Plasticised expanding grout admixture

Uses
Properties
Cebex 100 is an admixture for cementitious grouts where

a reduced water/cement ratio and positive expansion is
required. Applications include bed grouting, duct grouting,
non-shrink infilling and jointing.

Advantages
Gaseous expansion system compensates for plastic

shrinkage and settlement in properly designed
cementitious grout.
Reduced water/cement ratio mixes in the grout mix

ensures low permeability and long term durability in
service.
Gives high grout fluidity with low water/cement ratio,

thus making placement or injection of the grout easy.
No metallic iron content to corrode and cause staining

or deterioration due to rust expansion in the grout.
Composition allows high early strength development

in grouts, without the use of chlorides.

Standards compliance
Cebex 100 is a suitable pre-stressing grout admixture
when complying with BS8110 Part 1, 1985, Section
8.9.4.6.
Description
Nil to BS5075
The plasticising action of Cebex
100 allows reduction of the
water/cement
ratio
of
cementitious
grouts
whilst
maintaining flow properties.
This gives improvement in
strength
and
long
term
durability when cured under
restraint.
Cebex
100
does
not
significantly affect the setting
times of cement based grouts.
The
controlled
positive
expansion in unset grouts
incorporating
Cebex
100
overcomes plastic settlement
when measured in accordance
with ASTM C-827.
An
unrestrained expansion of up to
4% is typical.
15 minutes to 2 hours.
o
Temperatures above 20 C may
slightly reduce these times.
Cebex 100 is compatible with
all types of Portland cement.
Cebex 100 may be used in
mixes containing certain other
Fosroc admixtures.
Consult
Fosroc for further information.
Specification clauses
Cebex 100 is supplied as a powder admixture. The

material is a combination of a plasticising agent and a gas
producing expansion medium. The plasticising agent
allows the use of a reduced water/cement ratio with
consequent increased strengths and durability.
The
expansive medium counteracts the natural settlement and
plastic shrinkage of the grout and aids stability and
cohesion.
Performance specification
All grouting (specify details and areas of application) must
be carried out with a cement based grout incorporating a
plasticised, expanding powder admixture. The admixture
must be iron-free and chloride-free and shall be added to
the grout in the proportions 225 g of admixture per 50 kg
of cement. The admixture shall provide an expansion of
up 4% in the plastic grout, by means of a gaseous system.
The admixture must be stored, handled and mixed strictly
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Sufficient restrained expansion is developed to ensure a

high degree of interfacial contact.
Technical Support
Supplier specification
Fosroc provides a technical advisory service for on-site

assistance and advice on admixture selection, evaluation
trials and dispensing equipment. Technical data and
guidance can be provided for a wide range of admixtures
and other products for fresh and hardened concrete.
All grouting (specify details and areas of application) must

be carried out using a cement based grout, incorporating
Cebex 100 manufactured by Fosroc and applied strictly in
accordance with the manufacturers technical data sheet.

Instructions for use
Estimating
Mixing
Packaging
For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer must

be used. For quantities up to 50 kg a slow speed drill fitted
with a high shear paddle is suitable. Larger quantities will
require a high shear vane mixer. It is essential that machine
mixing capacity and labour availability is adequate to enable
the grouting operation to be carried out continuously. This
may require the use of a holding tank with provision for
gentle agitation to maintain fluidity. The selected water
content should be accurately measured into the mixer.
Slowly add the cement (and sand if required) and Cebex
100. Mix continuously for 5 minutes, making sure that a
smooth even consistency is obtained.
Cebex 100 is supplied in tins of 227 gms and 5 kg.

Note: For grout, mortar or concrete mixes with an

Cebex 100 per 100 kg of cement.
Application
Effects of overdosing
Areas to be grouted should be prepared to ensure

substrates are clean, sound, and then pre-wetted. The
unrestrained surface area of the grout must be kept to a
minimum. Place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to
gain the full benefit of the expansion process. Adopt usual
placing or pumping procedures ensuring a continuous
operation.
Drastic over-dosing of Cebex 100 increases expansion and

may cause frothing.
Storage
Cebex 100 has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in dry store
in its original packaging. High temperature and humidity
storage may reduce this period.
Curing
On completion of the grouting operation, any exposed areas
which are not to be cut back should be thoroughly cured by
means of water application, Concure curing membrane or
wet hessian.
Precautions
Health and Safety
Cleaning
Grouts mixed with Cebex 100 should be removed form tools
and equipment with clean water immediately after use.
Remove cured material mechanically or with Fosroc Acid
Etch.
Cebex 100 is of low hazard. Contact with the skin and

eyes, or inhalation of dust should be avoided. Wear
suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye/face protection and
dust mask. After contact with skin, wash off with clean
water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention.
Limitations

Cebex 100 is incompatible with High Alumina Cement.
