Epoxy Grouts - Sikadur®-42 Grout-Pak
Pre-proportioned, epoxy, baseplate grouting system
Sikadur®-42 Grout-Pak is a 3-component, 100 % solids, moisture-tolerant, epoxy baseplate grouting system.
- Ready to mix, pre-proportioned kit
- Moisture-tolerant
- Corrosion and impact resistant
- Stress and chemical resistant
- Long working time
- High vibration resistance
- Fast strength gain
- Low peak exothermic system for large pours
- High effective bearing area

Usage
- Precision seating of baseplates
- Precision grouting of wind turbine tower bases requiring rapid strength gain
- Grouting under equipment, including heavy impact and vibratory machinery, reciprocating engines, compressors, pumps, presses, etc.
- Grouting for “pour-back” anchorage on post tensioning projects (e.g. segmental bridge)
- Grouting under crane rails

Application Steps
SUBSTRATE PREPARATIONSubstrate and baseplate contact area must be clean, sound, and free of standing water. Remove dust, laitance, oils, grease, curing compounds, waxes, impregnations, foreign particles, coatings and disintegrated materials by mechanical means (i.e., sandblasting, bush hammering). Sandblast metal baseplates to a commercial white finish for maximum adhesion. Apply grout immediately to prevent re-oxidizing. Concrete substrate must have reached its desired strength (3,000 psi minimum) and must be dimensionally stable.
MIXING0.5 ft3 kit: Pour the entire contents of Components A & B into an appropriate mixing vessel (e.g. 5 gal.) bucket) and mix for 30 seconds with a 1/2 in. Jiffy mixing paddle (5 in. blade diameter) on a low-speed (400-600 rpm) 3/4 in. drive rotary drill, taking care not to entrain air during mixing. Do not over-mix. It is critical to the performance of the grout that there be no appreciable air bubbles in the resin. Slowly add the entire contents of Component C and mix until uniformly blended (approx. 5 minutes).
1.5 ft3 kit: Pour the entire contents of Components A & B into an appropriate mixing vessel (e.g. 5 gal. bucket) and mix for 30 seconds with a 1/2 in. Jiffy mixing paddle (5 in. blade diameter) on a low-speed (400- 600 rpm) 3/4 in. drive rotary drill, taking care not to entrain air during mixing. Do not over-mix. It is critical to the performance of the grout that there be no appreciable air bubbles in the resin. Transfer the mixed resin to an appropriate mixing vessel. Slowly add the entire 3 bags of Component ‘C’ and mix until uniformly blended (approx. 5 minutes).
