Vetogrout ER717 is a low viscosity epoxy resin-based grout for crack injection where the hardened grout’s chemical resistance and physical properties are of extreme importance (for example: extreme industrial applications, rail tracks, dynamic load situations, chemical tanks, etc.). Vetogrout ER717 consists of two components (Base and Hardener) that are provided in the right proportions. When mixed and applied, it penetrates deep into cracks and cavities, providing a permanent seal.
Pour the entire contents of the hardener container into the base container and mix for 2 - 3 minutes or until a uniform color is achieved. Once mixed, the material must be used within the specified pot life (see under Properties). After this time, unused material will have stiffened and should be discarded.
Note: All surfaces must be dried right before placement.
Ensure that the grout can be placed within its pot life.
Continuous grout flow is essential. Sufficient grout must be available before the start, and the time taken to pour a batch must be regulated to the time taken to prepare the next one. In the case of under-plate grouting, pouring should be from one side of the void to eliminate air entrapment.
The hydrostatic head must be maintained at all times so that a continuous grout front is achieved. In case of crack injection, consult your Saveto representative for a detailed method statement, onsite training, support, recommendation, or a specialty-approved applicator (if needed).
Use Vetonit Solvent XX400 to clean equipment before material begins to harden; otherwise, mechanical means will be necessary to remove hardened material.
