As with all epoxy resin applications, the quality of surface preparation has a direct effect on the performance and durability of the system. The surface onto which the grout is to be applied should be scabbled to remove laitance and expose the aggregate. Do not use bush hammers or similar preparation equipment that can crush the aggregate but leave it in place. The substrates must be sound, dimensionally stable, clean, dust free, and free from all traces of oil, curing compound, gypsum, paint, corrosion deposits or algae, or laitance which would impair adhesion.
All metal components to be in contact with AnchorPro EP GP must be mechanically abraded to a bright white metal finish for maximum adhesion. Remove all corrosion from the exposed steel in accordance with ICRI Technical Guideline No 03730.
Formwork:
Care should be taken to ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking during the placing and curing of the grout. This can be achieved by using a foam rubber strip or mastic sealant beneath the constructed formwork & between joints.
Underplate grouting:
The unrestrained surface area of the grout must be kept to a minimum. Generally, the gap between the perimeter formwork & the plate edge should not exceed 75mm on the pouring side & 25mm on the opposite side. Use oil-free compressed air to blow out as necessary.
The area should be free of excessive vibration. Where AnchorPro EP GP is to be poured, ensure access is available and a head of pressure can be maintained. Shut down adjacent machinery until the grout has hardened.
