NS GROUT
NON-SHRINK, FREE-FLOW,
HIGH STRENGTH
NS GROUT is designed for critical use where high
strength, non-staining characteristics and positive
expansion are required. It contains only natural
agregate and an expansive cementitious binder.
The expansion is used on non-gas forming
cementitious materials. It is extremely flowable,
and when cured, appears similar in appearance to
concrete.
PRIMARY APPLICATION
l Pumps
l Fans
l Motors
l Compressors
l Generators
l Machine bases of all types
l Anchor bolts
l Column baseplates
FEATURES / BENEFITS
l Non-staining natural aggregate for better
appearance
l Non-shrink performance provides excellent
bearing
l Flowable and self-leveling
l High strength
l Appearance of plain concrete
l Does not contain any added chloride ions
SPECIFICATION / COMPLIANCES
l Meets the requirements of CRD C-621,
Corps of Engineers Specification for NonShrink Grout.
l Shows positive expansion when tested in
accordance with ASTM Specification C1090, Standard Test Method for Measuring
Changes in Height of Cylindrical
Specimens from Hydraulic-Cement Grout.
l Meets the performance requirements of
ASTM C-1107, Grade C, combination
volume adjusting grout standard
specification for packaged dry, hydrauliccement grout (non-shrinkable).
l Meets compressive strength ASTM C-109.
l Flow rate ASTM C-939, CRD C-621
l Setting Time - ASTM C-191

PACKAGING / YIELD
NS GROUT is packaged in 25 kg bags and yields
0.01 4 m3 of fluid grout when mixed with 5 liter of
water
25 kg of NS GROUT and 11.3 kg of 9.5 mm pea
gravel will yield approximately .018 m3 of flowable
consistency grout. Use pea clean and dry gravel
for deep fills only.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


The contractor and engineer are suggested to
consult and review the CMCI Application Instructions - Cementitious Grouting. The document
offers instructions detailing the general installation of CMCI manufactured cement-based grout
products.
The information given here is offered in particular
support to the mixing and placing of NS GROUT.
This information should be used in conjunction with
the Application Instructions guide mentioned
above.
Mixing
Consistency Estimated Water Content*
Fluid
5.0 liter/25 kg
Flowable
4.2 liter/25 kg
Plastic
3.75 liter/25 kg
(Do not add excess water that will cause bleeding
or segregation). More or less water may be required
to achieve a 25 second flow or the desired placing
consistency, depending on temperature and other
variables. Do not add sand or cement to the grout
since this action will change its precision grouting
characteristics.
Do not use this product at a flow cone rate of less
than 20 seconds if checking flow rates on the job
site (see CRD-C-611 of ASTM C-939 for flow cone
method)
Where NS GROUT will be placed at a thickness
over 50 mm in the bolt pockets, up 11.3 kg of pea
gravel may be added to each bag of grout. The
aggregates shall be washed and in SSD conditions
to use with the grout. Note that the water demand
to achieve a certain flow level of the grout will
change. Do not add more water which will promote
bleeding of the grout.
Placing - NS GROUT sets more rapidly than plain
mortars; therefore, place quickly and continuously.
If placing this product in hot weather, use of cold
water will increase the working time.

PRECAUTIONS /LIMITATIONS
l DO NOT ADD ANY ADMIXTURE OR
FLUIDIFIERS.
l Proper curing is required
l Employ cold weather or hot weather grouting
practices as the temperature dictates
l Do not allow to freeze until 4000 psi (27.6
MPa) attained
l Do not use material at temperatures that
may cause premature freezing.
l Shoulder cracking may occur on wide
shoulders, or at stress points such as
shimpacks bolts, or plate stiffeners. These
cracks are of no structural significance.

Curing and Sealing - Proper curing procedures


are important to ensure the durability and quality
of the grout. Wet cure the grout until the forms are
stripped. Then, cure the grout with a high solids
curing compound, such as SUPER REZ-SEAL,
SUPER FLOOR COAT or SUPER AQUA-CURE
VOX as described in the general grouting Application Instructions guide.
Curing Compound must be ordered separately.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment with water before the
material hardens.
