Placing and Finishing Yield

Under Base plate: Approximately 10 litre/20 kg pack.

Enough materials should be available to achieve
con nuous fill and to complete the work. Pouring of the
mixed grout should be started from one side only to avoid
air entrapment.
To obtain maximum flow distance, a side shu er feed
100 mm height should be erected and used to build
the required head. At 100 mm of head, a flow distance
of 1800 mm and 3000 mm can be achieved at gap

Storage
Flo-Grout EP260 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of
manufacture if stored at temperatures between 5°C and
35°C.
If these condi ons are exceeded, DCP Technical
Department should be contacted for advise.
