SikaFlow 649 grout is a high-performance epoxy grout used for the support of heavy equipment. It ensures the proper transmission of static and dynamic loads to the equipment foundation.
SikaFlow 649 is a precision, three-component epoxy grout engineered for the demanding needs of heavy equipment support and high-torque applications. It features high early and ultimate compressive strengths, excellent flow characteristics, and superior load-bearing capacity—making it ideal for use in grouting compressors, generators, turbines, pumps, and rotating machinery. SikaFlow 649 withstands elevated service temperatures and dynamic loads, making it suitable for crane rails, crusher ball mills, and wind turbine bases. Its ability to deliver consistent placement even in thin pours and extended distances ensures superior performance in critical baseplate applications.
