Powder Solutions Postmix and Grout Additives
Grout Aid is a black box blend of additives for manufacturing cementitious pourable grouts. Blended with cement and sand, it produces a highly fluid, shrinkage compensated grout with little or no bleed.
Grout Aid is a black box additive for manufacturing cementitious pourable grouts. It is a proprietary powder blend of additives, formulated to be added to cement and sand to produce a shrinkage compensated, cementitious pourable grout.
Because every additive needed is already in the blend, Grout Aid saves having to purchase small lot additives. Everything is included, ready to blend with sand and cement.
A shrinkage compensated grout is formulated to offset the shrinkage that normally occurs as a cementitious material hardens, so it stays in full contact with the surfaces around it.
Grout made with Grout Aid can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
Blend Grout Aid with cement and clean, dried fine sand to make a fluid, shrinkage compensated pourable grout. Grout Aid is typically dosed at 50kg per tonne of powder.
A typical mix design is:
| Component | Typical proportion |
|---|---|
| Cement | 35 to 40% |
| Sand | 55 to 60% |
| Grout Aid | 5% |
This mix design is indicative only. Cement and sand contents may vary depending on the properties you need, so confirm your formulation with trials and speak to our technical support team before going into production.
Refer to the Grout Aid Safety Data Sheet, available on request, for full instructions. Wear suitable PPE, including gloves and goggles, when handling.
Grout Aid is supplied in 25kg paper sacks on 1000kg pallets. Store it in dry conditions and avoid contact with water. When stored correctly, it has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture.
