SikaGrout®

High Performance Cementitious Grout

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
  • Flowable & high strength
  • Multiple fluidity with one material
  • Shrinkage compensated - no cracking
  • 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
  • Can be used on grade, above & below grade, indoors & outdoors

Application steps

MIXING

  • Mixing can be done manually or mechanically. 
  • Add the appropriate amount of clean water for desired flow to a suitable mixing container. 
  • While mixing slowly, add the powder to the water. 
  • If mixing mechanically, mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with a low-speed (< 500 rpm) drill hand drill mixer to avoid entraining too much air.
  • Mix to a uniform consistency for 3 minutes.
  • Make sure all forming, mixing, placing, and clean-up materials are on hand.
  • 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. 

       

Extension With Aggregates

 

  • For deeper applications, (plastic and flowable consistencies only) 25 lbs. (11.3 L) of 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) pea gravel can be added to the mix of water and SikaGrout®.
  • The aggregate must be nonreactive (reference ASTM C-1260, C-227, and C-289), clean, well graded, saturated surface dry, have low absorption and high density, and comply with ASTM C-33 size number 8 per Table 2.
  • Add the pea gravel after adding SikaGrout® to the water.
 

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

CURING TREATMENT

Wet cure for a minimum of 3 days or apply a curing compound which complies with ASTM C-309 on exposed surfaces.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
