Sikadur® -42HS
High Strength Pourable Epoxy Resin Grout
®
Product Sikadur -42HS is a 3 component pourable or castable grout based on solvent free
®
Description epoxy resin and selected aggregates. Sikadur -42HS cures to form a hardened mortar
with excellent adhesion to many substrates. This combined with the product's ease of
application makes it ideally suited to site application.
®
Uses Sikadur -42HS is a high strength, shrinkage free, self levelling epoxy grout suitable for:

 Machine bases.
 Mechanical bridge joints.
 Fixing bolts and anchors
 Tire less crane rails, rails in tunnels and on bridges
 Grouting under equipment, including heavy impact and vibratory machinery,
reciprocating engines, compressors, pumps, presses, etc.
 And to fill cavities in concrete and levelling layer for pile cap and pile heads
 As a self smoothening mortar for repairing and patching horizontal surfaces
Advantages  Good flow characteristics even in thin layers.
 Suitable for both, dry and damp substrates.
 Shrinkage-free hardening.
 Curing is not affected by high humidity.
 High mechanical strengths.
 Tough vibration-resistant material.
 Insensitive to moisture during application, cure or whilst in service
 Applicable at low temperatures down to 5ºC
 High early strength
 Easily applied
 Unaffected by wide range of chemicals and oil etc.
 Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of dry and damp substrates such as
 concrete, stone, fibrous cement, synthetic resins, wood and most metals.

Application
Mixing Ratio Comp. A: B: C = 2.52 : 0.48 :12 parts by weight.

Surface preparation All surfaces must be sound clean, free from oil, grease, laitance, old coatings, frost,
standing water and all loosely adhering particles. For good bond sand, waterblast,
grind or scrabble substrates.
All anchor pockets or sleeves must be void of water. Sandblast metal base plates
to a commercial white finish (SP-10) for maximum adhesion. Apply grout
immediately to prevent re-oxidizing.
Forming - The consistency of the epoxy grout system requires the use of forms to
contain the material around the base plates. In order to prevent leakage or
seepage, all forms must be sealed. Apply polyethylene film or wax to all forms to
prevent adhesion of the grout. Prepare form work to maintain more than 100 mm (4
in) liquid head to facilitate placement. A grout box equipped with an inclined trough
attached to the form will enhance the grout’s flowability and minimize air
encapsulation.
Priming Primer is not required
®
Mixing Sikadur -42HS is supplied in factory proportioned units comprising the correct
quantities of Part A (Resin), Part B (Hardener) and Part C (Aggregate). Thoroughly
stir Parts A and B separately using a slow running drill stirrer with a spiral mixer
(max. Speed 250 rpm). Decant all of Part B into Part A and mix thoroughly together
until a uniform mix is achieved (typically 3 mins). Continue to mix whilst adding Part
C slowly .Ensure the attainment of an even color and an even distribution of
aggregate throughout the mix. Do not exceed 250 rpm. Allow to stand for 2-3
minutes to release any entrained air.
®
Application Mixed Sikadur -42HS should be poured into the void or formwork from one side to
avoid the entrapment of air. Continuous grout flow is essential and there must be
sufficient grout available before pouring.
Machine Base Plates & Crane Rails: An adequate head must be maintained to
ensure continuous flow. Continue pouring until the grout rises above the level of the
plate. At no time during application should the grout head be less than 75 mm
above the level of the plate. This, as well as adequate vent holes, is essential to
ensure no air is trapped.
Anchor Bolts and Dowels: For bolts placed into pre-formed holes, fill the hole with
®
Sikadur -42HS and place into the grout.
Cleaning Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with Sika Colma Cleaner®.
®
Material Temperature Sikadur -42HS must be applied at temperatures between +5°C and +30°C
Condition the material by also storing at this temperature for 48 hours before use
Pot Life (15 Kg mix.) 30 min at 25°C
Important  Maximum thickness per layer: 5 - 6 cm.
®
 Do not apply Sikadur -42HS to surfaces with standing water.
 Do not part mix containers.
 Only mix as much as can be applied within the stated pot life.
 Do not dilute the product with solvent as this will affect both the cure and in-
service performance.
 Constant in service temperatures>70ºC may affect the performance of the
product.
 Do not apply in large areas unless a damp proof membrane is in place.
 If applying in layers subsequent layers must be applied within 24 hours of the
first layer being applied and after the previous layer has cooled to ambient
temperature.
 Minimum age of new concrete, 3 to 6 weeks.
®
 The temperature at which the Sikadur -42HS is stored during the 24 hours
before it is mixed will govern its pot life when mixed.
®
 Sikadur -42HS will rise in temperature when mixing. The extent of this
temperature rise will depend upon the volume to surface ratio and the ambient
and substrate temperature.
 Compressive strengths etc. Of epoxy resins must be qualified by the testing
method eg. Test Standard or size of specimen under test and the rate at
which the test piece is loaded while under test, as these factors will affect the
result markedly faster loading rates will generally give higher ultimate loads
and vice versa. Also a specimen at lower temperature will show higher
strengths and vice versa.
