Flo-Grout CR

Free flow non-shrink grout for post tensioned cables and anchors

DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Flo-Grout CR is a pre-packed powder consisting of
selected cement, admixtures and expansive material. Colour: Grey
Flo-Grout CR reduces the water demand at the desired Flow:
flow, producing high strength grout with low permeability ASTM C939
and excellent bond to steel. The low permeability grout Initial 22 ± 2 sec
produced will reduce the ingress of harmful agents and will @ 30 min after (re-mixing) 23 ± 2 sec
protect the steel from corrosion.
≥ 20 MPa @ 1 day
Compressive strength:
APPLICATIONS ≥ 45 MPa @ 7 days
ASTM C109/109M
≥ 50 MPa @ 28 days
Flo-Grout CR is ideally designed as free flow grouting in Flexural strength:
post tensioned cables used in bridges, deck ducts, etc. > 5 MPa @ 28 days
ASTM C348
It is also suitable for use in cable ducts and pre-stressed
structural elements. Fresh wet density: 2.0 ± 0.1 g/cm³

In addition, Flo-Grout CR can be used in rock bolt anchoring, Bleeding:

Nil
cable anchors, grouting micropiles and forepoles, as well ASTM C940
as retaining wall tie backs.
Fresh state height change:
Up to +2%
ASTM C940
ADVANTAGES
Hardened state height change:
Up to +0.3%
» A non-shrink grout which is compensated for shrinkage ASTM C1090
and settlement in the plastic stage.
Setting time:
» An extremely low permeability grout at low water to
ASTM C191
cement ratio.
Initial set 6 - 8 hr
» Reduces the ingress of harmful substances.
Final set 18 hr
» High bond to steel.
» High initial and ultimate strength.
Note: Typical properties @ 7.5 litre per 25 kg @ 25oC.
» Chloride and hydrogen free.
Compressive strength @ 1 day is under restrain.
» Flo-Grout CR can be supplied with an Anti-corrosion
Compressive strength @ 7 & 28 days is under wet cure
impregnating additive.
@ 25oC.
Flexural strength @ 28 days is under wet cure @ 25oC.
STANDARDS

Flo-Grout CR complies with standard requirements of: MIXING

» ASTM C1107-02, Type C To ensure proper mixing, a mechanically powered mixer or

» ASTM C1107-14a, and drill fitted with suitable paddle should be used.
» EN 447.
25 kg of Flo-Grout CR should be added slowly to 7.25 - 8.00
METHOD OF USE litre of water and mixed continuously for 5 minutes with
speed between 500 - 600 rpm until a uniform consistency
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION is obtained.

» Sufficient materials should be available on site to Note: For optimum flow, Flo-Grout CR may need
conditioning before mixing in very hot or cold climate
ensure continuous grouting.
» Cables should be carefully cleaned prior to grouting. conditions, also chilled or warm water is recommended to
