EPOMAX-MT

EPOMAX-MT is a 3-component, pourable, high strength, non-shrink grout, based on a two component solvent-free epoxy resin (Parts A & B) and a special selected quartz sand (Part C). It provides:

  • Very good fluidity
  • High initial and final strength
  • Excellent bond strength to steel and concrete
  • Resistance to impact and vibration
  • Chemical resistance
  • Waterproofing

Certified according to EN 1504-3 and EN 1504-6 as a mortar for concrete repairs and as an anchoring product for reinforcing steel bars respectively. CE marked.

EPOMAX-MT is used in a wide range of grouting applications where high strength is required, such as:

  • Anchore bolts
  • Machine bedding
  • Bridge bearings
  • Stanchions

It can also be used as a pourable mortar for repair in damaged concrete elements.

Substrate
The surface should be:

  • Dry and stable
  • Free of materials that prevent adhesion, e.g. dust, loose particles, grease, formwork oils, existing surface treatment with concrete curing agents, old coatings, etc.

Depending on the nature of the substrate, it should be prepared by brushing, grinding, sandblasting, water blasting, shot blasting, etc. Following this, the surface should be cleaned from dust by air blasting.

Formwork
The formwork used for casting the grout must be leakproof and arranged to allow gravity flow to fill completely the void to be grouted. Formwork should be coated with formwork release agent such as SPLIT-2000, to allow easy removal of forms.

Mixing of the components
Components A (resin) B (hardener) and C (sand) are packaged in separate containers, having the correct predetermined mixing ratio by weight. First, stir component A vigorously. Then, add the entire contents of component B to component A. Mixing of the 2 components should take place for about 1-2 minutes, using a low-speed mixer (300 rpm). It is important to stir thoroughly the mixture near the sides and bottom of the container, to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener. Place the mixted A and B components into a large clean mixing bucket and continue mixing while adding component C slowly to keep air entrapment at a minimum. The mixing is being done by using a low-speed mixer (300 rpm) until an event distribution of the aggregates throughout the mix has been achieved (approx. for 3-5 minutes).

Application – Consumption
Mixed EPOMAX-MT should be poured into the formwork from one side continuously, to avoid air entrapment. For bolt anchoring fill first at least half the volume of the performed holes before placing the bold in the grout. 
Maximum layer thickness is 5 cm. If necessary, apply a successive layer within 24 hours from the application of the first layer.

  • The workability of epoxy materials is affected by their temperature. The ideal temperature of application is between +15 oC and +25 oC so that the product will be easy to use and cure as prescribed. Room temperature below +15 oC will extend the curing time while temperature above +30 oC will accelerate it. It is recommended to mildly preheat the product during winter and store the product in a cool room before application during summer. 
  • Bonding between successive layers may be severely affected by moisture or dirt.
  • After hardening, EPOMAX-MT is totally safe for health.
  • Epoxy layers should be protected from moisture for 4-6 hours after application. Moisture may whiten the surface or/and make it sticky. It may also disturb hardening. Faded or sticky layers in parts of the surface should be removed by grinding or milling and laid again.
  • In case recoat time is longer than expected or in case old floors are to be overlaid again, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and ground before application of the new layer.
  • Please consult the directions for safe use and precautions written on the packaging before use.
