Crocodile HS Grout

Application Instruction

Substrate Preparation

• Ensure, the substrate must be strong and firm.
• Substrate must be cleaned by water. Free from oil, grease or any loosely adherent material.
• Wet the substrate several hours prior to grouting, the area of cleaned foundation must be flooded with fresh water. Immediately before grouting takes place, any free water should be removed.
• Base plate and bolt must be clean and free from oil, grease scale or paint. Air pressure relief holes should be provided to allow venting of any isolated high spots.
• The formwork should be constructed to be leakproof. This can be achieved between joints by using sealant.

Mixing Ratio

Water : Crocodile HS Grout = 13%

Water 3.25 Liters : Crocodile HS Grout 1 bag (25 kgs)

Mixing

• Use clean water or drinking water with the amount as the above recommendation.
• Prepare 90% water of total required quantity into mixer. Turn on the mixer and slowly pour Crocodile HS Grout. Stir for 2 minutes.
• Add 10% of retention water and mix for 30 seconds. It is recommended to use a mechanical stirrer with speeds between 500-1,000 rpm.
• Coarse aggregate (if needed) should be cleaned, before adding to mix.
• Do not add other additives.
• Should be used within 30 minutes. Do not add more water to the mixed material paste.

Application Method

• The area of the cleaned foundation must be wet with water until saturated.
• Using the mixed Crocodile HS Grout within 30 minutes to gain full benefit of the expansion process. Maximum thickness must be not over 50 millimeter in a single layer. Coarse aggregate (size 3/8 inch or 9-10 millimeter) can be added up to 30% by weight (7-8 kg aggregate per 25 kg grout) when formwork depth more than 50 millimeter.
• Wet or moist the casting places after set for 3-7 days.
• Protect the area from vibration, heat, and temperature shock during the first 24 hours.

Estimate Coverage

• Crocodile HS grout 1 bag (25 kg) / 0.014 cubic meter
• Crocodile HS grout 72 bag (25 kg) / 1.00 cubic meter

Tool Cleaning

• Cleaning tool by water

Recommendations              

• High environmental temperature might shorten bucket life and open time of products. Using cool water to prevent this case.
• Do not add more water. Excess water will affect the mechanical properties such as the decreasing of compressive strength and flexural strength. But the shrinkage will increase.
• Ensure the substrate mute be strong and firm.
• Minimum thickness of Crocodile HS Grout must be more than 10 millimeters per layer.
• Wet curing Immediately after completion of work. Allow curing 3-7 days.
• Crocodile HS Grout is a moisture sensitive product. Moisture will degrade the product’s shelf life.

Caution 

• Recommend using rubber gloves, dust masks, eye glass and personal safety equipment.
• Apply with good ventilation. Do not inhale product.
• In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
• Keep away from children.

Storage 

• Keep in a cool, dry area, storage temperature should be 0 - 35^oC.
• Place with prevent direct sunlight.
• Shelf life for 6 months since manufactured date.
