Introduction
In the construction and engineering industries, it is essential to use reliable and high-quality products to ensure safety and efficiency. This article focuses on the uses and advantages of Fosroc Conbextra EP120, an epoxy grout manufactured by Fosroc Chemicals India Private Limited and marketed in India by their authorized distributor, Space Arc Engineering .

Fosroc Chemicals and Space Arc Engineering
Fosroc Chemicals India Private Limited is a leading manufacturer of construction materials and solutions. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized distributor for the Fosroc range of products, markets and supplies these products throughout India .
.
What is Fosroc Conbextra EP120?
Conbextra EP120 is an epoxy resin grout without solvents that can fill gaps with a width of 10 to 75 mm. It offers resistance to chemical leakage and is utilised when significant dynamic or mobile loads are present .

Main uses of Conbextra EP120
Heavy dynamic or mobile loads
Conbextra EP120 is used for applications that involve heavy dynamic or mobile loads, such as :
  • Reciprocating machinery
  • Testing equipment
  • Heavy crane and transporter rails
  • High-speed turbines and centrifuges
  • Drop forges

Chemical spillage resistance
Conbextra EP120 is also suitable for use in conditions where chemical spillage may be encountered, such as :
  • Steelworks
  • Refineries
  • Electroplating works
  • Chemical plants

Advantages of Conbextra EP120

Low creep characteristics
Conbextra EP120 has low creep characteristics under sustained loading, ensuring stability and longevity .

Resistant to repetitive dynamic loads
The grout is designed to withstand repetitive dynamic loads, making it suitable for heavy machinery and equipment .

Non-shrink and complete surface contact
Conbextra EP120 is non-shrink, ensuring complete surface contact and bond between the grout and substrate .

High strength
The epoxy grout has high compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths, contributing to the overall stability and support of structures .

Fast and convenient installation
Conbextra EP120 is designed for fast and convenient installation, with early strength gain .

Chemical resistance
The grout can withstand a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for use in environments where chemical spillage or exposure is likely .

Conbextra EP120 product description
Conbextra EP120 is a three-component system that consists of a base, resin, liquid hardener, and specially graded inert fillers. This combination provides excellent performance and durability in various applications .

Technical support from Fosroc
A wide selection of high-performance, high-quality products for concrete construction and repair are available from Fosroc. Additionally, they offer contractors, end users, and specifiers technical support services as well as on-site technical help at several sites across the nation .

Properties of Conbextra EP120
Conbextra EP120 has a density of 1950 kg/m3 and exhibits impressive compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths. Its properties make it suitable for demanding applications where strength and durability are essential .

Chemical resistance
Conbextra EP120 is resistant to most chemicals, mild acids and alkalis, fresh and salt water, grease, oil, and fats. It is therefore perfect for use in a range of settings where there may be chemical exposure .

Pot life and exotherm
The pot life of Conbextra EP120 varies depending on ambient temperature, with longer working times available at higher temperatures. Exotherm development is also affected by volume, surface area, and surrounding materials .

Application instructions

Preparation
Ensure all contact surfaces are free from oil, grease, standing water, or any loosely adherent material. Concrete surfaces should be cut back to a sound base, while steel surfaces should be shot blasted to remove rust and flaky mill scale. Cleaned surfaces may be protected with Nitoprime 28 .

Mixing
Pour the hardener packs into the base container and mix until homogenous. Pour the liquid into a larger container and add the provided filler. Mix using a slow-speed power mixer until a uniform color is achieved .

Placing
Pour the mixed grout steadily from one side to eliminate trapped air. Maintain continuous grout flow and ensure sufficient grout is available before starting .

Flow characteristics
The maximum distance of flow is governed by the gap thickness, hydrostatic head, and ambient temperature. Consult product specifications for optimal flow design .

Cleaning and limitations
Clean tools and equipment with Nitoflor Sol solvent immediately after use. Spillages should be absorbed and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Grouting may be carried out without special precautions at certain ambient temperatures; consult product guidelines for specific limitations.

Estimating and storage
Conbextra EP120 comes in 8-liter packets and has a 12-month shelf life when kept in unopened containers in a typical warehouse environment .

Precautions and safety
Conbextra EP120 contains resins that may cause sensitization through skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection. If skin contact occurs, use a resin-removing cream followed by soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse with clean water and seek medical attention immediately.

Conclusion
Fosroc Conbextra EP120 is a versatile and reliable epoxy grout with numerous advantages for construction and engineering applications. Its strength, durability, and chemical resistance make it an ideal choice for projects involving heavy dynamic loads and potential chemical exposure.
