ARDEX BG 60 HD: High-Strength Fluid Grout for Structural Applications
ARDEX BG 60 HD is a high-performance, cement-based, single-component grout with excellent fluidity and high mechanical strength. Ideal for securing steel elements, filling cracks, and repairing concrete structures. It offers non-shrinking properties, slightly expands, and provides outstanding adhesion to metal and concrete. Suitable for applications up to 70mm in thickness. Certified to 1504-6 standards, it is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
Description
ARDEX BG 60 HD is a cement-based, single-component, flowable, self-leveling grout with very high mechanical strength in both the short and long term.
No shrinkage (it expands very slightly); therefore, cracks are avoided, and the hardened product occupies the entire space to be filled.
Optimum adherence to metal surfaces and concrete.
Outstanding fluidity, self-levelling, even with little mixing water, therefore, the grout fills perfectly the whole anchoring area, even areas of difficult access.
Passives and protects metal surfaces in contact with it, making them lost longer.
Without chlorides or metal aggregates that could favour corrosion.
Application thickness is between 5-70mm.
Use
For internal and external areas. Filling and anchoring on concrete flooring for machinery subject to intense mechanical loads. Filling and sealing in concrete pillars, bridge supports, rails, filling between walls and pillars, etc. Fixing the steel columns to the foundation, manufacturing the curtain and column heads, filling the machine foundations and assembling the prefabricated concrete structural elements. Special repairs on horizontal concrete surfaces, injections to reinforce frames, pods, etc. (by pouring).
Considerations
For the assessment of the load-bearing capacity of the damaged concrete component, in particular for the assessment of reinforcement, concrete cover, etc. and for the determination of the resulting necessary refurbishment is in doubtful cases a knowledgeable planner or structural engineer to consult
