Silico Crete TRG is a high-performance gun grade premixed mortar designed for effective filling of tie-rod holes and wall tie opening of shuttering technology. The product is designed to ow and travel and yet remain cohesive when rolled by hand or by a machine while being led into the tie-rod hole so that the entire mix is led inside the hole without excessive oozing out from the other end. Silico Crete TRG meets the requirements of Greenpro ecolabel and its qualities as a green product.
Clean the Tie Rod/Wall Tie Holes/Gap/Opening to be filled and remove Loose Unsound Concrete Particles, Dust, Oil, Paint, Grease, Waterproof Coating, etc., ensuring the Area is free from all Contamination that may Hinder Adhesion.
Saturate the Substrate with Water by Flushing Water inside the Holes to prevent absorption from the Mixed Material.
Prepare the Mix: Add 80% to 85% of the Predefined Amount of Water in a Mixing Vessel and gradually add SILICO Crete TRG Powder, continuously mixing with a slow-speed mixer for 2 minutes. Then, add the remaining 15%-20% Water and Mix for another 2-3 minutes until a Uniform, Workable Mix is Achieved.
Load the Cement Mortar Caulking/Grouting Gun with the prepared SILICO Crete TRG Mix and use a suitable Nozzle Compatible with the Tie Rod Opening.
Start filling the Tie Rod/Wall Tie Holes from One end by applying the required Pressure until the Mix Travels Smoothly, Filling the entire hole without excessive ooze-out from the other end.
Remove the Gun from the first end and finish both ends using a Flat Shape, ensuring both ends are level with the parent surface.
Repeat the process for all Tie Rod / Wall Tie Holes.
Use the SILICO Crete TRG Mix within the prescribed Pot Life to maintain Quality and Consistency.
