INJECTION GROUT

Description
Dr. Fixit Epoxy Injection Grout is a solvent less crack injection material composed of very low viscous liquid
epoxy resin & amine hardener system. It is used to seal & inject cracks in concrete floors, walls & structures
because it provides deep penetration, shrink free solid mass, strong bonding inside the cracks and excellent
resistance to honey combing & chemicals.
206 Dr. Fixit Epoxy Injection Grout

Standard Compliance / Specification Meets the requirement of BS 6319 & ASTM C 881 standards.

Typical Application
}} Permanent bonding solution for concrete cracks.
}} Repair of crack concrete areas in floors, walls, tanks & sea walls.
}} Injection in to cracks & honey combing in concrete & masonry.

Features
}} Speciality - Specially formulated for Middle East climatic conditions.
}} Bonding – Seals & bonds strongly with cracks of concrete, floors & walls and provides smooth working
surface & avoids damage of the concrete substrate.
}} Penetration – Low viscosity helps in deep penetration into the cracks. Thus seals the cracks permanently.
}} Repairs – Because of low viscosity, strong bonding, higher strength development than parent concrete, shrink
free nature & waterproofing characteristics, makes it suitable for repairs of heavy concrete structures like
bridges, dams, buildings, etc.
}} Resistant – Resistance to aggressive chemicals, corrosion, abrasion & dust formation.
}} Moisture Insensitive – Excellent adhesion to cement substrate even under salt water & moisture.

}}Surface must be strong, dry, clean & free from dust, oil, grease, curing compounds, coatings & other
loose materials. For better performance sand blasting, high pressure water jet cleaning, hydrochloric acid
etching, mechanical grinding (by pneumatic tools) & wire brushing may be done. In case of acid etching, wash
the surface till neutralization.
}} Open the cracks & clean by blow of oil free air to ensure complete removal of dust & loose particles.

}}Drill holes into the crack of diameter higher than the grouting nipples up to a depth of at lease 1/3rd of
structural member.
}}I nsert injection nipples / nozzles in to the drill holes at the intervals along the length of etch crack.
The distance between each nipple will depend on width & depth of crack. Spacing should be close enough to
ensure that the resin penetrates along the cracks till the next point of injection.
}} he surface of the cracks in between the nipples should be sealed with Dr. Fixit concretes about 30-40 mm wide
T
& 2-3 mm thick band. Incase the crack is through & through of a wall or slab, cracks at both the sides must be
sealed in similar fashion. First fix the nozzles in the front portion crack, then fix the nozzles at midway points of
the front nozzles. This ensures complete filling of grout into crack & surrounding areas.
}} he repaired work shall be allowed to cure for atleast 8 hrs at 350C, at low temperature of 5-120C curing time
T
is extended and the applicator must ensure that the surface sealant has adequately cured prior to continuing
the work.

}}One end of the injection hose shall be attached to the lowest nipple on vertical cracks or to either end
of the horizontal cracks. Alternative methods of resin injection are currently in use, they include the system
where injection nipples are bonded to the substrate.

}}Dr. Fixit Epoxy Injection Grout should be used with standard injection equipment having closed containers. The
injection pressure should be at least 0.2 n/mm2 (2 bar).
}} Only mix sufficient resin that can be used within the pot life of the materials.
}} fter completion of the injection work, the injection system shall be allowed to cure for 24 hours and shall be
A
left undisturbed for this time

Precautions & Limitations

}} Use the material within the pot life expiry period.
}} Mix entire pack quantity.
}} Do not dilute the material with solvents to reduce the viscosity.
}} Ensure that nozzles are fixed properly without any air leakage.
