5.0 Instructions for use
Ratio of water to material is 0.26 ~ 0.40, and it can be slightly adjusted according to different
parts of grouting.
First add 80% ~ 90% of the actual mix of water into blender. Then starting blender, equally add
all grouting agent with all time stirring. After use rapid stirring for 3 min; add remaining 10% ~
20% of water, stirring is continued for 2 min.
Grouting time from stirring to duct depends on the temperature, usually 30 min. to 1 hr.
Continual stirring is recommended before and during grouting to maintain uniformity and fluidity.
Grouting should be used with piston pressure or vacuum pumps and pressure must be greater
than 0.7 MPa.
Grouting temperature should be maintained between 5º C ~ 25º C, otherwise measures should
be taken to meet the conditions.
6.0 Packaging
PGA is available in the paper plastic compound bag packing, with a bag 25 kg or 50 kg.
7.0 Storage
It has a shelf life of 6 month if kept in a dry and cool environment in its original packing. Avoid direct
sunlight, and pay attention to anti moisture and damaged packaging. And it should be placed on the
pallet off the ground in a dry and ventilated room.
8.0 Precautions
Stirrer speed should be not less than 1000 rpm. It is not allowed to add additional water to enhance
fluidity due to construction delay. Under the condition of hot climate, the construction process should
be chosen at low temperature of the day, such as at night. Under the condition of cold weather the
construction should be carried out according to winter construction standard.
