Ground LokTM Pourable Resin Grout

 

Description
Ground Control Pourable Resin Grout is a 2 component, free flowing liquid version of the Ground Control "GROUND-LOK" Resin Cartridge. Each kit consists of a liquid resin supplied in a mixing pail, and a cup of liquid hardener. The Ground Control Pourable Resin Grout is outstanding for grouting dowels and anchor bolts concrete, rock and masonry. Once cured, the product forms an effective corrosion barrier from a pH of 2 through to a pH of 11. Working compressive strength is obtained at six times the indicated pot life.

Directions For Use

  1. Hole Preparation
    The holes should be drilled with rotary percussion type equipment such that the hole side walls are not smooth. The drill hole must be clean and free from debris, oil and grease. The hole should be dry, but a good bond can be obtained in wet or underwater holes if sufficient sidewall deformities exist.
  2. Mixing Instructions
    Note the pot life-temperature relation and proceed by suspending all solids in the grout followed by adding the cup(s) of hardener to the mixing pail of grout and stirring the mixture as rapidly as feasible until no streaking of the hardener is observed in the grout-hardener mixture. The proper ratio is obtained when all of the hardener is added to the grout. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any foreign substance be added to the grout-hardener mixture.
  1. Installation
    Pour the grout-hardener mixture into the drill hole to a level about 2/3 full. Insert the dowel or anchor bolt and work it back and forth to avoid air entrapment. Assume the final position of the dowel or anchor bolt, top up the hole with liquid grout and allow the grout to gel in that position. The grout will gel in one and one-half times its pot life at the given temperature. Working loads can be applied in six times the pot life.
  2. Cleaning
    Cleaning of tools, spills or runs is best accomplished before the grout has hardened by wiping off excess and further cleaning the surfaces with acetone (propanone), or another type of high grade mineral spirit, making certain that the surface is compatible with the spirit used. Remove empty containers from the job site and dispose of according to area regulations.
  3. Caution
    This product is intended for industrial use only. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin. Use protective measures. In case of eye contact, flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, contact a physician. The kit contains: benzoyl peroxide, polyester resin, styrene and inert fillers. If taken internally, consult a physician immediately.
  4. Formula for Determining Resin Requirements
    Hole Volume - Bar Volume = Annulus Volume
    Hole Volume = 3.1416 x radius of hole squared x length (in inches)
    Bar Volume = 3.1416 x radius of bar squared x length (in inches)

Example:
Using a 1-1/4" hole and 1" bar 8' long
Hole = 3.1416 x (1.25/2) 2 x (8x12) = 118.08
Bar = 3.1416 x (1/2) 2 x (8 x 12) = 75.40
Grout Required = 42.68
213 / 42.68 = 4.99 holes per kit
