Euclid Cable Grout PTX is a precision-engineered, high-performance grout specifically formulated for post-tensioned cable systems where unparalleled corrosion protection is critical. This pumpable, non-shrink grout provides exceptional strength development, reaching over 7,000 psi compressive strength at 28 days while maintaining the extreme fluidity necessary for complete cable encapsulation. With its thixotropic properties meeting PTI specifications, this aggregate-free formulation ensures reliable protection for steel cables, anchorages, and rods in the most demanding structural applications.
The grout’s superior flow characteristics allow for effortless placement in tight clearances and complex geometries, while its non-bleeding formula prevents settlement and maintains consistent density throughout the pour. Euclid Cable Grout PTX exhibits remarkable dimensional stability with zero shrinkage properties, ensuring long-term structural integrity and corrosion barrier effectiveness. Its ability to repair previously grouted cables makes it an invaluable solution for both new construction and rehabilitation projects requiring the highest standards of cable protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended water-to-grout ratio for Euclid Cable Grout PTX?
Use 1.5 to 1.7 gallons of potable water per 50 lb bag for fluid consistency, or 1.3 to 1.5 gallons for flowable consistency. Never exceed these ratios to prevent bleeding.
How long is the working time for this grout?
Initial setting time ranges from 8-12 hours at 70°F, depending on ambient temperature and material conditions. Flow time remains workable for 30 minutes after initial mixing.
Can this grout be used for vertical applications?
Yes, but for vertical applications greater than 20 feet, limit water dosage to no more than 1.5 gallons per 50 lb bag to minimize bleeding potential.
What surface preparation is required?
Standard concrete preparation applies. Ensure surfaces are clean and free from contaminants. The grout bonds well to properly prepared concrete and steel surfaces.
What is the shelf life of Euclid Cable Grout PTX?
6 months in original, unopened packaging when stored in dry conditions. This is a made-to-order product with a 10-day lead time.
What temperature range is suitable for application?
Application temperature must be 40°F or above and remain so for 24 hours after placement. Employ appropriate hot or cold weather practices as temperature dictates.
