CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS & FIRE PROTECTION

Premier Grout MP
A multipurpose non-shrink Class A cementitious grout complying with requirements of Gas Generating, Shrinkage Compensating grout according to AS1478.1 - 2000. Premier Grout MP is based on Portland cement, graded aggregate and chemical additives that impart controlled expansion whilst in the plastic state. The gaseous expansion system compensates for shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state. Premier Grout MP is supplied as a ready to use dry powder requiring only the addition of a controlled amount of clean water to produce a free flowing non shrink grout for gap thickness from 20mm to 100mm in a single application.

Recommended uses
• All general purpose grouting
• Grouting under precast and tilt slab panels
• Grouting ducts in post–tensioned concrete panels
• Grouting in column bases
• Filling core holes, rod holes and defects in concrete
• Fill-in grout for hollow concrete block walls
• Joints between precast panels and other joints
• Caulking of joints and pipes

Features
• Non-shrink - Good dimensional stability - Complete void filling
• Versatile - Can be dry packed, rammed, trowelled, poured and pumped.
• Economical, low in-place cost.
• Ready to use, pre mixed, requires only the addition of water.
• Non-staining – iron free
• Lower water/cement ratio
 - Reduced drying shrinkage
 - Increased durability
 - Reduces Permeability

Plasterfine Fairing Compound
Single component polymer modified cementitious fairing compound. Plasterfine cementitious fairing coat is supplied as a ready to use blend of dry powders which requires only the site addition of clean water to produce a highly consistent cementitious fairing mortar. The material is based on a blend of cements, graded aggregates, special fillers and chemical additives to provide a material with good handling characteristics, whilst minimising water demand. The product exhibits excellent thermal compatibility with concrete and is fully compatible with other Ramset mortars.

Recommended uses
Plasterfine cementitious fairing compound is designed for application in thin layers to produce a fairfaced appearance to concrete or masonry surfaces in readiness to receive a protective/decorative coating. Surface imperfections up to 3 mm in depth can be filled using a scrape coat application. Voids of greater depth should be separately filled as a prior operation, again limiting the material thickness to 3mm. Plasterfine can be used independently to fill surface imperfections and voids or to render large sections of concrete, brickwork or masonry at up to 3mm thickness. It can also be used in association with other Ramset mortars. Under normal conditions, the product does not require an independent primer or curing membrane.

Features
• Easy to use – no independent primer or curing membrane necessary
• Suitable for vertical and overhead use
• Excellent bond to the concrete substrate
• Can be applied from 3mm to a feather edge
• Pre-blended to overcome site-batched variations – only the site addition of clean water is required
• Contains no chloride admixtures
• Highly suited as a base for protective / decorative coatings.
