General Purpose Non-Shrink Class A Cementitious Grout.
RLA PENAFLOW PANEL GROUT is a Class A construction grout based on a blend of Portland cement, high-quality graded aggregates, and additives, which control expansion whilst the grout is in a plastic state.
All prepared areas must be saturated with water for 4 hours before grouting.
This will reduce the porosity of the substrate. Before grouting, ensure all excess water is removed, all holes must be free from water, and no puddles of water are present.
If grouting under base plates, it is imperative that bleed holes or venting holes are provided (this will eliminate pressure build-up in a confined area)
The formwork to be constructed must be leakproof and watertight. To achieve this, it is recommended that foam rubber strips or a suitable sealant such as polyurethane or silicone be used underneath the formwork.
The formwork should be constructed, which will allow and ensure a grout head is maintained on the side above the level of the underside at the base plate. The formwork should allow for gravity flow of grout with a suitable grout head allowing for a continuous flow between the base plate and the concrete substrate.
To ensure ease of formwork removal, the formwork should be coated with form oil or release oil before grouting.
RLA PENAFLOW PANEL GROUT is ready to use, simply requiring the addition of water; Cold water is best to be used when mixing. Keep RLA PENAFLOW PANEL GROUT in a cool environment.
RLA PENAFLOW PANEL GROUT must be mixed with a mechanical mixer with a high shear mixer or a suitable drum mixer that creates a forced action mixing. An electric drill with a spiral mixing paddle is ideal for smaller quantity mixing. The speed drill should be approx. 500-600 rpm. DO NOT MIX BY HAND. Always add the grout powder to the pre-measured water.
| Use | Water |
|---|---|
| Dry Pack/Stiff Grout | 2.7-2.9 litres /20kg bag |
| Plastic/Trowellable Grout | 3.0-3.4 litres /20kg bag |
| Flowable/Pourable Grout | 3.6-4.0 litres /20kg bag |
Do not add additional water, as grout will segregate and bleed, affecting performance.
The selected water level should be accurately measured and added to a suitable mixing container. Add the powder (grout) to the water and mix for 3-5 minutes until a consistent homogeneous mix is obtained.
Do not add additional water other than specified above. Discard any grout that has stiffened or is unworkable.
