ECOLOGY, HEALTH AND SAFETY
User must read the most recent corresponding Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) before using any products. The SDS
provides information and advice on the safe handling,
storage and disposal of chemical products and contains
physical, ecological, toxicological and other
safety-related data.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE QUALITY / PRE-TREATMENT
Concrete
The concrete must be structurally sound, thoroughly
clean, free from oil, grease, dust, loose material, surface
contamination and materials which will impair
the grout flow or reduce adhesion strength.
Laitance, delaminated, weak, damaged and deteriorated
concrete and where necessary unsound concrete
must be removed by suitable mechanical preparation
as directed by the engineer or supervising
officer.
Any pockets or holes for structural fixings must also
be cleaned of all debris.
Shutter Formwork
Where formwork is to be used, all formwork must be
of adequate strength, treated with release agent and
sealed to prevent leakage of pre-wetting water and
grout.
Ensure formwork includes outlets for removal of the
pre-soaking water or use vacuum extraction equipment
to remove water.
For manual grout application, a header box or hopper
must be constructed on one side of the formwork
so that a minimum grout head of 150200 mm
can be maintained during the grouting operation.
MIXING
IMPORTANT
Do not add more water than the maximum specified.
IMPORTANT
Do not use continuous mixing equipment.
IMPORTANT
For large bedding holes and higher gaps or based on
some specific customer requirements, duly washed
coarse aggregates of size 6 mm down may be mixed
with SikaGrout-214 IN in the proportion of grout : aggregate
= 2 : 1 (by weight). Trials are recommended to
confirm suitability of aggregates to be used.
Electric single or double paddle mixer
1. Pour around 80 to 90 % of recommended amount of
clean water into a clean mixing container.
2. Stir water slowly with a spiral paddle (< 500 rpm).
Add the complete bag of powder into the water
while stirring slowly.
3.
Add balance quantity of water and mix continuously
for 3 minutes to achieve a uniform and lump free
smooth consistency.
4.
Wait for 12 minutes to allow the entrapped air to
escape.
5.
Grout mixer
IMPORTANT
Product must be mixed using suitable grout mixing
equipment combined with agitator for large volume
mixing.
IMPORTANT
Volume capacity of equipment must be proportionally
greater than the volume of material being mixed.
Note: Equipment trials must be considered to make
sure product can be mixed satisfactory before full
project application.
Pour the minimum water ratio in the correct proportion
into the grout mixer.
1.
While stirring the water, slowly add the powder to
the water.
2.
Add more water within the mixing time up to the
maximum allowed until the required consistency is
achieved.
3.
Mix continuously for a minimum of 4 minutes. For
larger mixes the mixing time must be extended to
approximately 6 minutes or as necessary until the
grout achieves a lump free smooth consistency.
4.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Do not use SikaGrout-214 IN for patch repair work or
overlay in unconfined spaces etc.
IMPORTANT
Avoid application in direct sun and/or strong wind.
IMPORTANT
Protect freshly applied material from freezing and
frost.
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in
method statements, application manuals and working
instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual
site conditions.
Pre-wetting
The prepared concrete substrate must be thoroughly
saturated with clean water for a recommended minimum
2 hours before application of the grout.
The surface must not be allowed to dry within this
time.
Before application of the grout, all water must be removed
from within formwork, cavities or pockets
and the final surface must achieve a dark matt appearance
(saturated surface dry) without glistening.
Placing: Manual application
Apply the material within ~10 minutes after mixing
to take advantage of the expansion properties.
1.
Immediately after mixing, pour the mixed grout into
the header box or hopper ensuring continuous grout

flow during the complete grouting operation to avoid
trapping air.
Placing: Grout pump application
For large volume placement, grout pumps are recommended.
Equipment trials must be considered to ensure
product can be pumped satisfactory.
Surface finishing
IMPORTANT
Do not add additional water on the surface.
IMPORTANT
Do not over work the surface as this may cause surface
discolouration and cra cking.
Finish exposed grout surfaces to the required surface
texture as soon as the grout has started to stiffen.
1.
After the grout has initially hardened, remove formwork
and trim edges while concrete is green.
2.
Cold weather working
Consider storing bags in a warm environment and using
warm water to assist with achieving strength gain
and maintaining physical properties.
Hot weather working
Consider storing bags in a cool environment and using
cold water to assist with controlling the exothermic
reaction to reduce crac king and maintaining
physical properties.
CURING TREATMENT
Protect exposed grout surfaces after finishing from
premature drying and crac king by curing under water
for at least 72 hours. Keep exposed surfaces to a
minimum.
In cold weather, apply insulated blankets to maintain
a constant temperature to prevent surface damage
from freezing and frost.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water
immediately after use. Hardened material can only be
mechanically removed.
