Features & Benefits

• Supplied as a ready to use dry powder
• The addition of a controlled amount of clean water produces a free-flowing grout
• Low water requirement ensures high early strength and long-term durability
• Conbextra TS is a blend of Portland cements, graded fillers, selected aggregates and chemical additives
• Filler grading produces a highly flowable grout which will not segregate or bleed and reduces the exothermic heat generation and risk of thermal cracking common with gap thicknesses in excess of 100mm
• Non-shrink
• High strength
• Chloride free
• Can be pumped or poured
• Suitable for thick sections
• Yield: Approximate yield per 25 kg bag for different consistencies is 12L
• Fire Classification: Class A1 Non-Combustible
• Conbextra TS is non-flammable

Application Notes

• For a minimum of 2 hours prior to grouting, the area of cleaned foundation should be flooded with fresh water
• Immediately before grouting takes place, any free water should be removed
• Particular care should be taken to blow out all bolt holes and pockets
• Where water soaking is impossible contact  our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for advice
• The formwork should be constructed to be leakproof as Conbextra TS is a free flowing grout
• This can be achieved by using foam rubber strip beneath the constructed formwork and between joints
• For mixing quantities up to 50 kg, a 1150 watt, 280 to 640 rpm, 110 volt drill, fitted with an MR3 Mixing Paddle is suitable
• For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer should be used. Larger quantities will require a high shear vane mixer. Do not use a colloidal impeller mixer
• Place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain the full benefit of the expansion process
• Conbextra TS can be placed in thicknesses 75 to 500mm in a single pour
• For thinner sections use Conbextra HF grout

Please see the Product Data Sheet for detailed information.

Limitations

Low Temperature Working:

• When the air or contact surface temperatures are 5°C or below on a falling thermometer, warm water (30°C to 40°C) is recommended to accelerate strength development
• Substrates should be free from ice
• For ambient temperatures below 10°C the grout consistency should be flowable and the formwork should be maintained in place for at least 36 hours
• Normal precautions for winter working with cementitious materials should then be adopted, specifically protecting the grout from freezing in the first 48 hours after placing

High Temperature Working:

• At ambient temperatures above 35°C the mixed grout should be stored in the shade
• Cool water (below 20°C) should be used for mixing the grout
