Instructions for Use

Surface Preparation Correct and thorough surface preparation is essential to achieve the high
performance qualities of SikaGrout-100.
All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from dust, ice, oils, grease or
other surface contaminants such as curing membranes and form release
agent etc. Bolt holes and fixing pockets should be free of dirt and debris by air
blasting. For Maximum bond, surfaces should be abraded or roughened,
preferably by mechanical means such as needle gun, grit blasting, grinding
etc.
All prepared surfaces must be saturated with water several hours prior to
grouting, providing a saturated surface dry substrate condition. Remove
excess water from surfaces and bolt holes before introducing grout.

Formwork The formwork used must be leak proof to allow for free flowing SikaGrout-
100. The formwork should be arranged so that the grout head is maintained
on the side above the level of the underside of the base plate. This will allow
gravity flow to completely fill the void to be grouted.
Formwork should be coated with form oil to allow easy removal of forms.
Ensure adequate air holes are provided.

Temperature control Temperature effects setting time and rate of increase for strength. For
optimum performance maintain grout, concrete and/or steel substrates within
o
the range of 18-25 C prior to, during, and for 48 hours after placement of the
grout.

 o
Temperature control At low temperatures (below 10 C) grout setting time is extended and bleeding
(cont.) may occur. As a result, base plate contact may be reduced. To reduce the
setting of SikaGrout-100, accelerating admixtures such as Sika-4A or Sika
Rapid-1 may be added.
o
At high temperatures (greater than 30 C) grout setting is reduced, affecting
placement. It is recommended that grouting at high temperatures be sheltered
from the heat, or be conducted early in the morning.
It is a good practice to keep materials cool in high temperatures using cold
water for mixing. Setting times can also be increase using a retarding
admixture such as SikaTard-930.
It is suggested that site trials be conducted to determine optimum dosage rate
for recommended admixture. For further details contact Sika’s Technical
Department.
Construction

Application
Mixing equipment SikaGrout-100 must be mechanically mixed using a mechanical grout mixer
or a suitable drum mixer. The grout mixer will reduce the chances of the mix
becoming lumpy or aerated.
Smaller quantities should be mixed in clean drum using an electric drill and
spiral drill and spiral mixer at a speed of approximately 500 rpm.
DO NOT MIX BY HAND.

Mixing Method 1) Plastic grout, add 2.8 litres of water per 20kg bag. Flowable grout, add
3.7 litres of water per 20kg bag.
2) Add the powder component to approximately 70% of the total amount
water component while mixing.
3) Add the remaining 30% of the water component to the grout at a steady
rate while continuing to mix.
4) Mix until the grout appears homogenous (3-5 minutes). Allow to stand so
any entrapped air can escape. Do not add more water to increase flow of
the grout if a mix has stiffened due to time delays. If the grout is
unworkable discard.

Placement SikaGrout-100 can be placed by either gravity flow or by pump. It is essential

that proper placing is completed without problems. Sufficient labour, grout and
equipment must be present to ensure continuous placement.

1) Gravity Flow Mixed grout should be poured one side of the void to avoid air entrapment.
Grout is best poured over short distances to ensure this. Use a suitable
header box, maintaining the grout head at all times to ensure continuous flow.
To facilitate grout compaction and top plate contact, use rodding, tamping or
flexible strapping in short strokes while maintaining an adequate head of
grout. Do not vibrate as this will cause segregation. Any adjacent machinery
or equipment causing vibration should be shut down until initial set (5 to 6
hours)

2) Pumping When pumping SikaGrout-100, ensure the pump is suitable for the grout
consistency and for the distance and height it is to be pumped. A positive
displacement pump is recommended. Place grout by pumping into the farthest
corner, filling the space gradually. Ensure that air is not entrapped under the
base plate.
Placement Thickness Recommended thickness of SikaGrout-100 in one pour is 20mm to 50mm.
Minimum thickness is 10mm. Maximum thickness in one pass is 100mm. Any
grout pour that exceeds this should be done in stages, or have stone
aggregate added to it, to reduce the exothermic heat. Contact Sika’s
Technical Department for further information.

 Aggregate Addition Coarse aggregate can be added to mixed SikaGrout-100 to achieve a stronger
grout, to increase the thickness of grout placed in one pass, or to increase yield.
It is recommended that aggregate size be 10mm, however as a guide the maximum
aggregate size should not be more than 1/5 of the thickness of the section to be
cast. The aggregate shape, and the quantity added, will effect the workability of the
mix. Smooth rounded aggregate is found to produce the most workable mix.
The recommended maximum aggregate addition rate is 20kg per 20kg bag of
SikaGrout-100.

Curing Suitable curing methods such as plastic sheet, wet hessian, liquid membrane (eg,
Antisol curing membranes) etc. must be used to protect the freshly applied grout
Construction
from the drying effects of sun and wind. Curing must commence immediately after
placement, and continue for at least 7 days. Curing is vital to the ultimate
performance of grout as it allows optimum strength development and ensures tight
contact with the baseplate.
Cleaning Remove uncured SikaGrout-100 from tools and equipment with water. Hardened
material can only be removed mechanically.
