MM1018 Liquid Shim vs
Epoxy Grout
A structural engineer's comparison
Two two-component systems, two different design cases — see which one is the correct specification for your interface.
Technical comparison
Which one is right for your project?
Epoxy grout and MM1018 Liquid Shim are both two-component polymer systems, and both outperform standard cementitious grout on chemical resistance and cure speed. The distinction between them comes down to the specific engineering credential each has been tested and certified against.
MM1018 The Liquid-Shim® holds a published, third-party fatigue certification — 10 million load cycles tested by ibac at RWTH Aachen University — plus German general building authority approval (abZ Z-3.82-2042). Kubri Engineered Solutions can map MM1018 against the specific epoxy grout product you’re currently specifying.
Frequently asked questions
In many structural gap-fill applications, yes — MM1018 is specified in place of epoxy grout where fatigue certification, full-surface contact, or fast cure-to-load time are governing requirements. Send us your project details and a KES engineer will confirm fit.
