Description
eGrout S50 is supplied as a ready to use dry powder. The
addition of a controlled amount of clean water will produce a
grout for placing into voids.
eGrout S50 is a blend of Portland cements, graded
aggregates and additives. The low water requirement
produces a grout of high strength with good workability.
For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer should
be used. When quantities up to 60 kg are used, a slow speed
drill fitted with a high shear mixer is suitable. Larger quantities
will require a high shear vane mixer. Do not use a colloidal
impeller mixer.
To enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously,
it is essential that sufficient mixing capacity and labour are
available. The use of a grout holding tank with provision to
gently agitate the grout may be required.
