SikaGrout®-713

(former MasterFlow® 713)

HIGH-PRECISION NON-SHRINK MINERAL-AGGREGATE GROUT

SikaGrout®-713 is a cement-based grout with specially graded mineral aggregates. It can be used at any consistency from fluid to damp pack for applications that require precision support and early form stripping or shoulder trimming.

  • Single component, ready to mix and use
  • Hardens free of bleeding and settlement providing maximum effective bearing area for optimum load transfer
  • Highly fluid allowing pumpability into intricate or inaccessible areas
  • Fluid, flowable, plastic, or damp-pack consistencies to help adjust to jobsite conditions
  • Non-shrinking leaving no gaps around equipment and forms
  • Meets the requirements of ASTM C1107 and US Army Corps of Engineers CRD C621 (ASTM C1107-93a, Grades B and C), at a fluid consistency over a 5 – 10 minute working time.
  • Freeze/thaw resistant making it suitable for exterior applications
  • Has the appearance of concrete or mortar
  • Allows early form stripping or shoulder trimming

The data shown are based on controlled laboratory tests. Expect reasonable variations from the results given. Control field and laboratory tests on the basis of the desired placing consistency rather than strictly on the water content.
If the work requires that strength tests be made at the jobsite or in the laboratory, do not use cylinder molds. Use 2" (51 mm) metal cube molds as specified by ASTM C 942 or ASTM C 1107.

Application

Consumption

Coverage

One 55 lb (25 kg) bag of SikaGrout®-713 mixed with 11.25 lbs (5.1 kg) or 1.35 gallons (5.1 L) of water produces approximately 0.52 ft3 (0.015 m3) of grout. Water usage will vary with consistency requirements, increasing or decreasing the yield.
Application steps

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT READING AND REFERENCING THE COMPANION SikaGrout®-713 INSTALLATION GUIDE.

SURFACE PREPARATION

  • The surface to be grouted must be clean, SSD, strong, and roughened to a CSP of 5–9 following ICRI Guideline 310.2 to permit proper bond.
  • • When dynamic, shear, or tensile forces are anticipated, concrete surfaces should be chipped with a “chisel-point” hammer, to a roughness of (plus or minus) 3⁄8" (10 mm). Verify the absence of bruising following ICRI Guideline 210.3.

MIXING

  • Place estimated water (use potable water only) into the mixer, then slowly add the grout.
  • The water demand will depend on mixing efficiency and material and the ambient temperature. Use the minimum amount of water required to achieve the necessary placement consistency. Recommended flow is 25–30 seconds or greater using the ASTM C 939 Flow-Cone Method.
  • Mix grout for a minimum of 3 minutes after all material and water are in the mixer. Use a mechanical mixer only.

APPLICATION

  • Contact your local representative for a pre-job conference to plan the installation.
  • Always place grout from only one side of the equipment to prevent air or water entrapment beneath the equipment. Place SikaGrout®-713 in a continuous pour.
  • The minimum placement thickness is 1" (25 mm). Consult your Sika representative before placing lifts more than 6" (152 mm) in depth.
  • Do not use it in marine environments.
  • Should not be used as a floor topping.
  • Large, exposed areas of grout should be avoided.
  • Structural integrity of the grout is not affected by superficial, hairline cracks occasionally observed in shoulders, near base plate edges, and around anchor bolts.

CURING TREATMENT

Cure all exposed grout with an approved membrane curing compound compliant with ASTM C 309 or preferably ASTM C 1315.
