CERA GROUT EP 42 is a low exothermic solvent free epoxy resin grout for demanding
structural applications including anchoring and grouting of machinery foundations, heavy-
duty supports for crane and rails, machineries subject to heavy and dynamic loads etc.

ADVANTAGES:

Free flowing, self leveling and non-shrink
Helps in rapid installation and gains high strength
Resistant to acids and alkalis
Capable of transmitting high stresses and impact resistance
Capable of withstanding repetitive dynamic loading
High compressive, flexural and tensile strength
Moisture insensitive


FUNCTION:

Cera Grout EP 42 develops a slight but
controlled expansion, beginning at the
time of placement, resulting in excellent
dimensional stability. Because of its non-
shrink characteristics, it remains stable in
place without cracking, crumbling or
delamination.

USES:

Cera Grout EP 42 can be used for fixing
tie rods, fasteners, anchors, posts, etc in
structural concrete.

Cera Grout EP 42 is ideal for grouting
the base plates of rails of high speed
trains.

Cera Grout EP 42 is recommended for
use for grouting base plates of light and
heavy machineries including dynamic and
static type, bridge bearings, column base
plates, etc.

Cera Grout EP 42 can be used as a high
strength grout for installation and early
commissioning of various equipments.

Cera Grout EP 42 can be used for plate
bonding in repair and strengthening
applications.

Cera Grout EP 42 can be used as a
grouting material for fixing small fixtures
such as reflectors, struts, mechanical
speed breakers, etc. in roads.

METHOD OF APPLICATION:

Depending on site conditions and specific
site requirements, the product will be
supplied with modification to help ease in
application. Consult Cera-Chem technical
cell for specific application procedure.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Foundation or concrete surface
All surfaces must be free from oil, grease,
and laitance, remnants of curing
compounds or shuttering oil and loosely

High performance, non-shrink, low
exothermic solvent free epoxy grout
adherent materials. All dust must be
cleaned off from bolt holes, fixing pockets
etc by blowing or vacuum suction.

Steel Surfaces:

All steel surfaces should be made clear of
rust and dust. It should be shot blasted to
free of flaky mill scales. Cleaned surfaces
should be protected using a primer.

Form Work:

Formwork provided for Cera Grout EP
42 should be leak proof as the low viscous
material can leak out through the gaps if
any before it hardens.

Cera Grout EP 42 is compatible with all
types of concrete, cement based grouts,
polymer modified cement system etc.
