Application of SpECgrout C1
Preparation:
Before applying SpECgrout C1, it is crucial to ensure proper surface preparation. This includes the following steps:
– Remove all grease, oil, and loose materials from the substrate.
– Soak the prepared substrate with clean water for several hours prior to grouting to avoid absorption that could affect flow characteristics.
– Any residual water on the surface should be removed using oil-free compressed air.
Placement:
To achieve optimal results during placement, follow these guidelines:
– Ensure that the underside of the base plate is clean, free from any oil or grease, and has no geometry that could impede grout flow.
– If there are cruciforms present, air release holes should be drilled through the base plate to avoid trapping air which reduces contact area.
– All formwork must be sealed properly to prevent grout loss during pouring. It should be tight against the base plate and parallel to the direction of flow with appropriate gaps at pouring hoppers.
Pouring:
Once the grout is mixed, pour it immediately to leverage its high flow properties. Note the following:
– The grout should be poured within 20 minutes after mixing to maintain its fluidity.
– Grout should only be poured from one side of the base plate to prevent air entrapment. Maintain a continuous flow during application.

Product FAQ
The curing method for SpECgrout C1 involves immediately applying a SpECcure curing membrane to all exposed areas of the grout after grouting is completed.
SpECgrout C1 is suitable for grouting anchor bolts, turbine base plates, generator base plates, and pressing and milling machine base plates.
SpECgrout C1 should be mixed using a slow-speed electric drill fitted with a SpEC Mixing Paddle. For optimal results, mix the grout for at least five minutes after adding the specified amount of water (5.5 to 7.25 liters per 25kg bag) to ensure proper dispersion of ingredients. It is crucial to pour the grout within 20 minutes after mixing to utilize its high flow properties effectively.
Store SpECgrout C1 in original containers in a cool, dry environment.
The application temperature range for SpECgrout C1 is 5°C to 35°C.
Tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately with water, as hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
