Description
Fosroc Cebex 100 Expanding Grout Admixture – 227 g
Cebex 100 is a powdered grout admixture comprising a plasticiser and gas-generating expansion agent. It’s designed to enhance site-mixed cementitious grouts by reducing water content and triggering controlled expansion to counteract plastic shrinkage and settlement
Features
- Positive expansion (≈ 4%) in unset grout to eliminate voids and improve contact under restraint
- Plasticising performance allows a low water-to-cement ratio for enhanced strength and durability
- Gaseous expansion system fully offsets settlement without needing vibration
- Chloride- and iron-free, preventing corrosion or staining of reinforcement
- Fast strength gain, high fluidity, and ease of placement or injection
Applications
- Bed grouting under baseplates, machinery, and precast elements
- Duct grouting and vertical or horizontal structural grouting
- Non-shrink infill and jointing in construction and repair
- Ideal for void filling where no separate vibration or compaction is possible
Standards & Compliance
- Suitable for pre-stressing grouts per BS 8110 Part 1, 1997, Annex A
- Expansion performance meets ASTM C827 (plastic grout expansion)
- Chloride-free to BS 5075; compatible with Portland cement and many Fosroc admixtures
Usage Guidelines
- For typical mixes (up to 1:1 by weight of cement:sand), add 227 g Cebex 100 per 50 kg cement; adjust per mix needs
- Mix thoroughly (mechanically) with grout components for ~5 minutes before placing within ~20 minutes to fully utilize expansion
- Shelf life is approximately 12–18 months in dry storage
- Health & Safety: Low hazard, but dust may irritate—wear goggles, gloves, and a dust mask as a precaution
