Chemrite Grout NS

Chemrite Grout NS
High Strength, High Performance Non – Shrink Grout
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Description Chemrite Grout NS is a cement-based, non-metallic, non -
shrink grout for supporting machinery and anchoring equipment.
When mixed with water, it expands to compensate the shrinkage
normally associated with cementitious products. Complies with
ASTM C1107, Type C & CRD-C 621-83.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite Grout Ns is used for grouting the following:
-- Machine foundations & Bearing plates.
-- Stabilization of loose soil strata.
-- Foundation bolts, anchors and dowels.
-- Bridge, road and tunnel projects.
-- Supports of tanks and vessels.
-- Repair of concrete structures.
-- Gaps, Cavities and recesses.
-- Precast concrete elements.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemrite Grout NS is an easy to use product which requires
simply addition of water at site. Its application offers the
following benefits:
-- Easy to mix
-- Excellent flowability with adjustable consistency.
-- High early strength.
-- Rapid strength development.
-- No strength loss over a long period.
-- Excellent bond with both concrete and steel.
-- Self-levelling ensures all gaps are filled uniformly.

Application
_______________________________________________________________________________
Surface Preparation Concrete must be clean, sound, free from oil, grease and
roughened to ensure a good bond with the substrate. Metal
surfaces should be free from scale, rust and oil or grease.
Absorbent surfaces should be in saturated-surface-dry (SSD)
condition prior to grout application.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing --
Measured amount of water is added into the dry powder to
suit the desired level of consistency
-- Mix with a slow speed drill (max. 500 rpm) for at least 3 to
4 minutes to achieve uniform consistency.
-- In hot weather, use chilled water to keep grout temperature
below 30°C

Placement --
Chemrite Grout NS, when mixed with water, can be
poured or pumped. Horizontal pours should not exceed
150 mm at one time.
-- Immediately after initial set, begin wet curing for at least
three days. A suitable concrete curing compound like
Chemcure - 10 can also be used for this purpose.
-- For large volume pours, consider extending the grout with
clean aggregate. A maximum of 10 Kg aggregate may be
added in 25 Kg of Chemrite Grout NS.
-- In hot weather ambient environment, base plates and
foundation should be protected from exposure to direct
sunlight.
