EPIREZ Instant Grout Rapid Strength Cement-Based Grout
EPIREZ Instant Grout is a fast-setting, cement-based, non-metallic, non-shrink grout designed for precision grouting where rapid strength gain is required. It is supplied as a ready-to-use dry powder that only requires the addition of water.
The high-performance grout provides a flowable consistency, high effective bearing area and chemical resistance superior to concrete. It is suitable for large heavy operating equipment, precision grouting in cold conditions, rapid anchoring and fast patching.
EPIREZ Instant Grout develops strength rapidly, with compressive strength reaching 20.7 MPa at 2 hours, 30.2 MPa at 4 hours and 41 MPa at 24 hours. Large, heavy operating equipment can be started up after 4 hours, subject to site conditions.
Mixing
Measure 1.8–2.1 litres of water per 15kg pail, depending on the required consistency. Slowly add EPIREZ Instant Grout to the water and mix thoroughly using a high-shear mechanical mixer at approximately 400–500 rpm.
Mix for 2 minutes after all powder has been added. Do not exceed 2.10 litres of water per 15kg pail.
Application
EPIREZ Instant Grout must be placed within 10 minutes of mixing. It can be mixed to a dry-pack, plastic or flowable consistency and may be dry packed, trowelled, flowed or vibrated into place.
The grout can be placed up to 75mm and may be placed using mechanical devices such as plungers, rods or vibrators to assist placement.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces should be free from oil, grease, laitance and loose material. Defective or weak concrete should be cleaned back to a sound base. Bolt holes and fixing pockets should be blown clean of dirt and debris.
At least 2 hours before grouting, flood the prepared foundation with fresh water for pre-soaking. Immediately before grouting, remove all standing water and inspect bolt holes and pockets to ensure water has been removed.
Formwork
Formwork should be placed around the baseplate to assist quick and easy grout placement. It should extend above the underside of the baseplate and be securely fixed and watertight. Treat formwork with a suitable concrete release agent.
Colour accuracy disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
