Cementitious Grout

•  Follow proper mixing procedures.
•  Conduct thorough substrate preparation.
•  Use appropriate tools and equipment.
•  Pay attention to temperature and curing conditions.
•  Ensure proper placement and consolidation.
•  Monitor curing time and follow curing procedures.
•  Regularly inspect and maintain grouted areas.
•  Consider compatibility with specific applications.
•  Stay updated on industry best practices and advancements.
•  Seek professional expertise when needed.

In this section, we provide grouting instructions for contractors:

• Minimum execution thickness: 25 mm.
•  Maximum execution thickness: 100 mm.

For the gravity grouting method:

•  Recommended minimum thickness: 25 mm for a flow length of 300 mm.
•  For every additional 300 mm of flow length, increase the thickness by approximately 13 mm, up to a maximum of 100 mm.

Note: Grouting is not recommended when the temperature is below 5°C.

Additional grouting instructions for contractors:

•  Before grouting, ensure the substrate is clean, free from debris, and properly prepared to promote adhesion.
•  Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mixing ratios, water content, and mixing time to achieve the desired grout consistency.
•  Use appropriate grouting equipment, such as grout pumps or dispensing tools, to ensure consistent and uniform application.
•  During grouting, monitor the flow and fill the voids to ensure effective consolidation and support.
•  Allow sufficient curing time as the manufacturer recommends before subjecting the grouted area to any load or stress.
•  Inspect the grouted areas for any signs of cracking, settling, or deterioration. Promptly address any maintenance or repair needs to maintain the integrity of the grout.
•  Follow safety precautions while handling and working with grouting materials, including protective gear and proper ventilation in enclosed spaces.
•  Stay informed about the latest advancements, best practices, and industry standards related to grouting techniques. Continuously improve your knowledge and skills to optimize grouting processes.

Substrate Preparation:

•  Clean the concrete surface by removing dust, oil, and damaged parts.
•  Chemicals can be used for cleaning the concrete surface if necessary.

Mixing:

• Mix the cement-based grout powder with the appropriate amount of water to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
•  Avoid adding excessive water, as it can reduce the compressive strength of the grout.

Grouting:

•  Pour the mixed grout continuously from one side to eliminate air entrapment.
•  Ensure a continuous grouting process.
•  Sufficient grout should be prepared before starting the application.
•  Take note of the pot life of the grout product during the grouting process.

Curing of Cementitious Grout:

•  Maintain moisture in the cement-based grout for proper curing.
•  Apply special curing agents or cover the grout with a wet sack after pouring.
•  The curing process should continue for up to three days, depending on weather conditions.
•  Once the grout reaches a favorable compressive strength, it can be loaded accordingly.

•  Avoid skin or eye contact with the cement-based grout.
•  If skin contact occurs, wash the affected area with soap and water.
•  If the grout comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes.
  Product Usage:
•  Before using the cement-based grout, carefully read and understand all the precautions, specifications, and features provided on the product label or documentation.
