About this product

weber.cem grout is a premixed non-shrink cementitious grout developed for applications where a cost-efficient grout with adequate flow and strength is required. weber.cem grout is designed primarily as a pourable grout but can also be used at a plastic or dry pack consistency.


Features and Benefits

  • General purpose grout suitable for use over a temperature range of between 5°C and 25°C.
  • Can be pumped, poured, trowelled or 'dry-packed'.
  • Good flow properties.
  • Can be applied in thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm.
  • Factory blended to eliminate on-site errors.
  • Conforms to ASTM C827 Early Volume Change of Cementitious Mixturesproducing a non-shrink grout.

Technical data


Constraints

weber.cem grout must only be used in confined situations, e.g. under baseplates, in holes etc.


Preparation

All surfaces should be clean and sound. Concrete surfaces must be free from any contamination including oil, grease, laitance and dust - and for maximum bond the surface should be roughened and presoaked with clean water.

Immediately prior to grouting, remove surface water including that in bolt holes or recesses.

Metal surfaces must be free from rust, scale, oil or grease but removable metal shims should be lightly oiled.

Bolt holes must be blown free of dust, water or any loose material.

Formwork should be well sealed to prevent leakage.


Mixing

Mixing and placement can be carried out between +5°C and +25°C. In service, weber.cem grout will perform similarly to other cementitious mixes based on Portland cement in the temperature range of –20°C to +150°C.

Mixing should be carried out in a proprietary grout mixer or by using a medium speed drill (650 rpm) with an MR4-type helical attachment.

Do not use more than the maximum stated water adddition.

Water Addition

To obtain the consistency appropriate for a particular application, use the water addition detailed opposite.


  Water addition (litres) Yield (litres)
Dry-pack mortar 3 12.5
Pourable 3 - 3.5 13
Flowable 4 - 4.5 13.5

Application

When pouring, the area to be grouted should be shuttered and a header box used to maintain a grout head of 150 - 200 mm during the pour.

Machine mixing is recommended to achieve continuous pouring. For large applications weber.cem grout should be placed by pump, having been formulated to give a 30 minute working time.

Continuous grout flow is essential and sufficient grout and water should be available to be mixed to ensure there is no disruption during placement.

Where the thickness of grout is 100 - 200 mm, the grout may be bulked out with clean single sized aggregate by mixing in up to 10 kg of a 6 mm rounded aggregate per 25 kg bag. However, other weber products are available, which may be more suitable. Please contact our Customer Services Department.

Avoid leaving unconfined areas of grout proud around bearings etc.

The grout around the edges of baseplates must be finished flush with the sides by cutting the grout while still green after stripping formwork.

Cracking may result in areas where there is no restraint.
