Vetogrout EG340
Waterproof dynamic load bearing
epoxy grout

Uses
u Grouting & anchoring bridge bearings and pile
caps.
u Industrial applications where chemical
resistance and rapid strength development are
required.
u Under-plate grouting & heavy machine beds.
u Dynamic and cyclic load situations grouting.
u Demanding grout thicknesses up to 200mm.
Product Description
Vetogrout EG340 is a multi-component grout composed of epoxy resin, hardener, and selected aggregates. It is
supplied as a pre-weighed pack ready to use on-site that required only mixing to produce a free flow precision grout.
Vetogrout EG340 is specially formulated for use where heavy dynamic loads exist, high physical and mechanical
properties are required with excellent chemical resistance. Typical uses include rail grouting, crane rails, pile cap
treatment, bridge bearings, fixing rock bolts and anchors, cavity filling, and high-speed turbine base grouting.

Advantages Technical Data

u Free flow characteristics even in thin layers.
Vetogrout EG340 Typical Values
u Non-Shrink with high adhesion.
