Sikadur-42+ Epoxy Grout – LE Warm Climate & HE Cold Climate


Protrade Warehouse supplies Sika construction products for trade, industrial and commercial applications. Sikadur-42+ is a high-performance, three-component epoxy grout designed for precision grouting, anchoring, machinery installation and concrete repair. Its moisture-tolerant formulation, high mechanical strength and resistance to creep and vibration make it suitable for demanding structural and industrial applications.

Choose between Sikadur-42+ LE Warm Climate for higher-temperature applications and larger grout thicknesses, or Sikadur-42+ HE Cold Climate for lower-temperature applications and rapid early strength development.

Product Highlights

  • High-performance, three-component epoxy grout with excellent mechanical properties.
  • Two formulations available for different application temperatures and grout thicknesses.
  • Low shrinkage, low thermal expansion and good resistance to creep and vibration.
  • Suitable for machinery base plates, anchor bolts, bridge bearings and demanding concrete grouting applications.

Choose Your Climate Type

  • Sikadur-42+ LE – Warm Climate: Designed for application temperatures from +15°C to +40°C, with a permitted layer thickness of 25–300 mm and a longer working time.
  • Sikadur-42+ HE – Cold Climate: Designed for application temperatures from +5°C to +30°C, with a permitted layer thickness of 10–150 mm and high early strength development.

Applications

Sikadur-42+ is designed for high-strength grouting, anchoring, precision bedding and suitable concrete repair applications, including:

  • Machine bases and base plates for pumps, compressors, presses and heavy machinery.
  • Starter bars, anchor bolts, tie rods, fasteners and crash barrier posts.
  • Bridge bearings and structural support applications.
  • Spalled concrete structures, industrial floor slabs and suitable concrete repairs.
  • Filling suitable holes and voids, runways, hardstandings and car park decks.
  • Interior and exterior applications where the selected product is suitable for the specified conditions.

Important: Sika identifies the spalled concrete repair use as not compliant with EN 1504-3. Confirm the required repair standard and suitability for the project before specifying the product.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Good flowability for precision grouting.
  • Moisture-tolerant formulation.
  • Good mechanical resistance and compressive strength.
  • Low thermal expansion and resistance to creep and vibration.
  • Impermeable to most liquids and water vapour.
  • Pumpable for suitable applications.
  • LE features a low exothermic reaction and long open time for larger applications.
  • HE is designed for lower-temperature applications and faster early strength development.

Mixing and Application Information

Sikadur-42+ is supplied in pre-batched components. Correct mixing and placement are essential to achieve the specified performance.

  • Mix the full pre-batched units according to the relevant Product Data Sheet.
  • Do not mix Parts A and B without adding Part C as instructed, as the reaction can generate excessive heat.
  • Do not thin the product with solvents.
  • Prepare substrates thoroughly and remove dust, loose material, oil, grease, rust and other contaminants.
  • For cementitious substrates, follow the specified moisture limits and check for rising moisture.
  • Use suitable formwork and follow the manufacturer's placement and curing requirements.

For complete mixing instructions, substrate requirements, application procedures and safety information, consult the latest Sika Australia Product Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet for the selected variant.

What is the difference between Sikadur-42+ LE and HE?

Sikadur-42+ LE (Warm Climate) is suitable for application temperatures between +15°C and +40°C, with a layer thickness of 25–300 mm. Sikadur-42+ HE (Cold Climate) is suitable for +5°C to +30°C, with a layer thickness of 10–150 mm, and is designed for faster early strength development in colder conditions.

What is Sikadur-42+ used for?

Sikadur-42+ is a high-performance epoxy grout used for machinery bases, base plates, anchor bolts, starter bars, bridge bearings and suitable concrete repair applications.

What pack sizes are available?

Sikadur-42+ LE is available in 5 kg and 20 kg kits, while Sikadur-42+ HE is available in 5.1 kg and 20.4 kg kits. Contact Protrade Warehouse to confirm current stock availability.

Can Sikadur-42+ be used outdoors?

Yes, it can be used for suitable interior and exterior applications. Suitability depends on the project conditions, substrate and intended use. Always check the relevant product data sheet before application.

How long does Sikadur-42+ take to cure?

Curing time and strength development depend on the selected variant and application temperature. Sikadur-42+ HE is designed to develop strength quickly at lower temperatures. Refer to the relevant Sika Australia Product Data Sheet for detailed curing information.

Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.

Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
