SpecPoxy Grout Best practices and tips Storage Part A, Part B and Part C of SpecPoxy Grout should be stored in temperatures between 55°F-85°F •

Set time of material will be maintained

• Materials stored in cold temperatures will be difficult to mix and slow to react

• Materials stored in extremely hot temperatures will mix easily but will react very quickly

Maintains flowability and strength gain properties

Mixing •

Mix Part A & Part B separately

Always add the thinner component to mixing bucket first, Part B to Part A, and mix thoroughly

• Mixing the epoxy in a 5 gallon pail prior to adding it to the mortar mix will ensure thorough mixing

• This process will make mixing much easier

• Avoid a vortex while mixing, as this can entrap air

After thoroughly mixing Part A and Part B together, add to a horizontal mortar mixer

Add Part C aggregate slowly, one bag at a time

Mix until all aggregate is completely coated with epoxy

Clean up •

Unreacted, or unhardened SpecPoxy Grout can be cleaned with either Solvent 100 or Orange Peel

Sand can be used as an abrasive to clean mixing tools

Features • Special aggregate allows high flow capability for limited access grout placement without segregation • Excellent volume stability for maximum bond and load transfer in applications subjected to dynamic loading • Fast-cure and high early strength for minimal down time • High compressive, bond, and tensile strength for maximum durability in vibration applications Follow us
