Grout Micro Fix

Grout Micro Fix achieves fluid and hyper-fluid workability even with very low water/cement ratios (< 0.4). thus resulting perfectly homogeneous, pourable, self-levelling and without water exudation phenomena. The very fine grain size of the aggregates allows the perfect filling of particularly narrow spaces and discontinuities (< 0.5 cm). The capillary absorption of the applied micromortar is very low, allowing great resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and washout. Grout Micro Fix achieves very high mechanical performance and is rich in microsilicas with pozzolanic activity and special additives which make it extremely durable even if positioned in particularly aggressive environments (due to chloride contamination in marine atmospheres). It is resistant to sulphate attack (Anstett test passed). The very fine binders, in combination with the special additives contained, allow Grout Micro Fix to develop exceptional values of adhesion to the steel and resistance to slipping of the bars with improved adhesion.

When anchoring steel bars, the advantages of using Grout Micro Fix are:

• application also on damp supports (a situation that often limits the use of traditional structural resins);
• high resistance to high temperatures (for example in the event of impact and fire) thanks to the nature of the anchor.

Drill the masonry with a diamond core drill (the diameter of the core varies from 50 to 80 mm depending on the diameter of the threaded bar to be inserted). Blow with compressed air and vacuum the dust from the hole.

Mixing the micromortar
Pour 2/3 of the total mixing water into the concrete mixer, gradually add the product and, subsequently, the remaining water, mixing until a homogeneous mixture of the desired consistency is obtained. Grout Micro Fix can be mixed with different consistencies, from plastic to self-levelling pourable. With 12-13% of water (3.0 – 3.25 lt/25 kg bag) plastic consistencies are obtained, with 13-14% (3.25-3.5 lt/25 kg bag) consistencies pourable, with 14-16% (3.5-4.0 lt/25 kg bag) self-levelling fluid consistencies. Small volume doughs can be mixed with a double/triple helicoid whisk equipped with a speed regulator. Install by injection or pouring within 60' 30' of packaging. If the temperature, at the time of application, is between 0 and 5°C, the development of mechanical resistance will be slower. It is recommended, with cold temperatures, to use lukewarm mixing water between 20 ÷ 30°C. If the temperature, at the time of application, is between 30 and 35°C, it is advisable to use low temperature mixing water (5 ÷ 10°C) and to apply the product during the least hot hours of the day (approximately morning or evening).

Creation of the sock system
Place the sock system inside the hole, making the injection tubes come out. Proceed with mixing the mortar and pumping through the injection pipe until it is completely filled.
