FLOWFILL GROUT GP
CEMENTITIOUS GENERAL PURPOSE GROUT
SMART ADVANTAGES - Non shrink: Delivers positive expansion in plastic stage - High early strength: Ensure rapid installation - Flowable consistency ensure filling of all intricate voids - Non segregation: Highly stable segregation free grout - Dense & impermeable grout on full cure - Workability: Can be pumped, trowelled or poured
DESCRIPTION
Flowfill Grout GP is a pre-packed cementitious grout requiring
only the addition of clean water to produce a multi application
non shrink grout at the site. It is a special and unique blend of
cements, micro silica, graded sands, water reducing agents and
special auxiliary chemical to deliver expansion in the plastic
state to compensate for shrinkage. Flowfil Grout GP can be
mixed in a range of consistencies by varying the amount of
water used to produce a fluid to trowelable consistency grouts
.
RECOMMENDED USES
Flowfill Grout GP is formulated for a wide range of applications
such as grouting of machinery base plates, anchor bolts,
structural grouting of precast elements, grouting of crane rails,
bridge seats, beams, columns and handrails. It is suitable for
use in marine environments.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
• Precast and prestressed panels
• Grouting in column base, base infilling
• Filling core holes, rod holes and defects in concrete
• Fill in grout for hollow block walls
• Joints between precast panels and other joints
• Tile slab panels
• Caulking of joints and pipes
PLANNING:
Plan surface preparation, formwork, fixing base plate, mixing
and placing equipment, manpower and quantity of grout
required.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
The substrate must be clean, sound and free from oil, grease,
curing compound or any loose material. It must be
mechanically abraded back to a sound concrete. Bolts or
anchor holes must be clean and free from dust or loose
material. This can be achieved by blowing clean the hole.
PRE-SOAKING:
It is essential to pre-soak the concrete substrate prior to
application of Flowfill grout GP. Pre-soak substrate with water
for a minimum of 6 hours prior to grouting. Immediately before
pouring, the excess water should be removed, all water in the
anchor and bolt holes must be blown out and no traces of free
water present whilst grouting.
BASE PLATE:
All traces of rust, oil or grease must be removed. It is essential
to provide air pressure relief holes for venting.
FORMWORK:
It is essential that the formwork be constructed to facilitate
rapid continuous and complete filling at area to be grouted. It
is essential that the formwork constructed be leak proof and
watertight. Foam rubber strips of suitable sealants underneath
the formwork are recommended. Formwork should allow
gravity flow of grout between the base plate and foundation
ensuring grout is kept in full contact with base plate and
concrete substrate.
