Important Considerations
- Lower temperatures slow setting and strength development.
- "Non-shrink" properties are most effective when water loss is prevented.
Application Instructions
Substrate quality / pre-treatment
Prepare substrate mechanically (high pressure water, grit blasting, etc.). Absorbent surfaces must be saturated with clean water but free of standing water. Concrete, mortar, and stone must be sound, clean, and free of contaminants. Metal surfaces should be clean and free of scale, rust, oil, and grease.
Mixing
Add 70-80% of clean water to a clean container and gradually add the entire bag of SikaGrout GP AU while mixing. Add remaining water to achieve desired consistency. Mix for 3-5 minutes with a low speed drill (max. 500 rpm).
Application
Stir lightly after mixing to release trapped air. Pour immediately into prepared formwork, maintaining sufficient pressure head for baseplate grouting. For large areas, maintain continuous flow; pumping with heavy-duty diaphragm, screw feed, or piston pumps is possible. For sections > 100 mm, mix with up to 1 part 10 mm silt-free aggregates to 1 part grout by weight. Use breather holes and steel rods/chains to aid flow if needed. Preliminary trials are recommended.
Curing treatment
Leave formwork for at least 3 days. Upon removal, cure exposed surfaces immediately with Antisol curing compound or other approved methods.
Cleaning of equipment
Clean tools with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
