kits (base, hardener, filler)

    How to Apply Epocrete xp

    Epocrete XP is a three-component, fast setting epoxy grout gravity-poured under baseplates from a head box.

    1. Prepare the concrete. Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from oil, grease, water, paints and dust. Chip, chisel, bush hammer or shotblast down to sound concrete and remove any oil-soaked concrete. No separate bonding agent is needed, but the concrete must be totally dry when the grout is poured.
    2. Set the baseplate. Check steel baseplates for cleanliness and remove any oil, rust or dirt. Install the plate over the anchor bolts and set it to elevation on shim packs, leveling screws or anchor bolt nuts.
    3. Build forms and head box. Form around the baseplate to give watertight containment. On one side, build a head box with the outside form at a 45 degree angle to ease pouring and develop head pressure for gravity grouting.
    4. Mix the full kit. Stir base and hardener separately for two minutes, pour all of Part B into Part A and mix for 2–3 minutes. Slowly add Part C (filler) while mixing for 2–3 minutes more to a uniform color, using a slow-speed drill with paddle. Never mix partially or by hand.
    5. Pour from one side. Pour from one side only, across the shortest distance, keeping a constant head of preferably at least 15 cm on the pouring side and allowing 10 cm clearance between form and base plate. Use the mix within its working time (25 minutes) and discard material that starts to stiffen.
    6. Control temperature. Keep all materials as close to 20°C as possible; cold delays set and warmth shortens working time. The maximum application temperature is 35°C; shade the working area and tools in summer.
    7. Strip forms. Forms may be stripped once the grout has hardened and will not slump away. No further curing procedure is needed.
    8. Clean tools. Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with Armosolvent. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How fast does Epocrete XP gain strength?

    Tested at 20°C, compressive strength is 20 MPa at 4 hours, 60 MPa at 12 hours, 78 MPa at 1 day, 89 MPa at 3 days and 100 MPa at 7 days. It is designed to take loads in 4 hours at normal ambient temperature.

    What gap widths can Epocrete XP grout?

    Epocrete XP is formulated for gaps with widths from 10 to 250 mm.

    What is the working time of Epocrete XP?

    Working time is 25 minutes. Temperature strongly affects working and cure time: cold extends working time, heat shortens it, so keep materials as close to 20°C as possible.

    Which chemicals is Epocrete XP resistant to?

    The TDS rates resistance as excellent to 15% sulfuric acid, 15% hydrochloric acid, 15% caustic soda, hydraulic fluid and salt solutions, good to xylene, and poor to MEK and acetic acid.

    Does Epocrete XP need curing after placement?

    No. Forms may be stripped once the grout has hardened and will not slump away, and no further curing procedure is needed.
