GROUT F-100

Physical properties were determined on specimens prepared under laboratory conditions using applicable ASTM procedures. Actual field conditions may vary and yield different results; therefore, data is subject to reasonable deviation. The above properties were obtained using the plastic mix ratio of 4.125 quarts of water to a 50 pound bag of powder.

Sauereisen Grout F-100 is a nonmetallic, inorganic grout offering significant advantages for structural and machine placement.

Engineers and architects concerned with a structural and machine placement that requires grouting are aware of the need for a nonmetallic, inorganic, premixed and dimensionally stable material. Sauereisen’s high-early strength Grout F-100 meets this need. Sauereisen F-100 is composed of inorganic materials of the highest purity — a coarse quartzite aggregate of 99.6% pure silica screened to size for ultimate density. Continuous quality control of raw materials and the finished product results in a grout that is COMPLETELY STABLE.

Sauereisen Grout F-100 will remain volume stable in both wet and dry conditions. It remains stable without cracking or lamination from compressive loading, severe impact, lateral thrust, high heat or continuous vibration.

Metallic grouts contain metal filings which corrode and expand unpredictably under normal conditions. When subjected to wet and dry cycles, metallic grouts expand, crack and stain. Sand and cement grouts mixed from materials of variable quality are known to have different properties from batch to batch, resulting in unpredictable shrinkage. Some grouts contain gas-forming chemicals which expand to compensate for the shrinkage that occurs in the plastic state before hardening. F-100 contains no materials which produce corrosion or the evolution of gases. Most of the other nonmetallic and organic-based grouts are not volume stable and eventually shrink.
