Cebex FCC422 For Grouting

Cebex FCC422
constructive solutions
Plasticised expanding grout additive
Uses
Cebex FCC422 is used as a cementitious grout additive
where a low water/cement raio and a medium expansion is
required.
Applications include bed grouting, non-shrink infilling and
jointing, joint filling between pre-cast concrete units, grouting
of voids in structural members, grouting of pipe joint and
normal repair work where shrinkage must be avoided.
Advantages
Non-shrink properly ensures retention of original volume.
Easy flow facilitates ease of placement.
Reduced water/cement ratio ensures low permeability
and long term performance in service.
High compressive strength in the range of 40N/mm2 after
28 days, when using good OPC.
Facilitates the production of a cohesive grout.
Description
grout at a reduced water cement ratio. It shall be compatible

to all types of ordinary portland cements. It shall aid in the
development of high compressive strengths in the order of
40N/mm2 @ 28 days when used with good OPC.
Application instructions
Dosage
5kg of Cebex FCC422 to be added for each bag of ordinary
portland cement (50kg) at water cement ratio of between 0.40
and 0.44. The additive is compatible to all types of Ordinary
Portland Cement but not to high alumina cement.
The following are typical values obtained with Cebex FCC422
added as described and with the cubes cured under restraint.
Size of the cube moulds used was 70.6mm x70.6mm
x70.6mm.
Cement (OPC) : Sand ( Zone 3 ) = 50kg : 50 kg
Water Cement ratio : 0.42
Cebex FCC422 : 5 kg or 10% by weight of cement.
Cebex FCC422 is supplied as a powder additive.

The material is a combination of a plasticising agent, and a
gas producing expansive medium, with suitable fillers; which
generates gas during the hydration process before the initial
set takes place, counteracts the natural settlement and
shrinkage of the grout. Stability and cohesion of grout are
greatly increased. The selected fillers used ensure uniform
mixing.
Expansion is controlled to avoid excess pressure built up but
sufficient pressure is developed to provide complete contact
of the grout with the bearing surfaces, without voids.

Mixing
Always mix cement and fine sand (zone 3) in the ratio of 1:1
by wt. Fresh OPC should be used for best results.
For best results we recommend mechanical mixing. A free
fall concrete mixer can be used for large volume mixing (50kg
cement and above). For smaller volume, a drilling machine
fitted with a paddle can be used.
If hand mixing becomes inevitable, a large fabricated tray can
be used for mixing to prevent debris contaminating the grout
and to avoid loss of grout flowing out of control.
To ensure uniform dispersion of the additive, cement, sand,
Cebex FCC422 should be mixed thoroughly in dry condition
and then with precisely measured quantity of water. Water to
cement ratio can be 0.4 to 0.44, depending on the type of
cement, sand and workability required.

All bed grouting, joint filling, void grouting etc., carried out
using cement or cement sand grout shall be incorporated
with a plasticising grout additive. The additive shall not shrink
and shall provide a controlled expansion to ensure complete
filling of voids. It shall facilitate production of more cohesive
Place about 80% of the required water in the drum :

(a) While the mixer is running cement, sand and Cebex
FCC422 dry mix should be added. After all the powder is
added, the balance 20% water be added and mixed for atleast
5 minutes.

Estimating
OR
(b)Cement, sand should be added to the mixer. Then Cebex
FCC422 should be added slowly and mixed for 5 minutes
after all the additive is added.
Packaging
Cebex FCC422 is supplied in 5 kg bags.
Drilling machine with paddle
Storage
Use a slow speed ( geared) drilling machine. Use a suitable

container for mixing. Mix the grout as described in the case
of Fall Mixer.
Shelf life
6 months if kept in a dry store in its original packing.
Hand Mixing
Precautions
Thorough mixing of cement, sand and Cebex FCC422 in dry
condition must be done prior to the addition of water.
Health and Safety instructions
Placing
Surfaces to come in contact with the grout should be cleaned
free from dust, debris, oil and other foreign material.
Cebex FCC422 is alkaline in nature. Gloves should be used

while handling the product. Splashes to the eye and body
should be washed off with clean water. If irritation persists,
medical advice should be sought.
The concrete surfaces should also be prewetted with water

for atleast 24 hours. All surface water should be removed
before grouting.
Additional information
Fosroc manufactures a wide range of products specially
designed for the repair and refurbishment of damaged
reinforced concrete. This includes repair mortars, fluid microconcretes, chemical resistant epoxy mortars in addition to
comprehensive package of protective coatings. In addition,
a wide range of complementary products are available. This
includes joint sealants, waterproofing membranes, grouts
and anchors and specialised flooring materials.Separate
datasheets are available on these products.
Curing
On completion of grouting operation, exposed areas which
are not to be cut back should be thoroughly cured by means
of water ponding or wet hessian for minimum of 15 days.
Our membrane curing compound, Concure WB ( see
separate datasheet for details ) can also be used effectively.
