At Adcos International, our portfolio offers a comprehensive range of specialised chemicals to combat water ingress and structure leakage repairs, including epoxy grout.
Epoxy grout is a durable and versatile material commonly used in various commercial and industrial applications, especially high-strength applications. It is typically composed of epoxy resin and a filler powder, which is mixed together to form a thick, paste-like consistency.
Unlike traditional cement-based grout, epoxy grout is highly resistant to stains, chemicals, water, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for use in areas prone to moisture and heavy traffic and to fill joints subject to severe vibration or stress.
Epoxy grouting is a specialised type of grouting utilised in high-strength applications. This solution is derived from a mixture of epoxy resin and hardener and is often used to fill joints subject to severe vibration or stress.
Precision Application
We employ advanced techniques and tools to ensure the precise application of epoxy grout. Our team carefully prepares surfaces, ensuring they are clean and primed for optimal adhesion. The epoxy is then expertly applied to create a seamless, durable bond that resists cracking and wear.
Customised Solutions
Every project is unique, and we tailor our epoxy grouting services to meet specific needs. Whether it’s for industrial flooring, tile installations, or high-traffic areas, we select the appropriate epoxy formulation and adjust our approach to deliver the best results. Our customised solutions ensure that the grout performs exceptionally well under the intended conditions.
Quality Assurance and Aftercare
We prioritise quality at every stage of the process, from initial consultation to final inspection. Our team conducts thorough checks to ensure that the epoxy grout is applied correctly and meets the highest standards. Additionally, we provide aftercare advice and support to help you maintain the integrity and appearance of your epoxy grout over time.
Epoxy grout comes in various formulations, with different types suitable for different projects. Therefore, it is essential to understand the different types of epoxy grout available on the market to ensure you make an informed decision regarding its application.
There are two primary types of epoxy grout:
This type of epoxy grout requires the mixing of the epoxy resin and a hardener before it can be applied to the joint or crack.
As its name implies, this type of epoxy grout is already mixed and only needs to be applied to the joint or crack.
By choosing the right type of epoxy grout and ensuring it is applied correctly, you can enjoy many years of trouble-free performance.
Epoxy grout offers various pivotal features including:
Due to these features, the material offers various advantages:
However, users should also be aware of the following disadvantages:
Epoxy grout is a versatile and durable construction material that finds numerous commercial applications across various industries. Its exceptional strength, stain resistance, and durability make it an ideal choice for the most demanding environments.
In areas prone to dampness and heavy water ingress, such as basements, underground parking structures, and industrial facilities, epoxy grout provides a durable and waterproof seal. Its non-porous nature and resistance to water penetration make it ideal for sealing cracks, joints, and gaps, effectively preventing water intrusion and mitigating the risk of moisture-related damage.
Epoxy grout also offers a reliable and long-lasting solution for structure leakage repair, with its high strength and adhesion properties enabling it to fill voids and crevices in concrete structures, creating a watertight barrier that prevents further leakage. Whether addressing leaks in building foundations, retaining walls, or underground pipelines, epoxy grout provides a cost-effective and efficient repair method.
Applying epoxy grout is a relatively straightforward process. However, you must keep several essential things in mind before you begin to ensure the best results.
Firstly, the area to be repaired must be clean, dry, and free from any dirt, grease, or moisture, as these elements can prevent the epoxy resin from bonding properly.
Subsequently, the epoxy resin and hardener should be mixed thoroughly to ensure the epoxy sets correctly and will not bond to the surface. Once mixed properly, the epoxy grout can be injected into the crack or joint using a pressure machine, filling it.
After application, let the epoxy grout sit for several hours before fully curing. Remember to keep the area undisturbed during this process to ensure it bonds correctly. Once dry, the epoxy grout will create a robust, water-resistant barrier that will last for many years.
