AT130 is a high-performance epoxy grout engineered by Alphatec Engineering for demanding industrial environments where elevated temperatures, chemical exposure, and mechanical loads are critical factors.
01
Engineered for extreme conditions
AT130 was developed to address the limitations of traditional grouts in high-temperature settings. This formulation offers:
-
Thermal resistance exceeding 150°C
-
Resistance to chemically aggressive environments
-
Excellent mechanical properties, including high compressive strength and strong adhesion
-
Consistent pumpability, supporting efficient and controlled installation
These features make AT130 ideal for use beneath heavy rotating equipment, compressors, turbines, and other machinery operating under thermal and mechanical stress.
02
Development approach
The formulation of AT130 was the result of a targeted R&D process that combined:
-
Careful selection of epoxy resins and hardeners suitable for thermal endurance
-
The use of silica sand aggregates to enhance strength and thermal conductivity
-
Extensive lab testing to optimise polymer ratios, workability, and performance
-
Pumpability trials using industry-grade equipment to ensure field reliability
03
The Results
The most effective formulation achieved compressive strength values above 80 MPa and demonstrated excellent flow characteristics.
Unlike conventional cementitious grouts, AT130 retains its performance in high-heat and chemically aggressive conditions, without compromising installation efficiency.

FAQs
What does “3K” refer to in epoxy grout systems?
It denotes a three-component system: resin, hardener, and aggregate—mixed to create a high-performance structural grout.
How does AT130 compare with cement-based grout?
Cementitious grouts typically reach compressive strengths of 20–50 MPa. AT130 exceeds 80 MPa, offering improved strength, thermal stability, and durability in aggressive environments.
Why is pumpability important?
Pumpable grouts allow for faster, more accurate placement, ensuring full contact beneath machinery bases—critical for alignment and vibration control.
