Has anyone ever used Rockite anchoring cement?

Im going to be setting 1 inch square solid steel posts into cement slabs for a hand railing, and I will be core drilling 2" holes to set them in. I was trying to decide between some construction epoxy or grout and then I saw this stuff..Rockite. Anyone ever have any experience with that?

Rockite Fast Setting Cement Expands as it sets, never comes loose, never shrinks. Mixes with water only, sets stronger than concrete in 1 hour. Good for all interior and exterior (if painted or waterproofed) jobs. Use to anchor bolts, screws, railing, glass railing etc. Use for patching concrete...

I have used it. The only issue I had was using it outside. When it got wet, then frozen, it spalled worse than the concrete it was used on.

I would go with the epoxy, concrete and steel really don't work together well. Epoxy will prevent the steel from rusting over time. Concrete wicks moisture and is acidic.
