In-Pakt Construction

Pre-packaged, general purpose, pumpable, non-shrink, cementitious grout

In-Pakt Construction is a pre-packaged, general-purpose, pumpable, non-shrink, non-metallic cementitious grout, formulated from specially graded natural fine aggregates and other carefully selected components. In-Pakt Construction can be used at varying consistencies from dry pack to fluid.

  • Can be mixed and placed from dry pack, plastic and fluid consistencies using relatively low water:cement ratios
  • Excellent pumpability
  • Non-corrosive, non-chloride, non-metallic
  • Excellent resistance to freeze-thaw cycling

Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

All surfaces to be in contact with In-Pakt Construction must be free from dust, oil, grease or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material.

 

SURFACE PREPARATION

Remove all delaminated or unsound concrete providing a roughened surface. Clean the area to be repaired with potable water, leaving the concrete saturated but free of standing water (SSD).

MIXING

Place 75 % of required potable water into mixer and slowly introduce entire bag of In-Pakt Construction. Add balance of required water slowly while mixer is running, not exceeding maximum recommended volume of water. Continue mixing for a minimum of three (3) minutes and stop only when material has reached an homogeneous consistency.

APPLICATION

Dry pack

Firmly press or ram In-Pakt Construction into place using metal or hardwood tamping tools and a mason’s trowel. Grout consistency when pressed into a firm ball should display no cracking or excessive surface moisture.

   

Plastic

Rod into place or trowel into are as where material can not flow into place. Grout consistency should be similar to that of a masonry mortar (between 100 % and 115 % flow, ASTM C1437).

  

Fluid

In-Pakt Construction may be poured or pumped into place. Pour continuously with adequate head pressure or pump into place ensuring that all voids are completely filled. Formwork joints should be caulked with suitable material. Adequately vent high points to allow entrapped air to escape.

CURING TREATMENT

Curing is essential to optimize physical properties of the concrete and minimize plastic shrinkage. Cure immediately after material has reached initial set or immediately after forms are removed in accordance with ACI 308 “Guide to Curing Concrete”. Continuously moist cure for a minimum period of 7 days. Alternatively, moist cure for a minimum period of 24 hours and apply a curing compound that complies with ASTM C309. Curing is particularly critical in rapid moisture loss conditions such as high temperatures, high winds and low humidity.
