SikaGrout FM

SikaGrout FM
High performance, Non-Shrink Cementitious Grout

Description A ready mixed, low heat cementitious grout incorporating silica fume which has
excellent flowability and a special two-stage volumetric expansion characteristic to
compensate the plastic shrinkage normally associated with cementitious grout.
Construction

Complies to Corps of Engineer’s specification CRD C-621 and ASTM C-1107

Use For grouting over a wide range of applications:

Anchor bolts

Machine bedding/base plates

Supporting bridge bearing pads

Precast concrete sections

Dry pack applications

Cavities, gaps and recesses.

Advantages
Easy to use .... just add water

Low heat development

Good flow characteristic

Adjustable consistency

Impact and vibration resistant

Shrinkage compensated

High final strength

Very suitable for use in marine structure

Non-Corrosive

Non-Toxic
3
Consumption ~ 1.905 kg/m of mortar.

Instruction For Use

Surface Preparation Remove dirt, oil, grease, loose material and other bond-inhibiting materials.
Anchor bolts to be grouted must be degreased with suitable solvent.
Concrete must be sound ad roughened to promote mechanical adhesion.
Prior to pouring, surface must be wetted to saturated surface dry

Forming For pourable grout, construct forms to retain grout without leakage.
Forms should be lined or coated with bond-breaker for easy removal.
Forms should be sufficiently high to accommodate head of grout.
Where grout tight form is difficult to achieve, use SikaGrout FM in dry pack
consistency.

Mixing Put appropriate quantity of water (depend on the required consistency) into a
mixing vessel. Add slowly the total contents of SikaGrout FM while mixing. Mix
continuously for 3 minutes to achieve an even consistency. Use a mechanically low
speed drill (400–600 rpm) with helical type mixing paddle or appropriately sized
mortar mixer.

Application Within 25 minutes after mixing, place grout into forms from one side to avoid air
entrapment. Do not vibrate. Use a suitable head box of 150–200 mm and maintain
the grout head at all times to ensure a continuos flow. Gentle tapping or pulling
loops of wire from one side may assist the flow of the mortar under difficult working
conditions.

 Curing Wet cure for a minimum 3 days with wet hessian, plastic sheet or apply a curing
compound (Antisol)

Limitation Minimum application thickness : 10 mm

Recommended thickness of SikaGrout FM in one pour is 20 mm to 100 mm.
If the thickness exceeds 100 mm, special procedure must be taken to anticipate
temperature rise. Iced water, add coarse aggregate to the mix, or both of them may
be used to eliminate temperature rise.
Keep the materials and substrate temperature lower than 300 C
Variations in cement could cause shade differences in colour of the mortar
