Five Star XP-230 Epoxy Grout stands as the ultimate high-performance grouting solution that engineers specifically design for the most demanding industrial environments. Furthermore, this ultra-durable epoxy grout delivers the highest compressive strength in the entire Five Star product lineup, making it the preferred choice for critical structural applications.
Moreover, XP-230 provides exceptional structural support beneath heavy rotating equipment, baseplates, and dynamic machinery that experiences continuous vibration and heavy loading. Additionally, this three-component, 100% solids system offers non-shrink properties while remaining completely solvent-free, thus ensuring superior performance in challenging conditions.
Advanced Low Exotherm Technology for Deep Pours
Notably, XP-230 features an innovative low exotherm profile that enables deep pours up to 18 inches without compromising performance quality. Consequently, contractors can complete large grouting projects more efficiently while maintaining structural integrity throughout the entire pour depth.
Rapid Strength Development for Faster Project Turnaround
Industrial facilities benefit significantly from XP-230’s rapid early strength development capabilities, especially during tight shutdown schedules and high-load precision placements. In fact, this advanced epoxy grout develops structural strength even in cooler temperatures, allowing maintenance crews to return critical assets to service faster than traditional grouting materials.
Additionally, XP-230’s dimensional stability and superior bond characteristics work together with mechanical properties that closely align with both steel and concrete. Therefore, facility managers can expect long-term performance and complete confidence in their most critical operations.
Proven Performance Across Multiple Industrial Sectors
Power plants, petrochemical facilities, wind farms, and other heavy industrial environments consistently rely on XP-230 for its exceptional durability. Subsequently, this premium epoxy grout withstands thermal cycling, heavy vibration, and aggressive service conditions while delivering consistent, dependable results year after year.

Key Performance Features of XP-230 Epoxy Grout
Ultra-High Compressive Strength for Maximum Load Support
XP-230 achieves an impressive 19,000 psi compressive strength at just 1 day, then increases to an outstanding 27,000 psi post-cure. Consequently, this exceptional strength capacity supports even the most demanding high-load, high-stress installations with complete confidence.
Fast Strength Gain Reduces Equipment Downtime
This advanced epoxy grout reaches full structural strength in as little as 12 hours (achieving up to 19,000 psi at 90°F). Therefore, maintenance teams can complete rapid turnaround projects while significantly reducing costly equipment downtime.
Deep Pour Capability Streamlines Large Projects
Contractors can place XP-230 in pours up to 18 inches deep in a single lift, thanks to its innovative low exotherm formula that effectively reduces thermal buildup. As a result, large grouting projects become more efficient and cost-effective.
Superior Dimensional Stability Ensures Long-Term Performance
XP-230 maintains non-shrink properties per ASTM C1090 standards while preserving critical contact under load without creep or settlement. Furthermore, this dimensional stability guarantees reliable performance throughout the equipment’s operational lifetime.
Steel-Compatible Thermal Expansion Prevents Bond Failure
The coefficient of thermal expansion and modulus of elasticity closely match both steel and concrete properties. Consequently, this compatibility helps prevent bond failure while ensuring structural integrity across temperature variations.
User-Friendly Application with Extended Working Time
XP-230 provides a generous 45-minute working time at 70°F while producing minimal airborne dust during mixing. Therefore, application crews can work more efficiently while maintaining clean and controlled placement conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About XP-230 Epoxy Grout
What maximum depth can contractors pour Five Star XP-230 without modifications?
Contractors can pour XP-230 up to 18 inches deep in a single lift without any modifications. However, for greater depths, we recommend contacting our technical sales representatives for specific application guidance.
How much working time do applicators have with XP-230 after mixing?
At 70°F, XP-230 provides approximately 45 minutes of working time after mixing. Nevertheless, warmer temperatures will reduce this working time, while colder temperatures may extend it accordingly.
How quickly can equipment return to service after XP-230 grouting?
Equipment can safely return to service once the grout reaches the required strength and modulus specifications. Typically, this occurs within 12 to 24 hours, depending on ambient temperature conditions and specific application requirements.
Can contractors use XP-230 in extreme weather conditions?
Yes, XP-230 performs exceptionally well across a broad temperature range. However, for specific hot or cold weather grouting guidelines, we recommend contacting our technical sales representatives for detailed application protocols.
Does XP-230 provide reliable compatibility with steel surfaces?
Absolutely. XP-230 delivers excellent bond strength to steel surfaces, particularly when contractors prepare the surface according to SSPC-SP6 commercial standards.
What surface preparation requirements apply before XP-230 installation?
All surfaces must remain completely dry, clean, and free from oil, grease, or other contaminants. Additionally, concrete surfaces should feature a ½-inch peak-to-valley profile, while metal surfaces require cleaning to a commercial finish standard.
