Intraplast ZX
Extra Expanding Grout Admixture

Description Intraplast ZX is a ready to use extra expanding grout admixture in powder
form. It is non toxic,non flammable and does not contain chlorides or other

ingredients of corrosive nature. Intraplast ZX causes the cement mixture
to expand before setting. By introducing micro bubbles into the wet mix,
volume expansion and increased fluidity results without segregation.

Intraplast ZX reduces the separation of water (bleeding) from the mixture.
It prevents premature setting and allows a reduction in the amount of gaug
ing water.

Uses Intraplast ZX is special product for the grouting of prestressed cable
ducts, bearing plate, tunnel linings and rock and soil anchoring. The use

of Intraplast ZX with the grouting mixture has the following advantages:
- Improved fluidity.
- Good strength and adhesion properties.
- Increased cohesion.
- High Volume expansion in the wet state.
- Protective action against corrosion of prestressing wires.
- Durable and dense filling of all cavities.
- Increased frost resistance.
- Prolonged workability.

Application Intraplast ZX is dosed at 1-2 % by weight of cement. Depending on the
type of mixer and purpose of the injection, the mixing time and the water/
cement ratio must be in accordance with the requirements. For prestressed
concrete work where batching the mixture is done in the usual mechanical
way. A mixing time of 3-4 minutes together with a water/cement ratio of
0.40-0.45 is found to give best results. Generally the most suitable mixing

sequence is the water/cement/Intraplast ZX.
It is not recommended to add sand for prestressed concrete work.

Important Intraplast ZX is essentially a product for use by specialised enterprises
working in the field of applied prestressing and grouting techniques.
It is know that the properties of the grout damixture can be significantly
influenced by the mixing procedure, cement properties, adding of
water, and temperatures. For important work it is necessary to
determine the most suitable procedure by means of preliminary site
tests. Cement containing fly ash is not suitable for use with

Intraplast ZX.
