Division 02 — Construction / Special Epoxy Systems
Special Epoxy Systems
Special epoxy systems are multi-component, chemically cured materials used in construction for chemical-resistant floor mortars and coatings, precision machine base grouting, crack injection, and long-term protection of steel and concrete in aggressive or immersed conditions — applications where the chemical resistance and mechanical properties of cured epoxy exceed what cementitious materials can deliver.
CFC Egypt's special epoxy range — manufactured at our Sadat City plant — spans the full scope of construction epoxy chemistry. The EGYPOX HC grades cover the HC55 novolak protective coating that cures underwater and at low temperature, and the HC57 and HC60 chemical-resistant, non-slip epoxy floor mortars for industrial floors. EGYGROUT EP epoxy grouts (EP, EP40, EP75) cover precision machine base grouting, while EGYGROUT EP10 is a solvent-free epoxy injection resin for cracks. EGYPOX 3D, EPN, and VR supply high-build epoxy coating and mortar systems for chemically demanding floor and tank lining applications. EGYPOX T2 protects steel structures such as bridges, and EGYPOX FLX gives long-term protection of steel and concrete submerged in fresh water, seawater, or wastewater.
01
What It Covers
Special epoxy systems span five distinct application groups, each exploiting different properties of cured epoxy — from the low viscosity required for crack injection to the filled mortar consistency needed for chemical-resistant floors and load-bearing grout applications.
01
Crack Injection
EGYGROUT EP10 is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy injection resin pressure-injected into cracks in concrete and masonry — typically around 0.1 to 1.0 cm wide — to restore continuity across the crack plane. It displaces air and moisture and cures to a rigid mass, helping to re-establish monolithic behaviour. Used for cracks in columns, beams, slabs, and walls where the crack has compromised structural capacity or watertightness.
02
Chemical-Resistant Floor Mortars & Coatings
EGYPOX HC57 and HC60 are three-component, solvent-free epoxy floor mortars that lay down a chemical-resistant, non-slip screed for industrial floors and bunds exposed to aggressive chemicals; HC60 additionally offers high impact and abrasion resistance. EGYPOX HC55 is a two-component novolak epoxy protective coating designed to cure underwater and at very low temperatures down to around -10°C. Used for chemical-resistant flooring and for protective coating in wet, cold, or chemically demanding conditions.
03
Epoxy Precision Grouts
The EGYGROUT EP series covers precision machine base grouting and structural load-bearing applications. EGYGROUT EP is a three-component, high-strength pourable epoxy grout, while EP40 and EP75 are solvent-free epoxy grouts for grouting gap widths of roughly 10–40 mm and 25–75 mm respectively. EGYGROUT EP10 is a related two-component, solvent-free epoxy injection resin for filling cracks roughly 0.1–1.0 cm wide. Used for turbine and pump bases, column base plates, bridge bearings, and crack repair.
04
Epoxy Coatings & Linings
EGYPOX 3D and EGYPOX VR are solvent-free epoxy coating systems for concrete floors, tank linings, and secondary containment areas requiring chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and fuels. EGYPOX 3D provides a thick, self-levelling floor coating; EGYPOX VR (vinyl ester reinforced) is used for severe chemical exposure in tanks holding aggressive media. These systems are applied over prepared, primed concrete and cure to a smooth, impermeable surface that is cleanable, hygienic, and resistant to the chemical environment of the application.
05
Flexible & Repair Epoxies
EGYPOX FLX is a high-solids modified polyurethane-epoxy coating for long-term protection of steel and concrete submerged in fresh water, seawater, or wastewater. EGYPOX EPN is an epoxy-novolak system for high chemical resistance in process plant environments. EGYPOX T2 is a flexible, two-component coal-tar epoxy coating for the long-term protection of steel structures such as bridges.
02
Where They're Used
Special epoxy systems are specified wherever the performance demands of the application exceed what Portland cement-based materials can achieve. The following represent the most critical applications in the regional construction and infrastructure market.
Structural Concrete Repair
Cracks, voids, and delamination in structural concrete members — columns, beams, bridges, and retaining walls — require repair materials that restore structural integrity, not merely cosmetic appearance. EGYGROUT EP10 epoxy injection resin restores continuity across a cracked section, while EGYPOX HC57 and HC60 chemical-resistant epoxy floor mortars reinstate hard-wearing surfaces. These grades are used in repair and protection programmes on both new and existing reinforced concrete infrastructure.
Precision Machine Base Grouting
Industrial machinery — pumps, compressors, turbines, printing presses, and CNC machine tools — must be precisely aligned and rigidly supported to prevent vibration, maintain tolerances, and avoid bearing and coupling damage. EGYGROUT EP epoxy grout is poured under the machine base plate after alignment and cures to a rigid, non-shrink mass that locks the machine in its correct position. Unlike cementitious grouts, epoxy grouts resist oil, fuel, and coolant penetration that would cause a cementitious grout to weaken and crumble under dynamic loading.
Chemical-Resistant Flooring
Food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, battery production, chemical storage facilities, and laboratories require floor finishes that resist the specific chemicals present in the process environment while maintaining hygiene, cleanability, and slip resistance. EGYPOX epoxy floor systems provide chemical resistance profiles across a wide range of acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. The correct system — thin-coat sealer, self-levelling coating, broadcast aggregate finish, or heavy-duty mortar — is selected based on the chemical exposure, mechanical loading, and hygiene requirements.
Tank & Secondary Containment Lining
Concrete tanks, bunds, and secondary containment areas storing chemicals, fuels, or wastewater require impermeable linings that resist the stored medium over the design service life. EGYPOX coating systems provide a seamless, chemically resistant lining applied in multiple coats to achieve the required dry film thickness. For aggressive media — high-concentration acids, solvents, or elevated temperature services — EGYPOX EPN epoxy-novolac or EGYPOX VR vinyl-ester reinforced systems provide the necessary chemical resistance beyond standard epoxy chemistry.
Steel & Immersion Protection
Steel structures and concrete exposed to water and aggressive media require coatings that resist corrosion and chemical attack over the long term. EGYPOX T2 is a flexible coal-tar epoxy coating for steel structures such as bridges, while EGYPOX FLX is a high-solids modified polyurethane-epoxy for steel and concrete submerged in fresh water, seawater, or wastewater. EGYPOX EPN and VR novolak systems extend chemical resistance for tanks and process environments holding aggressive media.
