Sikadur®-42 HS

High Strength Pourable Epoxy Grout

Sikadur®-42 HS is a 3-part pourable grout based on a combination of epoxy resins and specially graded aggregates. After mixing, it forms a flowable mortar, suitable for grouting and filling.

  • Precision grouting/casting. Holding down bolts and machines may be grouted to tolerance before or after positioning.
  • Excellent initial strength. Substantial loading may be applied after only six hours and high strength reached after 24 hours at 20 °C. No primer is required.
  • Easy to use. The ease and simplicity of Sikadur®-42 HS reduces waiting time and labour.
  • Excellent mechanical strength
  • Hardens even at high humidity
  • Excellent resistance against abrasion impact and vibration
  • Components of different colour – therefore good control of homogeneity during mixing
  • Can be applied on dry and damp surfaces (no standing water)
  • Good flow characteristics even in thin layers

Usage

  • As a self-levelling mortar on concrete, stone, mortar, plasterwork, steel, aluminium, iron, asbestos sheet, wood, polyester, epoxy, etc.
  • In rigid connections as in connecting irons, iron ties, mounting supports, tie-rods, etc.
  • Grouting of guide rails, rail posts, support plates, machine foundations, bridge supports, sleeper-less rail fixations, track bases for cranes and heavy equipments

Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Substrate and contact area of base plate must be clean, sound and free from all loose and poorly adhered parts. All oil, dirt, debris, paint and loosely adhered parts must be removed by means of an abrasive and/or mechanical process.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Concrete Surface: New concrete must be at least 3 weeks old and have a compressive strength of 25 MPa. The surface must be prepared mechanically using a scabbler, bush-hammer, shotblast or other suitable equipment to remove cement laitence and achieve an open textured surface. Removed all residue with a vacuum cleaner and repair defective areas, if any, with Sikadur®-41 CF Normal. Allow to cure.

Base Plates: Sandblasts the bottom of the baseplates and wipe clean with an approved metal-cleaning solvent.

Form Preparation: Forms must be strong and liquid tight to prevent leakages. Seal all gaps and brace the forms. Apply the surface of the forms with paste wax or use other bond breaking materials to prevent adhesion of the epoxy grout. The forms should also be high enough to permit Sikadur®-42 HS to be brought up to the side of the base plates.

MIXING

Mix all of Part B (hardener) with all of Part A (resin) for at least 2 minutes with a slow speed electric drill (maximum 500 rpm) until a smooth consistency and streakfree colour is achieved. Then add all of Part C (aggregates) and continue mixing until a homogeneous mortar is obtained. Use immediately. For large volume pours, a pan mixer may be used to mix in the Part C.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with a solvent, Thinner C, immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
