Epoxy Grout Thixotropic

Antel Epoxy Grout Thixotropic is an advanced two-part epoxy resin system engineered for robust and flexible grouting and bonding applications.

The grout may be applied using a bulk fill gun or skeleton gun and silicone cartridge or using a suitable hand tool.

This thixotropic grout is specifically formulated to handle a wide range of gap sizes (0.1mm to 10mm) without the need for grout-tight shuttering.

With its rapid strength gain, it delivers mechanical properties that surpass those of concrete, making it suitable for demanding conditions.

The grout is non-shrink, ensuring full fill of the grouting area, and offers excellent resistance to most chemicals, sea water, petroleum products, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Its properties make it ideal for high-vibration environments such as crane rails, stamping machinery, and structural fixings.

Key Uses:

🔹 Gap Filling Adhesive: Fills and bonds various materials effectively.

🔹 Timber Bonding: Provides a strong bond for timber applications.

🔹 Concrete, Brick, and Stone Bonding: Ideal for masonry and concrete repairs.

🔹 Patch Repair: Efficient for patching and repairing surfaces.

🔹 Vertical and Overhead Priming: Works well in challenging vertical and overhead applications.

🔹 Metal Fixing Plates and Anchor Bolts: Excellent for bedding and anchoring metal fixings and bolts.

Packaging: Available in 500g and 1kg containers.

Preparation
- Ensure all surfaces are clean and free of loose material, dust, and oily contamination.

- Remove free water but surfaces do not need to be completely dry.

- For steel surfaces, ensure they are free from rust and flaking mill scale.

Mixing:

- Combine the entire contents of Pack 'A' with Pack 'B'.
Stir slowly for three minutes until the mixture is uniform.

Application:

- Bonding: Apply the grout to surfaces and press them together.

- Cracks/Holes: Use an Antel Cartridge with a silicone gun for dispensing.

- Supporting Structures: Use a shutter (not necessarily grout-tight) and apply a silicone-based release agent or polyethylene sheet for easy release.

Cure Schedule:

Pot Life (20°C): 30 minutes
Initial Cure (20°C): 24 hours
Full Cure (25°C): 4-7 days, depending on temperature.
Cleaning:

Clean all tools immediately after use with Antel Cleaning Solvent.

Epoxy Grout Thixotropic Technical Data Sheet

1. DESCRIPTION

Antel Epoxy Grout Thixotropic is a thixotropic two part epoxy resin system. The Grout may be applied using a bulk fill gun or skeleton gun and silicone cartridge or may be applied using a suitable hand tool. Grouting of gap dimensions 0.1mm to 10mm may be achieved without the use of grout tight shuttering. The two part system gives rapid strength gain obtaining mechanical properties superior to concrete. The product is non- shrink enabling complete fill of the grouting area. The hardened grout is resistant to most chemicals, stable in sea water, petroleum products and resists freeze thaw cycles. Antel Epoxy Grout Thixotropic is ideally suited for vertical and overhead priming and for bonding concrete, brick, stone and timber together. Ideal when required to resist high levels of vibration e.g. crane rails, stamping machinery, rail fixings and anchors e.g. bedding metal fixing plates, anchor bolts, under stanchion plates and machinery and structural fixing flanges. Final compressive strength 80N/mm2

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.

4.1 Preparation:
All surfaces should be clean and free from all loose material. Free water should be removed from the surface but the surface does not need to be dry. Ensure that grouting surfaces are free from dust and oily contamination. Small gaps may be blown out using clean dry compressed air. Steel should be free of rust and flaking mill scale.

4.2 Mixing:
Mix the entire contents of pack ‘B’ with pack ‘A’ stirring for three minutes on a slow speed until uniform.

4.3 Application:
For bonding of concrete, apply Antel Thixotropic Grout to the surfaces and bring the surfaces together under slight pressure.
For cracks or holes etc. the mixed material can be placed in an Antel Cartridge complete and loaded into an ordinary silicone gun from which it can be dispensed.

The use of a shutter is recommended for Supporting Structures, although the shutter need not be completely grout tight. The Epoxy Thixotropic Injection Grout will "stay" once the application pressure is released. The shutter may be constructed from timber and sealed using Rapid Mortar or a suitable silicone sealant. Apply a silicone based release agent to the formwork surfaces which will affect release after the grout has hardened. Alternatively use thick polyethylene sheet.

4.4 Cure schedule:
Pot life @ 20°C 30 minutes
Initial cure @ 20°C 24 hours
Full cure @ 25°C 4-7 days dependent on temperature.
