Aftek Epilox Binder 6L Kit
$281.50
Aftek Epilox Binder is a multi-purpose high-performance Epoxy Binder System. The two-part solvent-free epoxy resin binder can be used standalone as an epoxy primer for the subsequent application of repair products and epoxy grouts. Epilox binder can also be mixed with fillers and aggregate to produce epoxy mortars of various consistencies. It can be used on both vertical and horizontal surfaces and an epoxy paste or filler/grout. Essentially, the epilox binder is a “mix your own” epoxy grout to specification. The datasheet includes a range of mixed designs depending on application – complete with tensile, flextural and compressive strength indications.

FAQs
epoxy grout more difficult to apply than traditional grout?
Applying epoxy grout presents unique challenges. Its distinctive consistency and faster curing time demand precise mixing and prompt application. The process, though demanding, can be managed effectively with the right tools and preparation. For those uncertain about the process, hiring a professional installer may be beneficial.
Is epoxy grout worth the money?
The upfront cost is higher. Yet epoxy grout proves itself a worthwhile investment due to its superior durability, low maintenance requirements, concrete waterproofing, and extended lifespan. These significant benefits lead to long-term savings. By reducing the need for repairs or replacements, epoxy tile grout emerges as a sound choice for both residential and commercial projects.
Does epoxy grout discolour over time?
Epoxy grout is highly resistant to discolouration thanks to its non-porous composition, which prevents stains and dirt from penetrating. Many epoxy grouts also contain UV-resistant properties, protecting against fading in sunlight. With proper installation and regular cleaning, epoxy grout maintains its original colour for years.
What is the lifespan of epoxy grout?
With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy grout can last 15 to 20 years or more. Its durability, resistance to cracking, staining, and discolouration all contribute to its exceptional long-term performance, making it a cost-effective choice over time.
Is epoxy grout waterproof?
Absolutely. Epoxy grout is 100% waterproof. Its impermeable nature is a barrier. It prevents water from penetrating the grout lines. This protects the substrate. It reduces the risk of mould and mildew growth.
Is epoxy grout better than regular grout?
Yes. Epoxy grout outperforms regular cement grout with superior durability, chemical resistance, and waterproofing. While costs are higher upfront, its reduced maintenance and longer lifespan make it a smart investment.
What are the advantages of epoxy grout over cement grout?
Epoxy grout offers several advantages over traditional cement grout:
- Durability:There is negligible shrinkage
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to chemicals and stains, making it ideal for industrial settings or areas exposed to harsh substances.
- Waterproofing: Check product labels to determine water resistance qualities.
- Low Maintenance: Requires less upkeep due to its stain-resistant and non-porous nature.
Why is good quality epoxy grout important?
High-quality epoxy grout significantly boosts the durability and lifespan of tiled surfaces. Its robust chemical resistance acts as a shield. This remarkable material protects against harsh substances, while its superior bonding keeps tiles securely in place, dramatically reducing the likelihood of cracks or dislodgement. Epoxy grout stands firm. It withstands heavy traffic and mechanical stress without faltering, making it ideal for high-use areas. With exceptional stain resistance and low-maintenance requirements, it saves time and reduces repair costs. In short, epoxy grout is a valuable, long-term investment for any tiling project.
