EPOXY BACKING GROUT

epigen 0301

A tough infusible solvent free advanced composite system


developed to be used as a multipurpose high strength
casting and grouting polymer. Exhibits excellent chemical
resistance, corrosion resistance, and high structural
integrity under stress in both compression and tension.

This product is designed to be used effectively in hot or


cold climates, and is able to be blended with graded
aggregate without appreciable loss of strength. Addition of
graded aggregate is recommended when installation
depth is extreme or to control excessive exotherm under
hot conditions.
Suitable for use on a variety of surfaces including steel,
wood, and concrete.

CURE
Variations in cure may arise due to the amount of material
being applied, the thickness of material being applied, the
surface temperature, and the product temperature. The
cure may be increased by heating product or by leaving
mixed material stand for 15 minutes before use. The cure
may be decreased by cooling the product before mixing.
