EPOCAST 36® is a two-component pourable chocking compound enriched with high-grade fillers. Modern manufacturing methods, filling and testing systems guarantee constant compliance with the physical and chemical properties required for EPOCAST 36® by Classification Societies and other institutions.

EPOCAST 36® is suitable for use as an equivalent to steel liners when mounting main and auxiliary engines, gear boxes, steering gears, thrust bearings, stern tubes and rudder bushes. EPOCAST 36® resin chocks, unlike the conventional method, are easy to use and therefore offer a most cost-effective alternative.

EPOCAST 36® offers the following advantages: Simple use No machining of the foundation Compensates any distortions of the foundations Can form large thick chocks up to 100 mm in one homogeneous pour depending on the temparature High compressive and impact strenght Seawater and chemical resistant Reduces noise and vibrations Viscosity can be adjusted according to ambient temparatures Weight saving Prevents crevice corrosion Relatively uniform loading over the chock surface

Design features EPOCAST 36® chocks offer a practicable solution wherever the following design features* have to be catered for: Total deadweight loading from weight of installation =< 0,7 n/mm Total static loading from weight of installation plus holding-down bolt tension =< 5,0 n/mm Chock thickness must be less than width of chock * Except in special applications

EPOCAST 36® Type approvals EPOCAST 36® is approved by all major Classification Societies up to a maximum total load on the chocks of 5 N/mm² at a service temparature of 80°C. For special shipbuild applications EPOCAST 36® has withstood a shock test of 75g with a total load of 3,5 N/mm².
