Expocrete EC
Two-Component Epoxy Concrete for Heavy-Duty Industrial Floor Repair
Authorized Project Distributor — Fosroc India | Space Arc Engineering, Ghaziabad
Product Overview
Expocrete EC is a two-component, aggregate-filled epoxy concrete mortar from Fosroc for heavy-duty repair and resurfacing of industrial concrete floors, loading dock approaches, vehicle ramps, factory floors, and any concrete surface subject to heavy wheeled or forklift traffic, impact, abrasion, and chemical spillage. The product consists of an epoxy resin and hardener (supplied in pre-weighed parts) combined with a graded aggregate filler. When the components are mixed together and the aggregate is incorporated, the resulting mortar has the workability of conventional concrete but cures to a rigid material with compressive strength exceeding 70 MPa and exceptional resistance to impact, abrasion, and chemical attack. The key advantage of Expocrete EC over cementitious repair mortars for heavy industrial floor repairs is the much higher abrasion resistance and chemical resistance of the cured epoxy matrix — properties that cementitious systems, even with polymer modification, cannot match. In areas subject to frequent forklift traffic with solid rubber tyres, diesel and hydraulic fluid spillage, acid and alkali cleaning chemicals, and heavy point loads from racking legs and pallet drops, cementitious repairs often fail by erosion of the matrix and aggregate pop-out within months. An Expocrete EC repair, properly installed on a sound substrate, can provide service lives of 5 to 10 years or more in the same conditions. The product is also used for new-construction skid-resistant ramp surfaces, loadout bay edge repairs, and joint arris restoration in heavily trafficked industrial facilities. Space Arc Engineering distributes Expocrete EC for industrial flooring repair and maintenance projects across Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, and Northern India.
Applications
- Heavy-duty repair of concrete floors in forklift and HGV trafficked warehouses and factories
- Loading dock and vehicle ramp concrete repair with high abrasion and impact resistance
- Chemical resistant floor repair in food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical plants
- Joint arris and edge repair in heavy industrial floor joints
- Skid-resistant ramp resurfacing with broadcast aggregate finish
- Repair of impact-damaged concrete near loading bay doors and machine plinths
Key Advantages
- Very high compressive strength (greater than 70 MPa) — much stronger than concrete
- Exceptional abrasion resistance for areas subject to solid rubber-tyred traffic
- Chemical resistance to oils, fuels, dilute acids, and alkalis
- Two-component epoxy — full cure achieved in 24–48 hours at 20 deg C
- Can be applied in thin sections (10 mm) where cementitious mortars would fail
- Returns heavy industrial areas to service faster than alternative repair systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum application thickness for Expocrete EC?
Expocrete EC can be applied in thicknesses from approximately 10 mm upwards, depending on the aggregate size in the specific grade. This thin application capability is a major advantage over cementitious concrete repair mortars, which require a minimum thickness of 10 to 20 mm to avoid cracking and delamination. In industrial floor repairs, the depth of spalling and delamination of the existing floor is often only 10 to 25 mm, so a cementitious mortar applied at this thickness would be at or below its minimum reliable application depth. Expocrete EC at 10 to 20 mm provides a structurally sound repair without requiring additional concrete removal to reach a minimum depth.
How should the concrete substrate be prepared before applying Expocrete EC?
The substrate preparation for Expocrete EC is critical to bond integrity and long-term performance. The concrete must be sound (no delamination, hollow areas, or weak zones), clean (free of oil, grease, dust, laitance, and curing compounds), and dry (or at most surface dry). Remove all weak, contaminated, or carbonated concrete by mechanical means (scabbling, grinding, or shot blasting). Oil-contaminated concrete in areas that have been exposed to long-term hydraulic or lubricating oil spillage can be particularly difficult to clean — aggressive degreasing followed by surface testing (contact angle test) may be needed to confirm the oil has been removed before the epoxy is applied. Shot blasting is the preferred preparation method as it simultaneously removes laitance, roughs the surface profile for mechanical key, and confirms the depth of sound concrete.
Can Expocrete EC be applied in areas where forklift traffic must continue during the repair?
Expocrete EC achieves sufficient hardness for light foot traffic within 8 to 12 hours at 20 degrees C and for forklift and vehicle traffic within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the temperature and the specific hardener grade used. This fast return to service is one of the key advantages of epoxy concrete mortar over cementitious repairs that require 3 to 7 days before heavy traffic loading. For emergency repairs in critical production areas, Expocrete EC can often be applied during a planned maintenance shutdown and be ready for production restart the next day. In cold conditions (below 10 degrees C), cure time is extended — a faster-cure hardener grade or temporary heating of the area may be needed to maintain productivity.
