ENGINEERING GROUTS

HIGH STRENGTH, THIXOTROPIC, POLYESTER GROUT

ANCHORGROUT is two components, thixotropic, polyester resin-based anchor grout. When mixed two components it gives high strength, fast setting and fast curing grout of thixotropic consistency. Designed for the anchoring of steel bars and bolts into concrete, machinery and brickwork where speed of installation and early load bearing capacity is required. The cured ANCHORGROUT is resistant to water, oils, petrol greases and mild acids and alkali solutions. ANCHORGROUT permits the production of anchors capable of high loadings.

SALIENT FEATURES
• Rapid strength gain
• Vibration resistant
• Corrosion resistant
• High early strength
• Extremely durable
• Weather resistant

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Preparation: Hole should be formed using rotary percussive drilling techniques. Diamond drilled holes should be scrabbled. Pre-cast holes should have roughened sides. All dust and drilling debris should be removed. Bars and bolts should be degreased and all rust should be removed.

Mixing: ANCHORGROUT is supplied in pre-weighted two packs. The content of plastic bag should be emptied in metal container, mixed thoroughly to form a smooth paste. Once mixed two components use it in one operation.

Installation: The grout should be injected to the bottom of the hole to avoid entrapment of air. Due to its thixotropic nature, loss of ANCHORGROUT from the hole will be insignificant.

ANCHORGROUT can be used for a permanent installation of reinforcement doweling and starter bars, foundation bolts, base plates, hand rails, safety fences, wall tiles, railway tracks, tie back anchors and grout for tower cranes.
Due to its thixotropic nature it can be used in vertical, horizontal and overhead situations. It can be used in damp conditions. Ideal product for hole grouting having diameter max 25mm & min. 4mm.

ULTRA HIGH STRENGTH, FREE FLOWING, NON-SHRINK CEMENTITIOUS GROUT

FLOWGROUT 60 is based on specially processed cement containing fillers and additives. FLOWGROUT 60 is supplied as ready-to-use grout requiring the addition of a precise quantity of water at the site (3.750 to 4 Litre/25 Kg Grout). FLOWGROUT 60 is suitable for gap widths of between 10mm – 50mm. For thickness over 50mm. (say 75-100), cleaned washed 10mm aggregates can be incorporated at the rate of 20% of the quantity of grout used. This reduces the heat of hydration.
Expansion: Controlled expansion occurs in the unset material to ensure that the grout, when cured will continue to occupy its original volume within the confines of the voids in which it was placed. For thicker sections, it is necessary to fill out the grout with well-graded silt free aggregate to minimize heat buildup.

SALIENT FEATURES
• Prepacked, factory controlled consistent material needing only addition of water
• Shrinkage offset by expansion to ensure original volume is retained
• Free flowing, self-leveling grout
• Can withstand temperature up to 200ºC
• Easy placement and filling of underbases of machinery
• Non-metallic, non-toxic and chloride free
• Holds up to industrial machinery vibration & impact
• Extended work time for easy placement
• Excellent adhesion to concrete and steel
• Non staining
• High ultimate strength and durability

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Surface Preparation:
• All contaminated surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly by chemical or mechanical methods.
• All bolt pockets and under bases must be free from dust, laitance, and of sound substrate. If needed, substrate with water to allow for full absorption for at least 24 hours.
• Just before the grouting is to commence, all water must be removed completely leaving the surface only damp.

Mixing: Mechanical mixing using a grout mixer or concrete mixer is recommended.
• Place 80% of the water required in a concrete mixer (100% water in case of a grout mixer).
• Slowly add the required amount of FLOWGROUT 60 while mixing continuously for 1 minute. Add balance quantity of water (20%) and mix for 3 to 5 minutes. This will provide a smooth even consistency of grout.

Bolt Packets:
• Depending on the size of the bolt pockets, 50- 100% cleaned 10mm sound aggregates by weight of grout consumption may be sealed incorporated to economies on grout and also to keep the heat of hydration low.
Under base Plate:
• Leak proof strong formwork must be provided to withstand operational stresses while grouting and all edges must be sealed with FLOWGROUT 60 troweling consistency to arrest the grout flowing out of formwork.
CURING:
• 3-4 hours after grouting, all exposed areas must be cured with wet hessian cloths (keep wet always) or water ponding wherever possible for minimum 7 days.

FLOWGROUT 60 can be used to Bolt pockets and base plate grouting of all equipment, Crane, stanchion bases and all types of machinery with dynamic load.

Description
FLOWGROUT HES is a blend of special cement, selected and graded aggregates and Fairmate admixtures, enabling it to achieve high strengths in short time frame.

Recommended Uses
FLOWGROUT HES is useful for wide range of applications where fast strength is required, like:
1. Machine bedplates.
2. Anchoring bolts.
3. Bridge bearing pads.
4. Pre-cast concrete sections.
5. Cavities, gaps and recesses.

Application Instructions
Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from dust, ice, oils, grease or other surface contaminants such as curing membranes and form release agent etc. Bolt holes and fixing pockets should be free of dirt and debris by air blasting. For maximum bond, surfaces should be abraded or roughened, preferably by mechanical means such as needle gun, grit blasting, grinding etc. All prepared surfaces must be saturated with water several hours prior to grouting, ensuring it is free of any surface water or puddles.

Temperature control :
Temperature affects setting time and rate of increase for strength. For optimum performance maintain grout, concrete and/or steel substrates within the range of 25-30ºC prior to, during, and for 48 hours after placement of the grout.

Mixing Equipment :
FLOWGROUT HES is must be mechanically mixed using a mechanical grout mixer or a suitable drum mixer. The grout mixer will reduce the chances of the mix becoming lumpy or aerated.

Mixing Method:
1) 4 Liters of clean water per 25 kg bag of grout.
2) Add the powder component to approximately 80% of the total amount water component while mixing.
3) Add the remaining 20% of the water component to the grout at a steady rate while continuing to mix.
4) Mix until the grout appears homogenous (3-5 minutes). Allow to stand so any entrapped air can escape. Do not add more water to increase flow of the grout if a mix has stiffened due to time delays. If the grout is unworkable discard.
