Sikacrete -114 AE is used for the structural repair of deteriorated concrete.
It is ideal for casting sections or members, where the volumes are required.
Large for conventional grouts, and too small and inaccessible for normal concreting applications.
A typical application is the re-profiling of damaged concrete members, using formwork.
Also suitable for base plate grouting where the thickness exceeds 75 millimeters.
Concrete surfaces should be clean, sound, and free from oil, grease, cement laitance, and all loosely adhering particles.
Absorbent surfaces should be saturated thoroughly with clean water.
Metal surfaces (iron and steel) should be free from scale, rust, oil, and grease. Dampen all concrete surfaces thoroughly with clean water prior to application.
Before pouring, however, let the mixed grout stand for 2 to 3 minutes after mixing with the mixing water to allow entrapped air to escape.
Maintain sufficient hydrostatic head to keep the product flowing.
Provide channels for the air to escape during grouting.
Protect from rain until the initial set has been achieved.
