Sikadur® -42
Epoxy Resin Castable Grout
Product Sikadur® -42 is a solvent-free, 3-component, pourable grout, based on a
Description combination of high strength epoxy resins and specially graded aggregates.
Uses Sikadur® -42 is a high strength, shrinkage free, self levelling epoxy grout suitable
for:
„ Bridge bearing plates.
Construction

„ Machine bases.
„ Mechanical bridge joints.
„ Fixing bolts and anchors
„ Tire less crane rails, rails in tunnels and on bridges
„ Reinforcement
„ And to fill cavities in concrete.
Advantages Sikadur® -42 is available in two different grades of reactivity (normal and long pot
life), depending on climatic conditions. Other benefits are:
„ Solvent-free.
„ Good flow characteristics even in thin layers.
„ Rapid hardening according to grade used.
„ Suitable for both, dry and damp substrates.
„ Shrinkage-free hardening.
„ Curing is not affected by high humidity.
„ High mechanical strengths.
„ Tough vibration-resistant material.

 Application
Mixing Ratio Comp. A : B : C = 2:1:12 parts by weight Normal/L.P.
2:1:7 parts by volume Normal/L.P.
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.
Priming Primer is not required
Mixing Mix components (A+B) together for at least one minute with a slow speed electric
drill (max. 250 R.P.M.). Then add aggregate (component C) and continue mixing for
approx. 3 minutes until a homogeneous, flowable 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 Sika Colma Cleaner®.
