Sikadur -42TH (former Sikadur -742RT)

3 -Components Epoxy Resin Castable Grout

Description A solvent-free, 3-component, pourable grout, based on a combination of

high strength epoxy resins and specially graded aggregates. After mixing,
it forms a flowable mortar, suitable for grouting and filling.

Uses Sikadur -42TH is a high strength self levelling material with no shrinkage.
It is suitable to grout :
- Bridge bearing plates
- Machine bases
- Fixing bolts and anchors
- Crane rail tracks
- Reinforcement
- And to fill cavities in concrete

Advantages Sikadur -42TH offers many advantages to the users :

- Solvent-free
- Good flow characteristics even in thin layers
- Rapid hardening according to grade used
- Suitable for both dry and damp surfaces
- Shrinkage-free hardening
- Curing is not affected by high humidity
- High mechanical strengths
- Tough vibration-resistant material

Instructions for Use

Surface preparation All surfaces should be clean, free from standing water and all loosely
adhering particles. Cement laitance should be removed by mechanical
means (i.e. sand blasting)

Priming Primer is not required

Mixing Mix components A and B together for at least one minute with a slow
speed electric drill (max. 400 R.P.M.) Then add aggregate (component C)
and continue mixing until a homogeneous, flowing mortar is achieved.

Application When grouting under bearing plates, ensure there is sufficient pressure to
maintain movement of the grout. Air must be allowed to escape.
For large volumes, apply in more than one layer, ensuring that the previous
layers have hardened and cooled.

Cleaning Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with Thinner C.
