Cebex 100*

(Formerly Conbex 100)

Plasticised expanding grout admixture


Uses

Supplier specification

Cebex 100 is an admixture for cementitious grouts where a


reduced water/cement ratio and positive expansion is
required. Applications include bed grouting, duct grouting,
non-shrink infilling and jointing.

All grouting (specify details and areas of application) must be


carried out using a cement based grout, incorporating Cebex
100 manufactured by Fosroc and applied strictly in accordance
with the manufacturer's technical data sheet.

Advantages

Properties

! Gaseous expansion system compensates for plastic


shrinkage and settlement in properly designed
cementitious grout.

Chloride content

Nil to BS 5075

Compressive strength

Setting times

The plasticising action of


Cebex 100 allows reduction
of the water/cement ratio of
cementitious grouts whilst
maintaining flow properties.
This gives improvement in
strength and long term
durability when cured under
restraint.
Cebex 100 does not
significantly affect the
setting times of cement
based grouts.
The controlled positive
expansion in unset grouts
incorporating Cebex 100
overcomes plastic
settlement when measured
in accordance with
ASTM C827. An
unrestrained expansion of
up to 4% is typical.
15 minutes - 2 hours.
Temperatures above 20C
may slightly reduce these
times.
Cebex 100 is compatible
with all types of Portland
cement. Cebex 100 may be
used in mixes containing
certain other Fosroc
admixtures. Consult Fosroc
for further information.

! Reduced water/cement ratio mixes in the grout mix


ensures low permeability and long term durability in
service.
! Gives high grout fluidity with low water/cement ratio, thus
making placement or injection of the grout easy.
! No metallic iron content to corrode and cause staining or
deterioration due to rust expansion in the grout.
! Composition allows high early strength development in
grouts, without the use of chlorides.
Standards compliance

Expansion characteristics:

Cebex 100 is a suitable pre-stressing grout admixture when


complying with BS 8110 Part 1, 1985, section 8.9.4.6.
Description

Cebex 100 is supplied as a powder admixture. The material is


a combination of a plasticising agent and a gas producing
expansion medium. The plasticising agent allows the use of
a reduced water/cement ratio with consequent increased
strengths and durability. The expansive medium counteracts
the natural settlement and plastic shrinkage of the grout and
aids stability and cohesion.
Sufficient restrained expansion is developed to ensure a high
degree of interfacial contact.

Performance specification
All grouting (specify details and areas of application) must be
carried out with a cement based grout incorporating a
plasticised, expanding powder admixture. The admixture must
be iron-free and chloride-free and shall be added to the grout
in the proportions 225 g of admixture per 50 kg of cement.
The admixture shall provide an expansion of up to 4% in the
plastic grout, by means of a gaseous system. The admixture
must be stored, handled and mixed strictly in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.

Estimating

Mixing

Supply

For best results Fosroc MR3 mixer must be used. For


quantities up to 50 kg a slow speed drill fitted with a high
shear paddle is suitable. Larger quantities will require a high
shear vane mixer.
It is essential that machine mixing capacity and labour
availability is adequate to enable the grouting operation to be
carried out continuously. This may require the use of a holding
tank with provision for gentle agitation to maintain fluidity.
The selected water content should be accurately measured
into the mixer. Slowly add the cement (and sand if required)
and Cebex 100. Mix continuously for 5 minutes, making sure
that a smooth even consistency is obtained.

Effects of overdosing

Curing

Health and safety

On completion of the grouting operation, any exposed areas


which are not to be cut back should be thoroughly cured by
means of water application, Concure* curing membrane or
wet hessian.

Cebex 100 is of low hazard.

Grouts mixed with Cebex 100 should be removed from tools


and equipment with clean water immediately after use.
Remove cured material mechanically or with Fosroc Acid Etch.

Note: For grout, mortar or concrete mixes with an aggregate/


cement ratio more than 1, use 4x225 g units or 900 g
of Cebex 100 per 100 kg of cement.

Areas to be grouted should be prepared to ensure substrates


are clean, sound, and then pre-wetted. The unrestrained
surface area of the grout must be kept to a minimum. Place
the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain the full benefit
of the expansion process. Adopt usual placing or pumping
procedures ensuring a continuous operation.

Cleaning

5 kg packs & 225 g tins

Cebex 100 has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry store in


its original packaging. High temperature and humidity storage
may reduce this period.
Precautions

Contact with the skin and eyes, or inhalation of dust should


be avoided. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye/
face protection and dust mask. After contact with skin, wash
off with clean water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
For further information see Product Material Safety Data sheet.

Limitations

Cebex 100 is not compatible with High Alumina Cement.
