Place about 70–80 % of the premeasured clean water (depending on consistency required - refer to “Mix Ratio”) into a clean container and gradually add the whole bag of SikaGrout®-214 KH into it while continuously mixing. Add the remaining water and continue mixing until the desired consistency is obtained. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes with a slow speed drill and paddle (~500 rpm). For large quantities mixing, the use of a forced-action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type is preferred. Free fall mixers should not be used.

Use SikaGrout®-214 KH for grouting only.
After mixing, stir lightly with a spatula for a few seconds to release any entrapped air. The grout is then poured immediately into the prepared formwork. When carrying out baseplate grouting, ensure sufficient pressure head is maintained for uninterrupted mortar flow. For formwork repair, the prepared formwork must be firmly in place and kept watertight. When placing grout over a large area, it is important to maintain a continuous flow throughout. Work sequence must be properly organised to ensure an uninterrupted flow. In large areas, SikaGrout®-214 KH may be pumped using heavy duty diaphragm pumps. Screw feed and piston pumps may also be used.

Specific Areas of Application

• Grouting under baseplate - pourable consistency
• Formwork grouting (example deep honeycombs, column reinforcements, etc.pouring method - flowable / pourable consistency prepacked method - flowable consistency.
• Grouting anchor bolts - stiff consistency
• Grouting large volumes - for sections thicker than 50mm, it is necessary to fill SikaGrout®-214 KH with graded 10 mm silt free aggregates to minimise temperature rise generated during the curing stage. The quantity of aggregates should not exceed 1 part aggregates to 1 part SikaGrout®-214 KH by weight. For such mixes, a conventional concrete mixer and pump may be used.
  To further ensure that air entrapped during mixing is allowed to fully escape, it may be necessary to make breather holes. Use steel rods or chains to assist the flow of the grout where necessary.

If formwork type repair is used, leave the formwork in place for at least 3 days. Upon removal of the formwork, cure the exposed surfaces immediately with Antisol®-E curing compound or use other approved curing methods.

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
