Supplier specification
Rapid strength gain facilitates rapid installation and
operation of plant with a minimum shut down period.
Application Instructions
Foundation surface
The substrate surface must be free from oil, grease or any
loosely adherent materials. If the concrete surface is
defective or has laitance, I must be cut back to a sound
base. Bolts holes or fixing pockets must be blown clean of
any dirt or debris.
Chloride free.
Description
Conbextra HT is supplied as a ready to use powder. The
addition of a controlled amount of clean water produces a
free flowing grout. In addition the low water requirement
ensures high early strength and long term durability.
Pre-soaking
Several hours prior to grouting. The area of cleaned
foundation should be flooded with fresh water.
Immediately before grouting takes place, any free water
should be removed. Particular care should be taken to
blow out all bolt holes and pockets.

Conbextra HT is a free flowing grout.
This can be achieved by using foam rubber strip or mastic
sealant beneath the constructed formwork and between
joints.

Curing
Mixing
For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer
should be used. For quantities up to 50 kg a slow speed
drill fitted with a high shear paddle is suitable. Larger
quantities will require a high shear vane mixer. Do not
use a colloidal impeller mixer.
Cleaning
Conbextra HT should be removed from tools and
equipment with clean water immediately after use. Cured
material can be removed mechanically or with Fosroc Acid
Etch.
Limitations
Low temperature working
3.75 litres
4.5 litres
Placing
To achieve the grout within 10 minutes of mixing to gain
the full benefit of the expansion process.
Estimating
Supply
Yield

gloves, eye protection and respiratory protective equipment.
The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection.
In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water,
then cleanse with soap and water. In case of contact with
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek
medical advice.
If swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
