In the world of construction, time is as crucial as the materials used to build. This truth becomes even more pronounced when working under the chill of winter, where every moment on the clock is a race against dropping temperatures.…
Introduction Cementitious grouts are essential for various construction applications, providing strong and durable connections between various elements. In this comprehensive guide, we'll cover the key steps and best practices for applying cementitious grouts, from surface preparation to curing. Surface Preparation…
Surface Preparation Surfaces to be grouted should be clean and free from rust, dirt, grime, oil, curing compound and any other contaminants that will inhibit the bond of the cementitious grout. Determine method of placement and form area to be…
Preparation Concrete Substrate Cleaning, roughening, and presoaking the concrete substrate with water for 18-24 hours are essential steps to be taken before placing grout. Cleaning and roughening will insure a proper bond of the grout to the substrate. Presoaking the…
Hot Weather Grouting As the grout temperature approaches 30°C (85°F) the working time of the grout will be approximately one half of the working time at 20°C (70°F). At 30°C (85°F) and above, placement may become very difficult and steps…
Our cement-based, high performance, non-shrink grouts are developed to provide strength and durability in a variety of specialty applications. From general, high-strength, multi-purpose grouting to flowable, non-shrink, precision applications; from metallic grouts to pumpable, wash-out resistant grouts designed for underwater…
