Yield
1 bag yields approximately 12.3 litres of mortar
MIXING
SikaGrout®-295 can be mixed with a low speed (<500 rpm) hand drill mixer to avoid entraining too much air. Mix only full bags for best results.
Pour the minimum recommended water in a suitable mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly at least for 3 minutes adding additional water if necessary to the maximum specified amount to adjust the grout to the required consistency.
APPLICATION
Remove excess water from substrate surface e.g. with clean sponge, until surface is dark matt in appearance without glistening (saturated surface dry) . Surface pores and pits shall not contain water. Let the grout stand for ~5 minutes to release air entrained by mixing. Pour grout into the prepared openings using a sufficient pressure head to maintain a continuous flow of grout. Ensure air displaced by the mortar can easily escape. For optimum use of the expansion properties apply the grout within ~10 minutes after mixing.
CURING TREATMENT
Keep visible exposed grout surfaces to a minimum. Protect the fresh material from premature drying using appropriate curing method e.g. curing compound, moist textile membrane, polythene sheet etc.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.
