LIMITATIONS

Use SikaGrout®-214 IN S for grouting only, do not use SikaGrout®-214 IN S for patch repair work or overlay in unconfined spaces etc. ▪ Ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking during placing and curing. ▪ Use chilled water for mixing in case of high ambient temperature. Use hot water for mixing in case of very low ambient temperature. ▪ Depending on requirements and site conditions the addition of dry, single size and clean aggregates is possible. Trials are recommended to confirm suitability of aggregates to be used. ▪ For large bedding holes and higher gaps, duly washed coarse aggregates of size 6 mm down may be mixed with SikaGrout®-214 IN S in the proportion of grout : aggregate= 2 : 1 (by weight). ▪ ▪ Avoid application in direct sun and/or strong wind Do not add water under or over recommended dosage. ▪ ▪ Apply only to sound, prepared substrate. Do not add additional water during the surface finishing as this may cause discolouration and cracking. ▪ ▪ Protect freshly applied material from freezing and▪ Keep exposed surfaces to a minimum.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS SUBSTRATE QUALITY / PRE-TREATMENT

Concrete, grout, stone: The substrate shall be thoroughly clean, free from dust, loose material, surface contamination and materials which reduce bond or prevent suction or wetting by the grout. Delaminated, weak, damaged and deteriorated concrete and where necessary sound concrete shall be removed by suitable means.The concrete “pull off” tensile strength should be ≥ 1.0 MPa. The concrete substrates should be pre-soaked with clean water continuously for 2–6 hours to ensure a saturated surface dry condition throughout the operation. Immediately before pouring grout remove all excess or standing water from within any formwork. Steel, iron: Clean, free from oil or grease, rust and scale etc. The substrate should be prepared by suitable mechanical preparation techniques such as high pressure water jetting, breakers, blast cleaning, scrabbles, etc. MIXING SikaGrout®-214 IN S can be mixed with a low speed (< 500 rpm) hand drill mixer to avoid entraining too much air. Mix only full bags for best results. Pour around 80 to 90% of the recommended water in a suitable mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly at least for 3 minutes adding balance water within the mixing time to the maximum specified amount to adjust the grout to the required consistency and flow properties. Do not mix more grout, which cannot be used within pot life. Do not add extra water.

CURING TREATMENT Keep visible exposed grout surfaces to a minimum. Protect the fresh material from premature drying using appropriate curing method e.g. curing compound, moist textile membrane, polythene sheet etc.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.
