Cheminteraplast Z
Expanding Grout Admixture
________________________________________________________
Product Description Cheminteraplast Z causes expansion by introducing
micro bubbles into wet cementitious mortar or concrete
increasing fluidity without segregation.
_______________________________________________________________________
Uses Cheminteraplast Z is used for grouting of:
Pre-stressed cable ducts
Rock and soil anchoring
Bearing plates
Pre-placed aggregates
Tunnel linings
Grouting for underpinning jobs
_______________________________________________________________________
Advantages Cheminteraplast Z provides the following properties:
Improved fluidity
Increased cohesion
Volume expansion in the wet state

Application Details
________________________________________________________________________
Dispensing Add directly to the cementitious mix in the mixer.
The most effective mixing sequence for a lump free
homogeneous grout is water, cement and finally the
Cheminteraplast Z
________________________________________________________________________
Application Mix cement, water and admixture by slow speed mixer
for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous, lump free
liquid mix is obtained. Allow air bubbles to escape.
Grout from one side and allow the air to escape from the
other side. Do not interrupt grouting. Maintain sufficient
head of pressure.
________________________________________________________________________
Remarks The use of Chemrite/ Chemplast admixtures will help
extend fluidity of Cheminteraplast Z. Cements
containing Silica Fume can be grouted by adjusting
dosage.
