Five Star Five Star High Flow Pile Jacket

Five Star High Flow Pile Jacket Epoxy Grout LPL-HF is a high-performance, three-component epoxy grout designed for underwater pile repair and structural restoration in marine environments. This 100% solids, non-shrink system features a long pot life and excellent flow characteristics, making it well-suited for use with Five Star PileForm F Fiberglass Jackets. It encapsulates and restores deteriorated concrete, steel, and wood piles while eliminating voids and ensuring full coverage.

You can pump or pour it easily — even in vertical or overhead applications. LPL-HF delivers more than 11,000 psi in compressive strength and maintains strong bond integrity from 40°F to 100°F. Unlike many conventional marine grouts, it installs cleanly without segregation or air entrainment, even in tidal conditions.

In addition, the formulation excludes Nonylphenol, reducing environmental impact without compromising structural performance. It provides long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and restored load-bearing capacity for piers, jetties, bridge supports, and bulkheads — making it a reliable solution in demanding underwater settings.

Key Features of Five Star High Flow Pile Jacket

• High Flow & Pumpable
  Easily placed using gravity or low-pressure pumps, making it ideal for vertical pile encapsulation.
• Wide Temperature Range
  Installs reliably between 40°F and 100°F (4°C–38°C) without segregation or air entrapment.
• Strong Early & Long-Term Strength
  Reaches up to 11,500 psi compressive strength at 28 days. Delivers over 3,500 psi in just one day at 70°F.
• Corrosion Protection & Structural Bonding
  Bonds securely to concrete, steel, wood, and masonry to restore and reinforce deteriorated piles.
• Environmentally Safer Formulation
  Contains no Nonylphenol, a regulated marine toxin, and requires no special storage handling.
• Extended Working Time
  Offers 60 to over 240 minutes of working time depending on ambient temperature, allowing flexibility during placement.
