Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular has been developed specifically for small volume, manually applied grouting, between 20mm and upwards in depth.
Holes filled with Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular are sealed against water and a variety of liquids, including oil products.
Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular can also be used for the sealing of joints in precast, vertical and non-supported horizontal concrete structures.
Compressive Strength in accordance with EN 12190:
| Regular | |
|---|---|
| 7 Day | >45 MPa |
| 28 Day | >55 MPa |
Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular is suitable and recommended to waterproof voids where Xypex Admix C-Series has been used in the original construction of:
- Anchor holes
- Concrete walls
- Concrete soffits
- Concrete slabs
- Reservoirs
- Concrete tanks
Product Certified:
EN 1504-6 – Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures – Anchoring of reinforcing steel bar.
Use
Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular provides for the filling of voids to enable the continuation of the waterproofing. It resists most dynamic stresses and provides protection to anchors.
Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular can also be used for the sealing of joints in precast, vertical and non-supported horizontal concrete structures that contain Xypex Admix.
Voids filled with Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular are sealed against liquids, including most oil-based products.
Waterproofing Capability
* Whilst a perfect application at these thicknesses will provide a waterproof layer, there is, however, a higher probability of imperfections in the application which would compromise the integrity of the waterproofing.
** At these thicknesses, Manorteq products will be waterproof when applied in strict accordance with the installation procedures laid out in the Technical Data Sheets.
Installation
Substrate
- Any dust and loose particles shall be removed from the substrate before application. The concrete surface must not be contaminated by substances which can negatively affect adhesion of the mortar to the substrate (e.g. oil).
- Before application of the prepared mortar, wetting of the concrete should be thorough and repeatedly undertaken for at least 120 minutes.
- Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular has a minimum application thickness of 20 mm, with no maximum limit.
Preparation
- To prepare Manorteq NonShrink Thix Regular, mix 3.20 to 3.70 litres of clean water per 25 kg of product.
- Optimum quantity of batching water can fluctuate, as is usual with mortars containing a cementing binder.
- Working time of the product is 50 – 60 minutes at 20 °C.
- It is important to note that the anchor holes, joints etc. should be filled in one application without interruption, to ensure the treated areas are continuous.
- The temperature of ambient air shall not be below, nor expect to be, in the following 24 hours, +3°C or be,or expect to be, above +35 °C.
Never apply to frozen substrates.
FAQ’s
All Manorteq NonShrink grouts are waterproof and help with the continuity of crystalline waterproofing due to the Xypex Technology Inside, dealing with small voids such as anchors holes etc.
For use in restricted-access areas NonShrink Flow should be used on a horizontal application where the material needs to be applied as a liquid, such as under column plates or under machinery etc.
Manorteq NonShrink Thix should be used where the grout needs to hold its own weight or where access is easy.
NonShrink Flow and Thix have a compressive strength of 60 MPa @ 28 days when mixed in accordance with the relevant Technical Data Sheet.
The workability for both NonShrink Thix and Flow is 50 - 60 minutes when mixed in accordance with the relevant Technical Data Sheet.
