DESCRIPTION: UltraGrout-100 Non-Shrink Grout is a premium non-shrink, non-ferrous grout that is easily mixed for grouting at any consistency; drypack, platic or pourable. It contains no iron particales, chlorides or gypsum, and will not corrode, shrink, rust or ravel even under consistently moist conditions. When mixed according to instructions, it produces a high compressive strength due to a technology that reduces the water/cement ratio.

• One step, ready-to-use. Just add water.
• High density - increases bond to metal, wood and other materials
• Will not rust, bleed or harm materials it contacts.
• Requires no special treatment on open ends, or edges - no capping or cutbacks
• Clean finish - may be coated, trowel finished, or painted
• Density increases wearability and permeability; withstands heat andthermal shock
• Watertight - resists freeze, thaw, water conditions and salt penetration
• Resists a variety of oils and chemicals
• Contains no free lime - will no produce efforescence

APPLICATION: UltraGrout-100 is recommended for grouting:

• Heavy equipment and machinery bases
• Structural columns
• Pump and equipment bases
• Power line stanchions
• Pre-cast tee joints
• Re-pointing mortar joints
• Structural cracks
• Bearing plates
• Rail posts, seating bolts
• Post-tensioned cables
• Patching

MIXING AND PROPORTIONS: UltraGrout-100 is a one-step, ready-to-use mixture. Just add water - nothing more. For uniform mix, use paddle or drum-type mechanical mortar mixers. Do not mix for more than 5 minutes. Place grout immediately after mixing. Do not mix more grout than can be placed within the allotted work time.

The temperature of the grout and the atmosphere, and the configuration of the area to be grouted, can each or in combination affect the time during which grout can be sucessfully worked. To be safe, complete grouting within 40 minutes of the mixing of water to the batch.

SURFACE PREPARATION: First remove all dirt, oil, grease, or contaminants from surfaces to be grouted. Then remove all loose material.

Metals which will come in contact with grout must be derusted, or freed of paints, oils, and greases.

To avoid entrapment of air, provide air-relief openings where required. Prior to placement of grout, thoroughly soak or dampen all concrete areas to be grouted. Then remove excess water from voids and holes.

FORMING: For machinery bases and column base plates, follow standard forming procedures which permit complete and proper placement of fluid grout, including use of head forms.

All support elements should be anchored to prevent movement. Do not remove supports until grout has sufficiently hardened. Wood surfaces which absorb moisture should be pre-treated with forming oils. When grouting edges of concrete which are less than 1 inch thick, cut edges back to form a uniform butt.

PLACEMENT: Follow the standard grouting procedures and recommendations of ACI for the placement and curing of concrete. Use chains, rods, or tamping devices to compact grout, taking care to remove all air voids.

For optimum results air temperature should be near 72°. Pour grout quickly and continuously, striking off exposed areas. Finished UltraGrout-100 should be cured 72 hours for base plate application.

SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE: UltraGrout-100 meets or exceeds the following specifications:

• CRD-C-621-89 Specification for Non-Shrink Grout
• CRD-C-614 Method of Test for Time of Setting of Grout Mixtures
• ASTM-C-109 Standard Test for Compressive Strenght of Hydraulic Cement Mortars
• ASTM-C-266 (CRD-C-222) Standard Test for Time of Setting of Hydraulic Cement by Gillmore Needle
• ASTM-C-232 (CRD-C-79) Standard Method of Test for Bleeding of Concrete
• ASTM-C-827-82 Standard Test Method for Early Colume Change of Cementitious Mixtures

Documents evaluating compliance with specifications by an independent testing laboratory are available.

YIELD: BVS UltraGrout-100 is packaged in 55 lb. bags to yield 0.467 cubic foot of grout.

• Temperatures between 50°F and 80°F (10°C-27°C) have no effect on the grouting procedure. When temperatures fall below 50°F around the area to be grouted, the mixing water and the dry grout should be warmed to not more than 80°F. Use ACI-306-87 "Standard on Cold Weather Concreting" as a guide, however when temperatures of 80°F or more prevail, the grout and the mixing water should be cooled as per ACI-305-89 "Standard on Hot Weather Concreting".
• Do not add accelerators to UltraGrout-100
• Grouted surfaces that are exposed to the atmosphere should be treated with a clear curing compound to prevent rapid shrinking and cracking.
• If damp curing is applied, keep the ground moist for at least 24 hours.
