DESCRIPTION
Deltagrout CG cementitious grout is a ready to use dry powder,
blends of Portland cement, graded fillers and chemical additives which impart controlled expansion in the
plastic state whilst minimizing water demand. The low water demand ensures high early strength. The
graded filler is designed to assist uniform mixing and produce a consistent
grout.
USES
Deltagrout CG is used where it is essential to eliminate shrinkage for completely filling the void between
a base plate and a substrate. Such an application would be the grouting of a stanchion base plate. It can
also be used for anchoring a wide range of fixings.
ADVANTAGES
Compensate shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state
Non metallic iron contents to cause staining
Pre-packaged material overcomes potential on-site batching variations
Develops high early strength without the use of chlorides
High ultimate strength and low permeability which ensure the durability of the hardened grout.
Placing
Pour the grout within 15 minutes of mixing to gain full benefit of the expansion process; the grout can be
placed in thickness up to 100 mm in a single pour when used as an under-plate grout. For thicker sections
it is necessary to fill out Deltagrout CG with well-graded 10mm, silt free aggregate to minimize
exothermal process when the grout sets, with the proportion of aggregate and grout not more than 1:1.
Continuous grout flow is essential, thus sufficient grout must be prepared before starting. The time taken
to pour a batch must be regulated to the time taken to prepare the next one. Pouring should be from one
side of the void to eliminate any air or pre-soaking water becoming trapped under the base plate.
SUPPLY
Deltagrout CG is supplied in 25 kg plastic bag.
YIELD
The approximate yield per 25 kg bag is depending on the consistency of the grout.
Yield for trowel able grout is 12 litres, and yield for flow able grout is 13.25 litres.
STORAGE
Deltagrout CG has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry condition and stored in sealed bags. If
stored in high temperature and high humidity locations the shelf life will be reduced.
