Low-Temperature Grouting
Cold Weather. No Problem.
Low-Temperature Grouting (0–10°C) Solutions
When ambient temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), most grouts fail to cure properly—leaving behind soft, cracked, or unstable foundations.
ZDSpoxy delivers engineered epoxy grouts that thrive in cold conditions, ensuring strong bonding and reliable curing even near freezing.
Built for outdoor plants, refrigerated zones, early morning pours, and cold climates, our systems keep your schedule on track—no need to wait for warmer weather.

Common Low-Temp Grouting Issues
| Problem | Typical Result | ZDSpoxy Solution |
| Delayed or failed curing | Weak or chalky grout | Cold-cure epoxy chemistry (0–10°C) |
| Increased viscosity | Can’t flow into gaps or under machinery | Low-viscosity formula, easy self-leveling |
| High exotherm in cold mix | Thermal shock, cracking | Controlled heat release, stable strength |
| Moisture condensation | Adhesion failure, surface defects | Tolerant to slight dampness |
Recommended Models
| Model | Working Temp | Key Benefit | Example Use |
| ZDS3315AB | 0–10°C | Fast cure, low-viscosity, non-shrink | Wind turbine base, winter plant upgrades |
| ZDS1410AB | ≥8°C | High-strength general purpose grout | Morning grouting for outdoor compressors |
Ideal Scenarios
- Outdoor installations during cold months
- Refrigerated storage equipment base
- Morning foundation work in winter
- Mountain, Nordic, or high-latitude regions
- Wind turbine base grouting at altitude
- HVAC installs near chillers
- Marine or offshore worksites
Cold-Weather Grouting Tips
- Store kits at room temperature (20–25°C) before mixing
- Warm components briefly in insulated boxes if stored outside
- Use heated water baths for buckets (optional)
- Always pre-test surface temperature
- Use ZDS2870AB primer for damp/cold concrete
Case Example: Wind Turbine Grouting in Mongolia
In early spring (avg. 3°C), a power developer installed a wind farm in remote northern Mongolia.
ZDSpoxy ZDS3315AB was used for grouting the steel tower bases directly into cast concrete foundations.
Despite freezing mornings:
- Grout flowed easily into 2–3cm gaps
- Cured hard within 18h
- Final compressive strength: 82 MPa
- No cracks, air voids, or shifting over 2-year cycle
FAQs
What’s the lowest curing temperature?
ZDS3315AB reliably cures at 0°C (32°F), no external heating required.
Can I use these grouts in snow-prone or frosty environments?
Yes. Just ensure no active frost or ice on substrate. Slight dampness is acceptable.
Does curing time increase in cold weather?
Our cold-cure formulas have accelerated components—standard set times even at 5°C.
Don’t Let the Cold Slow You Down
With ZDSpoxy’s low-temp grouting systems, you can keep your projects on track—whether you’re working in the mountains, on offshore platforms, or in winter-critical zones.
