SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean sound and free from oil, grease, laitance and loose particles. Metal surfaces should also be clean and free of rust, oil, grease and contaminants.
The prepared areas should be flooded with water prior to the placement of ABAGROUT-HR200 before the grout is placed. All free water should be released from the area to be grouted. There should be NO standing water present when the grout is placed.
MIXING
ABAGROUT-HR200 should be mixed using a suitable mixer. For flowable consistency use a band drill and paddle with a speed of <400 R.P.M. For large works use a high shear vane grout mixer. (Drum mixers are not recommended).
The entire contents of the bag should be added to the pre-measured (2.250-3.000 liters) water while mixing. It is recommended to use minimum water that is enough for achieving flowable mixture and should prevent from adding extra water.
DO NOT add more than the maximum water content.
APPLICATION
Ensure the substrate is prepared according to the manufactures recommendations.
Grouted free surface should be limited to 10cm. It is recommended to prevent grouting when weather is windy and also prevent from direct sunshine.
NO free water should be present in the area to be grouted. Ensure that there are sufficient air release holes for entrained air to escape.
Mortar should be continuously poured, from one side only, until the gap is completely filled. Maintain continuous head of grout when pouring.
CURING
It is necessary to cure exposed areas of grout with humidified method for at least 7 days.
