Application

1. Preparation of Substrate

  • Substrate preparation has to be according EN 1504-10 part 7.
  • The substrate has to be free from dirt, grease, laitance, loose concrete, loose particles or layers which could adversely affect adhesion.
  • Remove all damaged concrete and prepare substrate by sand or grid blasting, high pressure water jetting, or other methods until base concrete is ex-posed, offering sufficient roughness (bond) and open pores.
  • The substrate must be pre-wetted with clean water until saturated. The substrate should be damp, but without free standing water.
  • The substrate must be frost-free and have a cohesion of minimum 1.5 MPa.

2. Mixing

  • The product has to be mixed using a suitable forced action mixer (400-600 rpm). The mixing head must be completely immersed in the powder.
  • Add 4/5 of the required quantity of water into the mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add the remaining quantity of water. The water content can be varied to obtain the desired consistency. Never use more than the maximum water quantity. Mix for an additional 2 minutes until a lump-free, homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  • The mixing time depends on the type of mixer. 4 minutes is the minimum.
  • The mixture must be allowed to rest to release air entrapped during mixing.
  • Once the grout is ready mixed, apply immediately. Do not prepare more material than can be used within the open time of the material.
  • When the grout starts to set, remix but never add more water.

3. Application

  • The material is always poured or pumped from one side or corner in one continuous application. A dense and non-absorbent formwork is necessary. To prevent air entrapment, sufficient ventilation holes must be provided.
  • Do not vibrate.
  • When grouting large areas, apply the grout by using worm/screw pumps.

4. Curing

  • After treatment has to be according EN 13670 in combination with DIN EN 1045-3.
  • In warm or windy conditions protect the applied material from dehydration by mist-spraying with clean water or protective tarpaulins until the initial set has taken place.
  • In cold conditions cover with insulated tarpaulin, polystyrene or other insulating material. Protect sur-faces against frost and rain until final set has taken place.
  • In cold, humid or unventilated areas it can be necessary to allow for a longer curing period, or to intro-duce forced air movement to avoid condensation. Never use dehumidifiers during the curing period or within 28 days after application.
  • Formwork should not be removed for at least 48hours.
  • The after-treatment should be at least 5 days.
  • The after-treatment should take place as soon as possible, at the latest when the material surface starts to set.
  • As an alternative to the conventional treatment methods, suitable curing agents can be used to prevent rapid water loss.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

  • Mixing and application equipment should be cleaned immediately with clean water. Hardened material needs to be removed mechanically.

6. Special remarks

  • Cementitious materials can lead to incompatibilities under certain conditions in combination with non-ferrous metals (such as aluminium, copper, zinc).
  • Low temperatures reduce flow and delay the early strength development. High temperatures accelerate the strength development and decrease the open time of the material.
  • Depending on geometry and application thickness, reinforcement steel can be necessary.
  • Lateral grouting overhang should be kept as low as possible (approx. 20-50mm).

Health and Safety

BETEC® 150 HS is a product based on cement and can therefore cause burns to skin and eyes, which should be protected during use. Wear gloves and protective eye shields. Wearing a dust mask is advised. Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately with clean water. Consult a doctor when irritation continues. If accidentally ingested, drink water and consult a doctor. Users must comply with all risk and safety phrases. MSDS’s can be obtained from GCP Germany GmbH. GISCODE ZP1.
