MEYCO MP301

Low viscosity highly reactive hydrophilic grouting resin

Product description

MEYCO MP301 is a two-component low

viscosity hydrophilic acrylic grouting resin with a
high reactivity. The product may be used down to
+3C and contains neither solvents nor toxic
components.
Components A and B are mixed at the volume
ratio A:B of 1:1, using a one component (using
mix with long gel time) or two-component dosing
pump. The gel time may be adjusted by varying
the quantity of accelerator added to Component A
and the concentration of Component B. Due to the
hydrophilic nature of the product, the adhesion is
also good to wet surfaces. There is no foam
reaction that could negatively influence the
substrate bond.

Fields of application
MEYCO MP301 has been developed specifically
for use in tunnelling and for other underground
and ground stabilisation works.
To avoid long term shrinkage of the gel, it is
important that MEYCO MP 301 remains in a
humid environment.
The product is designed for stabilisation of soil
and heavily broken rock. Due to the very low
viscosity and its low flow resistance, it is
particularly well suited for the filling of micro
cracks and capillary pores of soil.

Pre-injection in finely fissured and broken rock

Brittle failure risk reduction when excavating
Stabilisation of soils containing sand and silt
Stabilisation of broken rock
Permanent sealing of underground concrete
structures, such as tunnel linings and
diaphragm walls

Features and benefits

Very low viscosity to maximise penetration

Controlled gel time between 1 and 12 minutes
Adjustable strength of gel
Good bond to wet surfaces
Flexible gel to accommodate movement of
ground or structure (if remaining in humid
environment)
Workable between +3 and +40C
Environmentally friendly

Application procedure
Mixing
The accelerator is dissolved into the liquid
Component A so as to activate it prior to use. The
gel time is controlled by the quantity of accelerator
added.
Component B is prepared by dissolving the
hardener in potable water. The concentration of
the hardener has also an effect on the gel time.

Application
The activated Component A and the dissolved
Component B are injected in the required
proportion by means of a two-component injection
pump equipped with a static in-line mixing nozzle.
For long gel times, a single component may be
used.

Gel Time
The gel time of MEYCO MP301 depends also on
the temperature. Gel times in the field will,
therefore, normally vary from those achieved in
the laboratory.
Compensation by adjusted concentration of
accelerator and hardener should be executed
based on local site conditions.

It is essential to undertake site tests before

starting the injection work to verify setting times
for specific conditions encountered

Cleaning of equipment
Equipment can easily be cleaned using water
(preferably with a detergent).

Storage
In unopened, tightly closed original containers, the
components of MEYCO MP301 may be stored
for up to 12 months, if kept dry and within a
temperature range of +10 to +30C. Protect from
sunlight.

Safety and environmental precautions

Due to possible irritation, avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Wearing of protective goggles and
gloves is strictly recommended. If contact with
skin occurs, wash thoroughly using soaps and
water. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse
thoroughly with water for 15mins and seek
medical advice. The cured MEYCO MP301 is
physiologically harmless.
Uncured MEYCO MP301 components must not
be allowed to enter the local drainage system,
rivers, lakes and ground water. Spillage must be
treated with absorbent material (sand or sawdust)
and disposed in the same way as containers
containing residue of uncured material according
to local regulation.
