| Bulk density (mix) | 2 kg/L |
| Density (powder) | 2.93 kg/L |
| Colour | Grey |
| Workability time @ 25ºC | 30 minutes |
| Physiological effect | As cement |
| Uses: | Consistency range at FLOWABLE, FLUID or RAM to suit application. * Bedding: column base plates, machinery base plates, bearing plates, crane rails. * Grouting: anchor bolts, cables, starter bars, top steel. * Repairing: cavities in concrete. |
|---|---|
| Advantages: | * Quickly develops placeable consistency. * Remains cohesive and does not segregate. * Does not shrink. |
| Design Criteria: | A minimum clearance of 50mm is required between bed and base. For smaller areas where the flow will not be restricted, a limited minimum thickness of 25mm is recommended. When grouting anchor bolts, three times the bolt diameter is necessary. Smaller clearances should be grouted with one of the epidermix range of epoxy compounds. |
| Surface Preparation: | Provision for the escape of entrapped air must always be made. Contact surfaces must be clean, sound, free from dust and shutter release oils. Concrete surfaces must be thoroughly pre-wetted but excess surface water (free water) must be removed prior to placing the grout. Surface temperatures should not be less than 5°C. Always ensure that the shutters are watertight and sealed to prevent suction of water from the product. Ensure that the grout delivery head is of adequate height in order to accommodate the distance the grout must flow. Always pour from one side thus ensuring that the grout fills the void without entrapping air. |
| Bonding / Priming: | No primer required but in certain Instances where structural bonding is required ABE epidermix 344 should be used. |
| Mixing: | All water contents apply to 25 kg pockets of Dura Grout. Water quantities must be adjusted to match size of mix. Mixes must always use complete pockets, but more than one pocket may be used. Mixing of grout may be carried out in a pan mixer, drum mixer or by using a slow-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle. Using the standard 25 kg pocket of grout, add 3,5L of clean water to the mixing vessel. While stirring continuously, add the dry powder until the mixture is free from lumps. Then add further water (500 ml to 1L), continue mixing until a smooth, creamy consistency is obtained. Total mixing time should be approximately three minutes. Dura Grout used as a ram consistency – see mix design under “typical physical properties”. |
| Extending Dura Grout: | The minimum depth of grout to qualify for extending with 13 – 16mm clean stone is 100mm. The estimated water for a fluid (40 – 50 sec.) consistency, or less, is added to the mixer first followed by the dry grout. After mixing for 2-3 minutes, 12 liters of 13 – 16 mm clean stone should be added. After extending the grout, a lessening of flow of the mixed grout will be noted. Under no condition may any additional water be added to this mix as it would harm the quality of the matrix and the product will possibly bleed, shrink, and not perform to our satisfaction. |
| Coverage: | One bag of Duragrout will yield approximately 0.0125 m3 (12.5 L) of grout (4.5 litre water demand). Yield as per extending above 0.023 m3 (23 litres) of grout using 4.5 L water demand (LBD of stone of 1.2). |
| Application: | Mixed grout should be poured into the cavity at one point only to avoid entrapping air. For best results, mixed grout should be poured within 10 minutes of mixing and definitely within 30 minutes. If grout is not placed immediately after mixing, keep the material agitated. Grouting mixture more than 30 minutes old must be discarded. Duragrout can be compacted by gentle rodding or punning. It may also be applied by means of standard low pressure grouting pumps. Do not re-temper the grout should the consistency drop due to time lapse. |
| Handling & Storage: | Dura Grout has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry store in sealed bags. If stored in high temperature and in high humidity locations the shelf life may be reduced. |
