Polpox EP HS 942
(Epoxy, High Strength, Ultra-Fast Curing, Grouting System)

Description:
Polpox EP HS 942 is a solventless, epoxy resin system having very high mechanical properties, in-built flexibility,
very fast curing to achieve mechanical properties at room temprature.It has excellent adhesion to concrete, metals &
other construction material used in construction industry.

Salient Features:
 Low viscosity injection grout, Primer, High strength epoxy mortar
 Capability to penetrate in concrete porosity and cracks
 Excellent bonding to metal as well as concrete surface
 Capable of curing in dry, moist & wet condition(underwater)
 Good mechanical & chemical properties
 Ultra-fast development of strength
 Free from unreactive diluents /solvents

Application Areas:
 Bridges bearing plates
 Machine Bases
 Fixing bolts and anchors eve for dynamic loading
 Rail tracks, vertically placed dowel bars
 Coating and repairs of water tanks

Application Methods:
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be sound, clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, cement laitance and all loosely adhering particles.
All loose concrete should be removed and mechanically abraded to get ruff surface to improve adhesion of epoxy
mortar/coating.

If possible use hot air blower to remove moisture/ water wherever possible. However, Polpox EP HS 942 capable of
curing in moist/ underwater.

For early strength hot air blower to be used when ambient temperature is below 25°C

Primer / Seal Coat:

System No.1 Polpox EP HS 942 R = 100 PBW
Polpox EP HS 942 H = 40 PBW

Application By brush / Roller

Mortar Properties
System No.2 Polpox EP HS 942 R = 100 Pbw
Polpox EP HS 942 H = 40 Pbw
Quartz Sand M 10 grade = 200 - 600 Pbw

Application Pour the mixed grout into the prepared forms from one or two sides only to eliminate air
entrapment.
