DELTAGROUT DE

Dual Expansion Non-shrink Cementitious Grout

DESCRIPTION
Deltagrout DE cementitious grout is a ready to use dry powder, blends of Portland cement, graded fillers
and special polymerized chemical additives which impart controlled expansion and increase tensile
strength in the plastic state as well as in the hardened state which will avoid long term shrinkage and
cracks. The low water demand ensures high early strength. The graded filler is designed to assist uniform
mixing and produce a consistent grout.

USES
Deltagrout DE is used where it is essential to eliminate shrinkage for completely filling the void between a
base plate and a substrate. It can also be used for concrete repairs, especially for enlargement of structural
concrete like column, beam or floors, where short term and long term cracks should be avoided.

ADVANTAGES
Gaseous and special polymerized additive cement expansion system are to compensate plastic and long
term shrinkage and settlement; no metallic iron content to cause staining, prepackaged material overcomes
potential on-site batching variations, develops high early strength without the use of chlorides, high
ultimate strength and low permeability which ensure the durability of the hardened grout.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

Mixing
Mechanically powered grout mixer should be used for best results; a slow speed mixer should be used for
quantities up to 50 kg. To enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously, it is necessary that
sufficient mixing capacity and labor are available.

Consistency of grout mix

The quantity of clean water required to be added to a 25 kg bag is depending on the required consistency.
To achieve the trowellable consistency is 3.2 – 3.6 liters, whilst for flowable consistency it needs 4.0 – 4.5
liters of clean water. The selected water content should be accurately measured into the mixer. The total
contents of the Deltagrout DE bag should be slowly added and continuous mixing should take place for 5
minutes. This will ensure that the grout has a smooth and even consistency.

Placing
Pour the grout within 15 minutes of mixing to gain full benefit of the expansion process; the grout can be
placed in thickness up to 100 mm in a single pour when used as an under-plate grout. For thicker sections
it is necessary to fill out Deltagrout DE with well-graded 10mm, silt free aggregate to minimize
exothermal process when the grout sets, with the proportion of aggregate and grout not more than 1:1.
Continuous grout flow is essential, thus sufficient grout must be prepared before starting. The time taken
to pour a batch must be regulated to the time taken to prepare the next one. Pouring should be from one
side of the void to eliminate any air or pre-soaking water becoming trapped under the base plate.

 Curing
When the grouting operation completed, exposed areas should be completely cured, this should be done
by continuous application of water and or wet hessian

SUPPLY
Deltagrout DE is supplied in 25 kg plastic bag.

YIELD
The approximate yield per 25 kg bag is depending on the consistency of the grout.
Yield for trowellable grout is 12.2 liters, and yield for flowable grout is 13.6 liters.

STORAGE
Deltagrout DE has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry condition and stored in sealed bags. If stored in
high temperature and high humidity locations the shelf life will be reduced.

LIMITATIONS
Grouts should not be placed in any unrestrained situation, failure to comply may lead to crack
development in the hardened grout.
