SikaGrout®

One-component, High performance, cementitious grout mix

SikaGrout® is a non-shrink, cementitious grout with a unique 2-stage shrinkage compensating mechanism. It is non-metallic and contains no chloride. With a special blend of shrinkage-reducing and plasticizing/water-reducing agents, SikaGrout® compensates for shrinkage in both the plastic and hardened states. A structural grout, SikaGrout® provides the advantage of multiple fluidity with a single component.

  • Easy to use, just add water
  • Multiple fluidity with one material
  • Non-metallic, will not stain or rust
  • Low heat build-up
  • Excellent for pumping: Does not segregate, even at high flow. No build-up on equipment hopper
  • Superior freeze/thaw resistance
  • Resistant to oil and water
  • Meets ASTM C-1107
  • Shows positive expansion when tested in accordance with ASTM C-827
  • SikaGrout® is USDA-approved

Usage

  • Use for structural grouting of column base plates, machine base plates, anchor rods, bearing plates, etc.
  • Use on grade, above and below grade, indoors and out
  • Multiple fluidity allows ease of placement: ram in place as a dry pack, trowel-apply as a medium flow, pour or pump as high flow

Application steps

MIXING

Mix manually or mechanically. Mechanically mix with low-speed drill (400–600 rpm) and Sika mixing paddle or in appropriately sized mortar mixer. Make sure all forming, mixing, placing, and clean-up materials are on hand. Add appropriate quantity of clean water to achieve desired flow. Add bag of powder to mixing vessel. Mix to a uniform consistency, minimum of 2 minutes. Ambient and material temperature should be as close as possible to 70 °F (21 °C). If higher, use cold water; if colder, use warm water. 

  

Product Extension: For deeper applications, SikaGrout® (plastic and flowable consistencies only) may be extended with 25 lb. (11.3 L) of 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) pea gravel. The aggregate must be nonreactive, clean, wellgraded, saturated surface dry, have low absorption and high density, and comply with ASTM C33 size number 8 per Table 2. Add the pea gravel after the water and SikaGrout.

APPLICATION

Within 15 minutes after mixing, place grout into forms in normal manner to avoid air entrapment. Vibrate, pump, or ram grout as necessary to achieve flow or compaction. SikaGrout® must be confined in either the horizontal or vertical direction leaving minimum exposed surface. SikaGrout® is an excellent grout for pumping, even at high flow. For pump recommendations, contact Technical Service. Wet cure for a minimum of 3 days or apply a curing compound which complies with ASTM C-309 on exposed surfaces.

  

Tooling and Finishing

After grout has achieved final set, remove forms, trim or shape exposed grout shoulders to designed profile.
