NON-SHRINK GROUT
Page 2
Smaller amounts can be mixed by hand.
4. Add approximately ¾ of the expected mix water into the
mixer, add the Non-Shrink Grout powder, add additional
water in small increments until desired consistency is
achieved (refer to “Typical Values” chart for mix water
requirements). Water requirements may vary due to the
temperature, mixing method, and desired consistency.
5. Mix to a uniform, lump-free consistency, no longer than 5
minutes. Non-Shrink Grout should not be re-
tempered.
6. Warmer temperatures will reduce the working time. The
addition of cold water at high temperatures, or warm water in
low temperatures will aid in adjusting the mix temperature.
Application
1. After cleaning and pre-wetting the surface, place grout in a
manner to avoid air entrapment. To avoid segregation, be
careful not to overwork grout.
2. Create vent holes where necessary. A vibrator, rod, chain, or
trowel may be used to assist in consolidating the grout and
eliminating air voids. Forms should be sealed to prevent wa-
ter or grout loss. Whenever possible, bolt holes should be
grouted first.
3. Placement and consolidation should be continuous for any
one section of the grout. Forms can be removed and excess
grout should be trimmed from surfaces and edges after the
grout has hardened to initial set.
4. Minimum application thickness is ½ in. (13 mm); maximum is
4 in. (100 mm).
Curing
After the patch has reached final set, during the first 24 hours,
keep the patch damp or covered to prevent excessive loss of
water, especially during hot and/or drying winds or when low
humidity are present. Under such conditions, damp cure by
covering the surface with wet burlap or towel overnight to
retain moisture or lightly fog spray. After 24 hours, remove
covering and allow to air cure. Damp curing is not required
when used to repair smaller cracks.
Clean Up
Use soapy water to clean hands and tools immediately after
use. Dried material must be mechanically removed. Use a
waste water hardener (e.g. Congelz
®
or similar product) for
cementitious waste disposal.
Limitations

handling, such as gloves and eye protection. Wear gloves at
