SpECgrout E60 is a free-flow grout for use in
situations where high dynamic loading is
anticipated. It is suitable as a bedding layer for
mechanical joint system.
· Resistant to dynamic loading
· Non-shrink ensuring maximum contact area
· High compressive, tensile and flexural strengths
· High strength
· Early strength gain
· Chemically resistant
Preparation
All substrates should be sound and free from oils
and greases and must be dry. Concrete surfaces
must be scabbled or grit blasted to a sound base.
Dust and debris must be removed.
Steel surfaces, particularly the underside of base
plates, should be grit blasted to clean bright metal.
Baseplate Grouting
Formwork
Formwork must be constructed which is leak proof
and be similar to that shown in the sketch below:
For successful grouting it is essential to
provide a hydrostatic head of grout. To achieve
this a feeding hopper system should be used
similar to that shown in the sketch below
Mixing
SpECgrout E60 is supplied in a three-component
pack consisting of one tin of resin, one tin of
hardener and one bag of specially selected fillers.
the base and hardener should
be first mixed together in a 25
litre steel container and the
powder component added
slowly while mixing with a slow
speed drill and paddle.
Complete mixing will take atleast 3 minutes.
Placing
The mixed material should be poured at a
uniform rate into the hopper end of the
formwork only.Pouring should be continuous to avoid
entrapment of air.
Good planning is essential to ensure sufficient
material is available to complete the pour.
