• Shelf life: Up to 12 months in original, unopened packaging.

Advantages of SikaGrout 212 Fluid

• High Mechanical Strength: Ensures excellent durability and stability under load.
• Easy Application: Ready to use, only requires water for mixing, and is easy to pour.
• Controlled Expansion: The formula minimizes shrinkage, reducing the risk of cracking and delamination.
• Versatile: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, even under dynamic load.
• Concrete Compatibility: Composition compatible with concrete structures, reducing behavioral differences between materials.

Application and Precautions

• Surface Preparation: Ensure a clean, particle-free, grease-free, and dust-free substrate for better adhesion.
• Mixing: Mix with water as per manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid excess water, which may affect mechanical properties.
• Application: Pour directly into cavities or around elements to be sealed, taking care to remove air bubbles.
• Curing: Take measures to keep the grout moist during the initial days to ensure optimal set and minimize shrinkage.

Technical Characteristics of SikaGrout 212 Fluid

Compressive Strength:

• After 1 day: Approximately 20 MPa
• After 7 days: Approximately 50 MPa
• After 28 days: Approximately 65 MPa
  These high values ensure excellent load-bearing capacity for heavy equipment and structures.

Controlled Expansion:

• Expands during initial setting to counteract shrinkage and provide a complete, homogeneous seal.

Consistency:

• Fluid to plastic grout: Adjustable based on water quantity used, facilitating void filling and adhesion to structures.

Consumption: Approximately 2 kg/m² per millimeter of applied thickness.

Density:

• Mix density: Approximately 2.2 kg/L

Setting and Hardening Time:

• Initial Setting Time: Between 3 to 5 hours (depending on ambient temperature).
• Full Curing: Achieved in 28 days for maximum mechanical performance.

Adhesion to Substrate:

• Strong adhesion to prepared concrete surfaces, preventing detachment and ensuring stability under mechanical loads.

Application Temperature:

• Recommended range between +5°C and +30°C.
• In high temperatures, maintain product moisture to prevent overly rapid setting.

Pot Life:

• Must be applied within 30 to 60 minutes after mixing, depending on temperature and humidity conditions.

Modulus of Elasticity:

• High, ensuring good compatibility with concrete structures and allowing for deformation absorption without cracking.

Standards and Certifications:

• Compliant with sealing and anchoring standards for structural applications in concrete, guaranteeing work quality and safety.

Additional Properties

• Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils and moderate industrial chemicals, ideal for industrial settings.
• Compatibility with Steel and Concrete: Bonds effectively to steel and concrete surfaces, allowing for a strong and durable connection.

Precautions and Storage Conditions

• Storage: Keep in a dry area at a temperature between +5°C and +35°C, away from moisture.
• Shelf Life: Up to 12 months in original, unopened packaging when properly stored.
