DELTAGROUT EA

Plasticized Expanding Grout Admixture

DESCRIPTION
Deltagrout EA is a plasticizing and gas producing expanding agent, which is supplied as a powder
admixture. The plasticizing agent will reduce the water cement ratio that will increase strength and
durability.

USES
Deltagrout EA is an admixture for cementitious grouts that reduces water cement ratio and generates
positive expansion to compensate plastic shrinkage. Applications include bed grouting, duct grouting, non-
shrink cementitious injection, non-shrink infilling and jointing.

ADVANTAGES
· Compensates for plastic shrinkage and settlement in properly designed cementitious grout.
· Reduces water cement ratio in the grout mix to ensure 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.

STANDARD COMPLIANCES
Deltagrout EA is a suitable grout admixture for pre-stressing works and complying with BS 8110 Part 1,
1985, section 8.9.4.6.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
All grouting process should be carried out with a cement-based grout mixed with a plasticized and
expanding powder admixture. The admixture must be iron-free and chloride-free and shall be added to the
grout in the proportions 225 grams 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.

DOSAGE
For Cementitious Grout Injection
Mix 50 kg of Portland Cement and 20 litres of clean water, then add 225 grams of Deltagrout EA, which
will give an approximate yield of 36 litres of grout injection mixes.

For Flowable Cementitious Grouts

Mix 50 kg of Portland Cement, 50 kg of sand and 20 litres of clean water, then add 225 grams of
Deltagrout EA, which will give an approximate yield of 56 litres of grout mixes. In case the ratio of
aggregate to cement is more than one, then dosage of Deltagrout EA can be increased up to 450 grams per
50 kg of Portland Cement.

TECHNICAL DATA
Chloride Content Nil to BS 5075
Compressive The plasticizing action of Deltagrout EA allows reduction of
strength the water cement ratio whilst maintaining flow properties. This
gives improvement in strength and long-term durability when
cured under restraint.
Setting times: No significantly affect the setting times of cement
based grouts.
Expansion The controlled positive expansion in unset grouts incorporating
characteristics Deltagrout EA overcomes plastic settlement when measured in
accordance with ASTM C827. An unrestrained expansion of
up to 4% is typical.
Time for expansion 15 minutes - 2 hours.
Compatibility Deltagrout EA is compatible with all types of Portland Cement.
Deltagrout EA may be used in mixes containing other
Deltacrete
admixtures.
Packaging Deltagrout EA is supplied in 20 kg pail.

LIMITATIONS
Deltagrout EA is not compatible with High Alumina Cement.

STORAGE
Deltagrout EA has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry store in its original packaging.
Temperature and humidity storage may reduce this period.
