Application Details
__________________________________________________________________
Substrate All surfaces must be clean, free standing water and all
Preparation loosely adhering particles. Cement laitance must be
removed and the surfaces to be treated must be
mechanically roughened. Concrete must be at least 3-4
weeks old.
Metal surfaces (steel and iron) should be free from
rust, oil, grease and any previous surface coating.
________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Mix components A+B together for at least one
minute with a slow speed electric drill
(max. 250 R.P.M.).Then add aggregate (component C)
and continue mixing for approx. 3 minutes until a
homogeneous, flowable mixture is achieved.
________________________________________________________________________
Application When grouting under bearing plates, ensure sufficient
pressure to maintain movement of the grout. Air must be
allowed to escape. For large volumes, apply in more
than one layer, ensuring that the previous layers have
hardened and cooled.
________________________________________________________________________
Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
