Five Star HP Epoxy Grout – Standard

Five Star HP Epoxy Grout – Standard is a high-performance, 100% solids, three-component epoxy system built for deep placements and precise machinery alignment. It supports the structural demands of high-load, high-temperature, and dynamic equipment conditions with a non-shrink, expansive formulation that delivers early strength and long-term durability.

This version performs best in thicker grout beds, accommodating plate clearances up to 4 inches and pour depths up to 6 inches. Within just 16 hours, it reaches compressive strengths up to 11,000 psi and continues to gain strength as it cures. In addition, it maintains dimensional stability and resists creep even at elevated service temperatures.

With a typical effective bearing area of 95%, it ensures consistent load transfer between equipment and foundation. Contractors rely on this formulation for grouting compressors, turbines, crane rails, and structural supports — applications where alignment, load stability, and reliability matter most.

Key Features of Five Star HP Epoxy Grout

• Built for Deep Grout Beds
  Handles placements from 4 to 6 inches deep with a minimum 4-inch baseplate clearance, making it well-suited for heavy equipment foundations.

• Fast Strength Development
  Delivers 11,000 psi compressive strength in just 16 hours, and climbs to 17,500 psi after post-curing — ideal for fast-track installations.

• Non-Shrink, Positive Expansion
  Shows controlled volume growth per ASTM C827, helping maintain tight alignment tolerances under dynamic loads.

• Superior Creep Resistance
  Holds its shape under sustained high loads and temperatures, providing long-term dimensional stability.

• Excellent Bond to Substrates
  Passes ASTM C882 with concrete failure, proving strong adhesion to both concrete and steel surfaces.

• Resistant to Harsh Conditions
  Formulated without solvents and built to resist chemical attack, it performs reliably in aggressive environments.

Recommended Uses for Five Star HP Epoxy Grout

The Standard version of Five Star HP Epoxy Grout is designed for deeper placements and large-volume pours where mechanical loads are high and service temperatures are elevated. It performs best in demanding environments that require structural stability and fast return to service.

Ideal for:

• Baseplate installations with 4–6 inch depths
• Turbines, compressors, and power generation equipment
• Heavy-duty rotating machinery under dynamic load
• Wind turbine foundations and chemical processing systems
• Grouting structural steel, anchor bolts, and embedments
• Crane rail tracks and high-load industrial supports

Use this product when:

• You have at least 4 inches of clearance below the baseplate
• Your pour depth exceeds what standard epoxy grouts can handle
• Quick early strength is critical to minimize downtime
• Your installation faces elevated temperatures or chemical exposure
• High effective bearing area is essential for long-term performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the minimum baseplate clearance required for the Standard version of Five Star HP Epoxy Grout?
You need a minimum clearance of 4 inches. This allows for proper flow and use of a headbox to achieve full coverage.

Can I use it for placements deeper than 6 inches?
Yes. However, for pours over 6 inches, consult technical support to determine the best placement method and cure protocol.

How soon can I put equipment into service after placing HP Epoxy Grout?
In most cases, machinery can be started within 16 hours of grout placement, provided the material has cured under standard conditions.

What environments is Five Star HP Epoxy Grout built for?
It works well in high-load, high-temperature, and chemically aggressive settings — including power generation, heavy manufacturing, and marine infrastructure.

How does the Standard version differ from the High Flow version of HP Epoxy Grout?
The Standard formulation suits thicker placements and requires more clearance. It also delivers slightly higher ultimate compressive strength and stiffness.

What surface preparation is needed before grouting with HP Epoxy Grout?
You must clean and dry all contact surfaces. Mechanically prepare concrete to expose aggregate, and treat steel to remove contaminants. This ensures a strong bond.
