LQS GROUT 60 – Cement-based grout, shrinkage compensation

APPLICATIONS

LQS Grout 60 is suitable for use in:

• Machine bases, columns, and pedestals
• Precast concrete panels and beams
• Bridge bearing pads
• Anchor bolts and beam connections
• Foundation bases
• Repair works

ADVANTAGES

• Easy to use – only requires mixing with water
• High early strength allows quick installation of equipment and structural elements
• High final strength ensures long-term durability under static and dynamic loads
• Excellent flowability for easy placement into complex voids
• Non-segregating and non-shrinking – ensures compact filling
• Non-toxic, does not increase chloride content in structures
• Resistant to impact and vibration
• Can be pumped using suitable grout pumps

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation:

• Concrete surfaces must be clean, sound, and free from oil, grease, loose particles, and contaminants
• Metal surfaces (iron, steel) must be free of scale, rust, and grease
• Absorbent surfaces should be fully saturated with water, but no standing water should remain

Mixing Procedure:

• Gradually add the powder into a measured amount of water depending on the desired consistency
• Mix using a low-speed electric drill with a mixing paddle (max. 500 rpm) for at least 3 minutes until a smooth, lump-free grout is achieved

Application:

• Pre-wet the substrate thoroughly, but ensure no standing water remains in bolt holes
• Pour the grout immediately after mixing
• It is possible to fill the bolt holes first, followed by the base plate
• Ensure all entrapped air is released from the grout
• When grouting machine bases or bearing plates, maintain continuous pressure to allow consistent grout flow
• Formwork must be rigid and watertight
• For optimal expansion performance, apply the grout as quickly as possible after mixing

Curing:

• Keep exposed surfaces moist and protect from premature drying using standard curing methods
• Minimum curing time is 3 days for exposed grout surfaces
• Minimum application temperature: 10°C
• If applied below 20°C, setting time and strength development may be slower

CLEANING:

• Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with water
• Once hardened, the product can only be removed mechanically

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Do not apply LQS Primer FS on surfaces with rising moisture
• Do not substitute the primer with another product
• The primer layer must be applied evenly and thoroughly

SAFETY INFORMATION:

• Personal protection: Wear appropriate protective clothing, goggles, gloves, and a mask when using the product. May cause irritation or minor burns upon contact with skin or eyes
• Ecology: Do not discharge into water bodies or soil
• Transport: Not classified as hazardous
• Alkalinity Warning:
  LQS Grout 60 is cement-based and alkaline in nature. Avoid direct skin contact. If contact occurs with eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention
