ALPHATEC® 800 High-Performance Epoxy Grout
High performance, aggregate-filled epoxy grout with superior mechanical and chemical properties.
ALPHATEC® 800 is a high performance, aggregate-filled epoxy grout with superior mechanical and chemical properties. This grout material has been specifically formulated to support heavy machinery on concrete foundations, and when used correctly, will ensure the transfer of static and dynamic loads into the inertia block. It has a maximum working temperature limitation (measured at the contact surface) of 70º C for high accuracy alignment, and 100ºC for general use. It has a maximum working temperature limitation (measured at the contact surface) of 70ºC for high accuracy alignment, and 100ºC for general use.
ALPHATEC® 800 is available in two versions, Standard and Winter grades. The winter grade formulation allows for 24 hour cure times even at temperatures between 0ºC and 10ºC. ALPHATEC® 800 uses the 001 aggregate, which is pigmented green, and meets the UNE-EN 1504-6 requirements.

Packaging and Safety
Packing and Safety ALPHATEC® 800 is packed in a set yielding 50 litres. The components are pre-measured, and should normally be mixed as a unit. Aggregate volume can be adjusted to some extent to obtain optimum flowability at the job site, depending on ambient temperatures, and the depth of grout to be poured.
All ALPHATEC products are intended for industrial use, and should be used only by experienced personnel with proper equipment & training. Always use proper protective clothing, including gloves, face masks or shields, and wash any exposed skin thoroughly after using the product.
See Safety Data Sheets for more information.
Mixing and Handling
Always use the full amount of hardener, and mix into the liquid portion for at least two minutes, using an air or electric powered resin mixer, with a non-aerating blade, such as the “Jiffy” blade.
Pour one bag of aggregate into the mixer first, to seal the trapdoor, and then add the mixed resin. Add the remaining four bags of aggregate slowly and steadily, and continue mixing only until all the aggregate particles are coated with resin. Do not overmix. In general use the full amount of aggregate per set, unless low temperature conditions demand a slight reduction in the first mix, or slightly more in high temperatures.
