TPI GROUT 40 – Multipurpose cement-based grout, shrinkage compensating (>40 Mpa)

TPI Grout 40
Multipurpose cement-based grout, shrinkage compensating (>40 Mpa)

DESCRIBE

TPI Grout 40 It is a ready-mixed, non-shrink, cement-based grout with self-leveling and self-compacting properties, made with selected natural aggregates.

TPI Grout 40 This allows for an extension of the construction time, subject to local ambient temperature conditions.

APPLICATION OF TPI GROUT 40

TPI Grout 40 Used for the following applications:

• Machine bases, pedestals, and columns.
• Fill in gaps, cracks, and hollows in walls.
• Anchor bolts and beams.
• Concrete repair (ready-mixed mortar).

ADVANTAGE TPI GROUT 40

• Easy to use, just mix with water.
• Rapid growth rate saves time.
• Good fluidity makes it easy to pour grout into complex spaces.
• No water separation. No shrinkage. Ensures tight packing during use.
• Non-toxic, non-corrosive.
• It contains no iron or chloride.
• It can be pumped using a suitable grout pump.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE TPI GROUT 40

Surface preparation:

• The concrete surface must be clean, solid, free of oil, grease, impurities, and other loose components.
• Metal surfaces (iron, steel) must be free of scale, rust, or grease.
• Absorbent surfaces must be completely saturated, but without standing water.

Mix the products:

• The powder is added gradually to the pre-measured container of water until the desired consistency is achieved.
• When using an electric mixer, mix at a low speed (maximum 500 rpm) for at least 3 minutes until a smooth, creamy mixture is achieved.

Product installation:

• Wet the entire surface with water, but avoid letting water pool in the bolt holes.
• Pour the grout immediately after mixing. It is possible to pour the grout into the bolt holes first, then pour it into the machine base afterwards.
• It is essential to ensure that all air bubbles in the mortar are removed.
• When pouring grout into the machine base or beneath the base plate, ensure that pressure is maintained to keep the grout flowing continuously. Ensure that the formwork is securely erected and watertight.
• To achieve optimal expansion, the grout should be poured as quickly as possible.

Maintenance:

• Keep the exposed surface area of the mortar as small as possible and protect the mortar from premature water loss using standard curing methods.
• A minimum curing time of 3 days is required for exposed plaster surfaces.
• The minimum application temperature is 10°C. If the application temperature is below 20°C, the setting time and strength will be slower.

Toilet:

• Rinse tools thoroughly with water immediately after use. Hardened mortar can only be removed by mechanical means.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Occupational safety and health: Appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, should be worn when using this product. It may cause allergic reactions upon contact with eyes, skin, or mucous membranes. Ecology: Do not dispose of into water sources or soil.

Important note

TPI Grout 40 Because it has a cement base, it is alkaline. Care should be taken to minimize direct contact with skin. If the product gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and consult a doctor.
