CTS Construction Grout
Contractors choose CTS Construction Grout for structural and non-structural applications when looking for a premium, multi-purpose, non-shrink construction grout. CTS Construction Grout is non-metallic and conforms to ASTM C-1107 and the Army Corps of Engineers CRD C621.

DESCRIPTION
CTS Construction Grout is a versatile, non-shrink grout that can be mixed to any consistency from damp pack to fluid. CTS Construction Groutis a high quality blend of portland cement, non-shrink additives, and specialty sand. When mixed with water, CTS Construction Grout produces a durable, high strength material that can be used for grouting and general concrete applications on indoor and outdoor projects.

APPLICATIONS
CTS Construction Grout is used for structural and non-structural applications including precision grouting, base plates, precast components, machinery and equipment bases, anchor bolts, concrete repair, keyway joints, load bearing pads, and other non-shrink applications.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Concrete surfaces must be clean, sound, and free from any materials that may inhibit bond such as oil, dirt, asphalt, sealing compounds, acids, wax, and loose debris. When bonding is important, all surfaces should be mechanically abraded by scarifying, grinding, shot-blasting or other approved methods. Placement area must be between 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Saturate the substrate with clean water for a minimum of 4 hours and preferably 24 hours before grout placement. Remove any standing water or puddles before placement of the material. Forms: Construct forms to be watertight and non-absorbent. Joints should be sealed with polyurethane foam, caulk, or putty. Forms to be coated or lined with bond-breaker or form-release. Provide adequate vent holes to avoid air entrapment. Provide a head placement of 45 degree angle to facilitate placement for grout pour. Build forms 1” higher than bottom of plate and 1-3” between side of plate and form.

MIXING
Mix with a mechanical mortar mixer or an electric drill with a paddle device if possible. Add potable water to bucket and mechanical mixer first, then add dry grout material while mixing. Adjust water temperature to maintain mixed grout temperature from 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Mix for a minimum of 4 to 5 minutes. Working time is approximately 15-20 minutes. Consistency of the grout is dependent on jobsite variables such as ambient temperature, water temperature, product temperature and mixing method. Use the following mix water guidelines: Plastic consistency – 5.0 quarts Flowable consistency – 5.5 quarts Fluid consistency – 5.75 quarts Adjust the water to achieve the desired flow consistency. Do not exceed 6.25 quarts of water per 50-lb bag. Adding too much water may induce bleeding and segregation. Gauge fluid consistency within 25 to 35 seconds with ASTM C939 Flow Cone Method. For deep pours over 2”, 3/8“ pea gravel may be added but only after consulting with the CTS Cement Technical Service Department. Do not add any additional dry materials such as cement, sand, additives or admixtures.

PLACEMENT
Place grout continuously into forms in one placement. CTS Construction Grout may be placed by pump. Limit the amount of vibration during grout placement to reduce potential segregation. CTS Construction Grout must fill all areas and stay in contact with load bearing area. Remove forms once grout has achieved final set. All machinery near grout placement should be shut down for 24 hours.

CURE
Use a curing compound in accordance with ASTM C309 upon final set or wet cure with clean potable water on open surfaces for three days. The final color of CTS Construction Grout is gray.

YIELD & PACKAGING
CTS Construction Grout is available in 50-lb (22.7-kg) bags. One 50-lb bag will yield 0.44 cubic feet at a flowable grout consistency. Coverage may vary due to jobsite conditions.

TEMPERATURE
CTS Construction Grout may be applied in temperatures ranging from 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C).
