Hychem Hygrout 270 — High performance epoxy grout

Sub-Base preparation – Ensure foundation concrete is properly cured. All surfaces should be clean and free from rust, dust, oil, wax, grease and standing water. Concrete should be scabbled if necessary to remove any weak, crumbly materials. Formwork should be treated with release agent where required. The foundation should be shaded from direct sunlight to prevent build up of excessive temperatures.

Plate and equipment preparation – The bonding surfaces of the base plate to be grouted should be free of coatings, wax, grease or scale. Wax or mask all external areas likely to be affected by rising grout.

Forming – Forms must be liquid tight and ideally should have a moveable head sloped at 45 degrees to enhance grout placement. The top of the form must be a minimum of 18mm above the equipment being grouted; edges should be a minimum of 25mm from each base plate.

The resin is mixed with hardener at the designated mix ratios.

Mix mechanically at 400 rpm for approximately 2 minutes then scrape down sides and continue mixing for a further 1 minute.

Ensure both components are thoroughly mixed together before placement. The product must be mixed slowly to minimize the incorporation air.

Pour mixed materials slowly into the prepared void from one side only and fill the cavity continuously to avoid air entrapment.

Hychem Epoxy Grouts

HyGrout 270 is one product in the Hychem epoxy grout range.

HYGROUT 200 and HYGROUT 210 compliment the range and with these three products it is possible to service grouting applications with thickness’s ranging from <1mm to >400mm.

Epoxies generate heat as they cure and as grout jobs can require large volumes in a single pour the potential for significant heat development exists. It is therefore important to select the correct product for your application. Please contact Hychem for any assistance required.
