The uniqueness and universality of the EMG‐19/3K chemistry facilitates high stress applications in such industries such as wind turbine, gas transmission, refining, chemical processing, pulp and paper, steel rail, marine and other machine base plate grouting applications in the heavy industrial equipment industries. It may be used for new equipment installations or for quick re‐ grouting and may also be used for installing anchors and dowels.
- Application
Surface Preparaton:
Prior to application of EMG‐19/3K Epoxy Grout, concrete must be dimensionally stable to customers’ requirements and have reached the design strength. ▪ The surface must be free of all contamination using mechanical means; thus creating a surface profile of exposed sound aggregate. ▪ All metal surfaces to come in contact with grout should be sandblasted to white metal finish and wiped clean with solvent. Items not intended to bond to grout, such as leveling screws, wedges, and bolts must be protected with wax, caulk, duct tape, or similar.
Forms Required:
Create a heavy‐duty form using steel, wood, or other sturdy material and proper bracing to hold the grout with force of approximately 140 pounds per cubic foot. Coat each form using a minimum of two coats of an industrial grade paste wax to enable removal of forms after cure. Forms need to have 45° angle chamfer strips at all vertical corners and horizontal grout grade elevation in order to reduce sharp corners and edges. For circular forming systems, sharp edges may be shaved/ground down per the desires of installer. Use sealants, caulk, putty or other material to prevent leaks.
Mixing:
Precondition all components to 75°F (24°C) for 24 hours before using
The materials are all premeasured
Pour all of Component B into Component A bucket and mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with a Jiffy mixer on a low‐speed (300 rpm) drill motor taking care to keep mixing apparatus submerged to prevent introduction of air into the liquid. Mix until material is a uniform consistency.
Pour well mixed A & B liquid into mortar mixer (making sure to remove all resins from sides and bottom of pail with a spatula or similar tool) and slowly add aggregate (Part C) until the mixture achieves the uniform color of the aggregate. To avoid air entrapment, add one bag at a time and mix until aggregate is thoroughly coated. Do not over mix.
Application:
Fill anchor bolt holes and block‐outs first. For flat baseplates, pour from one side to prevent air entrapment. When grouting plates, pour grout into the headbox and allow to flow under the plate.
Thickness:
EMG‐19/3K Epoxy Grout has a thickness range of 1" to 4". Thicker sections can be constructed with EMG‐19/3K Epoxy Grout if proper layering techniques are used. Please contact Coating and Binding Technology for additional application instructions. Long pours should be divided into sections not exceeding 6' in length. Longer, thicker, or thinner pours are possible, but Coating & Binding Technology should be consulted before deciding upon them.
Temperature Considerations:
During cold weather below 55°F (13°C), the foundation should be enclosed and maintained above 55°F. Wind towers or machinery may be cooler at time of pour as long as foundations are within temperature range and ambient conditions are maintained, you can proceed. The cure time of the grout will be longer during cold weather. The ambient air temperature in grouted area must be kept warm above 75°F (24°C) until the grout has cured completely. Conversely, in hot weather, do not mix and pour in extreme heat or direct sunlight. Work time will be reduced. Please consult manufacturer in temperatures above 95°F. At the completion of the curing cycle the temperature shall be lowered slowly, no more than 40°F (4.5°C) in 48 hours to avoid the possibility of damage due to sudden contraction.
Clean Up:
Clean mixing equipment using dry aggregate, soap, and water in mixing drum for a few minutes. For materials that have started to set, use Xylol, or other approved solvents. Clean hands with abrasive hand soap.
