Intraplast Z
Injection Aid

Description Intraplast Z is a ready to use injection aid in powder form. It is non toxic,
non flammable and does not contain chlorides or other ingredients of

corrosive nature. Intraplast Z causes the cement mixture to expand before
setting. By introducing micro bubbles into the wet mix, volume expansion

and increased fluidity results without segregation. Intraplast Z reduces the
separation of water (bleeding) from the mixture. It prevents premature
setting and allows a reduction in the amount of gauging water.

Uses Intraplast Z is a patented special product for the grouting of
prestressed cable ducts, bearing plate, tunnel linings and rock and soil

anchoring. The use of Intraplast Z with the grouting mixture has the
following advantages:
- Improved fluidity.
- Good strength and adhesion properties.
- Increased cohesion.
- Volume expansion in the wet state.
- Protective action against corrosion of prestressing wires.
- Durable and dense filling of all cavities.
- Increased frost resistance.
- Prolonged workability.

Application Intraplast Z is dosed at 1-2 % by weight of cement. Depending on the
type of mixer and purpose of the injection, the mixing time and the water/
cement ratio must be in accordance with the requirements. For prestressed
concrete work where batching the mixture is done in the usual mechanical
way. A mixing time of 4 minutes together with a water/ cement ratio of 0.38-
0.42 is found to give best results. Generally the most suitable mixing

sequence is the water/cement/Intraplast Z
It is not recommended to add sand for prestressed concrete work.

Important Intraplast Z is essentially a product for use by specialised enterprises
working in the field of applied prestressing and grouting techniques.
It is know that the properties of the injection aid can be significantly
influenced by the mixing procedure, cement properties, adding of
water, and temperatures. For important work it is necessary to
determine the most suitable procedure by means of preliminary site
tests. Cement containing fly ash is not suitable for use with

Intraplast Z.
