Crocodile GM Grout

Application Instruction

Surface Preparation:

1. Ensure the substrate is structurally sound.
2. Clean the surface thoroughly with water, removing all loose concrete, oil, and grease.
3. Clean the base plate and bolts, ensuring they are free from oil, deteriorated paint, and grease. Provide adequate ventilation for air flow.
4. Construct formwork securely, ensuring it is robust and sealed against leaks using appropriate sealants. Verify the formwork for leaks before grouting.
5. Pre-soak the grouting area with clean water to achieve a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition. There should be no standing water before pouring the grout. For additional surface preparation guidance, refer to ICRI Guide 310.2R.

Mixing Ratio:

Water : Product = 15% by weight

3.75 liters of water per 25 kg bag

Application

1. Ensure the concrete surface is saturated with water but free of standing water at the time of application.
2. Pour the mixed Crocodile GM Grout into the formwork. For optimal performance, complete each pour within 30 minutes and keep the thickness per pour to a maximum of 50 mm.
3. Pour from one side only to prevent air entrapment.
4. Protect the freshly grouted area from vibrations, heat, or rapid temperature changes for the first 24 hours.

Tool Cleaning

Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.

Estimated Coverage:

• 1 bag (25 kg) of Crocodile GM Grout covers approximately 0.014 m³
• 72 bags (25 kg each) of Crocodile GM Grout cover approximately 1.00 m³

Recommendation

• High ambient temperatures will accelerate the product's setting time. In cases of high-water temperature and extreme heat, consider using chilled water for mixing.
• Do not exceed the recommended water content. Excessive water will lead to reduced mechanical properties (e.g., lower compressive and flexural strength) and increased shrinkage.
• Before application, ensure the substrate is strong and prepared according to specified standards.
• Each pour of Crocodile GM Grout must have a minimum thickness of 10 mm.
• After pouring, cure the grout surface with water for at least 3-7 days.
• Crocodile GM Grout is a rapid strength developing product and is sensitive to moisture. High moisture during storage can shorten the product's shelf life.
• Recommended operating temperature: between 5°C and 35°C

Caution

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, dust mask, safety glasses, etc.
• Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling dust.
• In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry, and shaded place at temperatures between 0 - 35°C.
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• Product shelf life is 6 months from the manufacturing date.
