SikaFlow 678 is a low-exotherm, three-component epoxy grout for use where deep sections of epoxy grout must be placed with low heat generation.
SikaFlow 678 is a high-performance, three-component epoxy grout engineered for deep-pour industrial applications where low heat generation and high structural performance are critical. This low-exotherm epoxy system allows for deep section pours—up to 18 inches in a single lift—without compromising strength or risking thermal cracking. With superior compressive strength up to 14,000 psi, long working time, and excellent bond to both steel and concrete, SikaFlow 678 is ideal for grouting baseplates, anchors, and heavy equipment foundations. The low-dusting formulation improves jobsite safety and workability while delivering long-term creep resistance even at elevated temperatures.
