Tools Required
Low speed electrical mixer (max. 500 rpm) and stirring paddle, air compressor, highpressure water jet (100-150 bars), mixing clean pails, hand tools.
Preliminary Works

Construction

Prepare a grout tight formwork and kept to the strict minimum the surface area of
exposed grout. Allow a pressure head for the formwork mouth and enough air escape
at the opposite end refer to sketch.
Estimate the required quantity of SikaGrout-210s for the daily usage to ensure sufficient
material for each use and no unnecessary stoppages are encountered.
Select the correct material in function of the application thickness and ambition
temperatures.
Application Temperature
SikaGrout-210: Ambient; +0C / +15 C,
SikaGrout-212: Ambient; +5C / +30C,
SikaGrout-214: Ambient; +15C / +30C,

Substrate; +5C / +15C

Substrate; +5C / +30C
Substrate; +15C / +30C

Application Thickness
SikaGrout-210: 10 mm min. / 30 mm max.
SikaGrout-212: 10 mm min. / 75 mm max.
SikaGrout-214: 10 mm min. / 30 mm max.
Please only use SikaGrout for grouting works. If application thickness is thicker than
recommended thickness, please use following recommendations;
Up to 100 mm, 5-10 mm aggregate can be added to grout
Up to 150 mm, 5-15 mm aggregate can be added to grout
The amount of washed, clean and dry aggregate, which will be added to grout, must be
less than half of grout amount by weight. In case of adding extra aggregate (preferably
natural) to the grout, due to the reduction of cement, strengths and consistency can be
reduced approx. 20-40%.
Consumption
1 bag (25 kg) of SikaGrout yields to:
SikaGrout-210/214: ~12.5 litres of grout
SikaGrout-212: ~12.5 litres of grout
Preparation
Remove all dust and debris from the substrate area using compressed air and/or water
jet. On the day of application, soak the substrate thoroughly with clean water for a few
hours to obtain a surface saturated dry (SSD) condition. Then remove the water and
ensure that there is no ponding water prior to start work.

Mixing
SikaGrout-210/214:
Water: mortar powder = 1: 7.1 to 1: 8.3 parts by weight for a mortar with good flow
properties (3 - 3.5 l water per bag).

Construction

SikaGrout-212:
Water: mortar powder = 1: 7.7 to 1: 9.1 parts by weight for a mortar with good flow
properties (2.75 - 3.25 l water per bag).
Measure the appropriate quantity of water and place it into a clean mixing pail. Pour
slowly the powder while mixing. Strip the sides of the container with a long spatula to
ensure no unmixed grout remains stuck to the container.
Continue mixing until a homogeneous free flowing grout is achieved (generally for 2-3
minutes).
Application
Pour the grout through the mouth of the formwork. Allow the grout to flow to the
opposite end. Depending on the size of the base plate, in order to help the grout to flow
through the end, it might be necessary to rod the grout with a thick wire.
Maintain a pressure head while pouring and ensure that the process is continuous to
avoid air entrapment.
Pour until the grout is up to the top of the plate. This will force the material to the plate
bottom and achieve a maximum effective bearing area (EBA).
Curing
Cure exposed area with proper curing method for 3 days or spray this area the relevant
curing compound once the grout starts to stiffen.
Cleaning
Use water to clean tools while material is still not harden.
Safety
As cement is alkaline and may cause irritation to certain allergic people, applicators are
recommended to wear gloves and goggles while working with SikaGrout-200s. In case
material gets into eyes, wash immediately with clean water. If irritation persists, seek
medical assistance.
