What is the difference between epoxy grout, cement grout and cement mortar?


   Epoxy grout consists of epoxy resin, epoxy hardener and sand/aggregates. In fact, there are
various types of resin used in construction industry like epoxy, polyester, polyurethane etc.
Though epoxy grout appears to imply the presence of cement material by its name, it does
not contain any cement at all. On the other hand, epoxy hardener serves to initiate the
hardening process of epoxy grout. It is commonly used for repairing hairline cracks and
cavities in concrete structures and can be adopted as primer or bonding agent.
Cement grout is formed by mixing cement powder with water in which the ratio of cement
of water is more or less similar to that of concrete. Setting and hardening are the important
processes which affect the performance of cement grout. Moreover, the presence of
excessive voids would also affect the strength, stiffness and permeability of grout. It is
versatile in application of filling voids and gaps in structures.
Cement mortar is normally a mixture of cement, water and sand. They are used as bedding
for concrete kerbs in roadwork.
