Epoxy Injection Grout & Resin

Product reference: 3/07

Product title: Epoxy Injection Grout & Resin

Valid from: 15th January 2001

Last reviewed: May 2019

Type

A two-pack cold cured epoxy injection material with high tensile strength.

Suggested use

Both products are designed for use as a high tensile strength
crack filler for concrete, applied using injection methods.
CorrocoatEpoxy Injection Resin is a low viscositymaterial,
designed for use on small and narrow cracks, Corrocoat
Epoxy Injection Grout is a higher viscosity filled material,
appropriate for cracks wider than 2mm.

Limitations

Do not use at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

Health & safety

Before handling or using this product, the material safety data
sheets should be read and all precautions observed.

Surface preparation

Corrocoat Epoxy Injection Grout and Resin may be
applied onto damp concrete surfaces with minimal surface
preparation. For best results however the surface laitance
should be removed and the concrete abraded then
vacuumed prior to application.

Application equipment

Airless 45:1 or higher spray pump, diaphragm pump or
similar positive displacement pump.

Application

Apressure plate should be prepared sufficiently large to cover
the crack to be injected. Inlet and outlets (minimum diameter
½” or 12.5 mm nominal bore) shall be positioned in such a
way to be at each end of the crack. Valves to be fitted to the inlet and outlet. For large or deep cracks additional air bleed
pipes may be required.
Using rawl bolts or similar, firmly attach the plate to the
surface. Use small diameter ‘o’ ring or similar, either side
of the crack to affect a seal, clamp the ‘o’ ring between
the plate and the concrete.
Pump the product at low pressure from one end only until
the product flows freely from the outlet, for best results on
vertical cracks pump from the bottom upwards. Close the
outlet valve and leave the plate under a pressure of circa 2
bar for at least 1 hour. (If the pressure continues to drop over
this period this would indicate large quantities of product are
flowing through and out of the crack, stop pumping and allow
the product to cure. Remove the plate to assess the extent of
the filling and continue the injection with material as above.)
After 1 hour close the inlet valve, flush spray equipment and
lines with solvent, leave the crack under pressure for at least
24 hours. After 24 hours remove the pressure plate, fill and
dress the crack by hand if required.
