of high shear vane, professional grout mixer and pumps is
• Improved fluidity with a reduced mix water content recommended.
• Prolong workability
• Reduces bleeding and segregation
• Good strength and controlled expansion
• Improve cohesion APPLICATION
• Protect against corrosion of pre-stressing wires Mixed grout should be placed by continuous pouring from one
side of the formwork. Place the grout within 20 minutes of
mixing to gain full benefit of expansion process. Adopt usual

VOC < 0.1 g/L SURFACE PREPARATION
Ensure that the metal casing duct is leak-proof. Remove entire
amount of water filled in the duct during pre-grouting check by
air pressure. Check that air vents and valves are in good
working condition.
CURING
All exposed grout surfaces should be cured by using wet
hessian. Alternatively, curing compound from UltraCure range
can be used.
NOTE
In case of grout for post-tension cable ducts, maintain grout
temperature at 20 +/- 2C (as per BSEN 445) to ensure better
flow and retention properties. Water to powder ratio can be
adjust outside the given range to get the desire flow properties
of grout. Depending on the fineness and consistency of
cement, w/p can vary from 0.28 – 0.29.
