SikaGrout 328
Description

High performance, precision, grout with extended working time

SikaGrout 328 is a non-shrink, cementitious precision grout powered by ViscoCrete technology. This grout provides extended working time and exceptional physical performance at fluid consistency. SikaGrout 328 is non metallic and contains no chlorides. A structural, precision grout, SikaGrout 328 can be placed from fluid to dry pack over a temperature range of 40-95F. SikaGrout 328 meets the ASTM-C 1107 (Grade B & C) and Corps of Engineers Specification CRD-C621. Where to Use n Where exceptional one day and ultimate compressive strengths are required. n Applications requiring a pumpable grout. n Non-shrink grouting of machinery and equipment, base plates sole plates, precast panels, beams, columns and curtainwalls. n Applications where a non-shrink grout is needed for maximum effective bearing area to transfer optimum load. n For underwater application in conjunction with Sikament 100SC. Consult Technical Ser- vice for dosage information. Independent test data is available however on site testing is recommended to confirm performance under actual field conditions. n For grouting rebar, bolts, dowels and pins, etc. Advantages

will not stain or rust. CRD C-621 & ASTM C-1107 (Grade C). n Shows positive expansion. n SikaGrout 328 is USDA-approved. Approximately 0.44 cu. ft./bag at high flow. Multi-wall bags; 40 bags/pallet, 50 lbs. per bag.
Remove all dirt, oil, grease, and other bond-inhibiting materials by mechanical means. Anchor bolts to be grouted must be de-greased with suitable solvent. Concrete must be sound and roughened to promote mechanical adhesion. Prior to pouring, surface should be brought to a SSD (saturated surfacedry) condition. For pourable grout, construct forms to retain grout without leakage. Forms should be lined or coated with bond-breaker for easy removal. Forms should be sufficiently high to accommodate head of grout. Where grout-tight form is difficult to achieve, use SikaGrout 328 in dry pack consistency. Mechanically mix with a low speed drill (400-600 rpm) for at least 5 minutes using a Sika mixing paddle or a jiffy paddle. SikaGrout 328 can be mixed in an appropriately sized mortar mixer. Mixing should continue until a homogenous mixture is achieved. Product Extension: For deeper applications, SikaGrout 328 (plastic and flowable consistencies only) may be extended with 25 lbs. of 3/8 pea gravel. The aggregate must be non-reactive (Reference ASTM C1260, C227 and C289), clean, well-graded, saturated surface dry, have low absorption and high density, and comply with ASTM C33 size number 8 per Table 2. Add the pea gravel after the water and SikaGrout 328. Make sure all forming, mixing, placing, and clean-up materials are on hand. Add appropriate quantity of clean water to achieve desired flow. Add bag of powder to mixing vessel. Mix to a uniform consistency, minimum of 5 minutes. Ambient and material temperature should be as close as possible to 70F. If higher, use cold water; if colder, use warm water. Within 60 minutes after mixing, place grout into forms in normal manner to avoid air entrapment. Vibrate, pump, or ram grout as necessary to achieve flow or compaction. SikaGrout 328 must be con fined leaving minimum exposed surface. After grout has achieved final set, remove forms, trim or shape exposed grout shoulders to designed profile. SikaGrout 328 is an excellent grout for pumping, even at high flow. For pump recommendations, contact Technical Service. Wet cure for a minimum of 3 days or apply a curing compound which complies with ASTM C-309 on exposed surfaces. ambient and substrate temperature 45F and rising at time of application. application thickness: 1/2 in. n For application thicknesses of 6 inches or greater, consult Sikas Technical Service Department. n Do not use as a patching or overlay mortar or in unconfined areas. n Material must be placed within 60 minutes of mixing. n As with all cement based materials, avoid contact with aluminum to prevent adverse chemical reaction and possible product failure. Insulate potential areas of contact by coating aluminum bars, rails, posts etc. with an appropriate epoxy such as Sikadur 32 Hi-Mod.
