Five Star DP Epoxy Grout High Flow

Five Star DP Epoxy Grout High Flow is a precision-grade, three-component epoxy system engineered to provide permanent support for machinery requiring precision alignment in demanding industrial environments. This versatile, dual-purpose grout delivers exceptional performance in both thin applications as shallow as 1/2 inch and deeper placements up to 18 inches, making it ideal for equipment exposed to dynamic loads, vibration, and aggressive chemical conditions. With its expansive, non-shrink formulation and low exothermic properties, this high-strength system ensures dimensional stability and superior creep resistance while maintaining the highest effective bearing area of 95%.

This advanced grout system reaches 13,000 psi compressive strength in just 7 days and provides excellent early strength development, allowing for reduced downtime during critical maintenance operations. Its superior flow characteristics and 60-minute working time at 70°F enable complete filling of tight clearances and complex geometries without extensive surface preparation. The solvent-free formulation simplifies cleanup while delivering chemically resistant performance that withstands harsh industrial environments and maintains structural integrity under continuous dynamic loading.

Key Features of Five Star DP Epoxy Grout High Flow

Superior Flow Characteristics
Optimized flowability allows placement in clearances as thin as 1/2 inch with excellent wetting properties and complete base contact.

Expansive, Non-Shrink Formula
Exhibits positive expansion per ASTM C 827 testing, ensuring continuous contact with equipment bases and preventing settlement gaps.

Exceptional Creep Resistance
Demonstrates superior long-term performance with creep values of only 4.3 x 10⁻³ in/in (mm/mm) at 400 psi and 140°F after one year.

95% Effective Bearing Area
Provides maximum load distribution and contact when proper grouting procedures are followed, optimizing equipment support.

Low Exothermic Properties
Controlled heat generation during cure prevents thermal stress and cracking in mass placements.

Extended Working Time
60-minute working time at 70°F allows for careful placement and adjustment before initial set.

Chemical and Environmental Resistance
Withstands exposure to aggressive chemicals, oils, and harsh operating conditions while maintaining bond integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended clearance for Five Star DP Epoxy Grout High Flow?
It is designed for minimum plate clearances of 1/2 inch (13 mm) and placement depths from 1/2 inch to 18 inches. For applications requiring greater depth, contact Five Star Products for technical guidance.

How long before equipment can be operated?
Equipment operation may begin immediately after the grout achieves minimum required strength and a compressive modulus of 1.0 x 10⁶ psi (6.9 x 10³ MPa). Typical strength development allows for operation within 24-48 hours at 70°F.

What type of surface preparation is required?
Concrete surfaces should be prepared to achieve a minimum 1/4 inch peak-to-valley surface profile with coarse aggregate exposure. Steel surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, and bond-inhibiting materials.

How is it mixed and applied?
Mix Component B (hardener) thoroughly with Component A (resin) for 1-2 minutes, then combine with Component C (aggregate) in a mortar mixer until completely wetted. Place using a headbox from one side to maintain continuous baseplate contact.

What is the maximum in-service temperature?
The maximum continuous in-service temperature is 180°F (82°C) for both standard and high-flow formulations.

What’s the shelf life?
Two years in original unopened packaging when stored in dry conditions. High relative humidity will reduce shelf life.
