Five Star HTR Grout

Key Features of HTR Grout

• High Temperature Resistance
  Withstands exposure to 1,000°F (538°C) in 24 hours and up to 2,400°F (1,316°C) after proper curing procedures.
• Rapid Strength Development
  Achieves 4,000 psi compressive strength in 24 hours, 5,500 psi in 7 days, and 6,500 psi in 28 days for quick equipment startup.
• Thermal Shock Resistance
  Maintains consistent strength of 5,300 psi through repeated thermal cycling from ambient to 1,000°F temperatures.
• Positive Expansion Properties
  Exhibits controlled expansion during curing to ensure complete contact with equipment bases and eliminate shrinkage gaps.
• Air Release Technology
  Incorporates advanced air release system per ACI 351.1 R for superior consolidation and void elimination.
• Excellent Bond Strength
  Provides 2,500 psi bond strength to concrete substrates for secure equipment anchoring.

Recommended Applications for HTR Grout

HTR Grout is specifically formulated for industrial professionals working with equipment and structures exposed to extreme temperatures. Its unique combination of high-temperature resistance, rapid strength gain, and thermal shock resistance makes it the optimal choice for critical applications where equipment downtime must be minimized and structural performance maintained under severe thermal conditions.

Ideal Applications Include:

• • Coker unit equipment and structural supports
  • Kiln and furnace base plates and anchoring systems
  • Foundry equipment and machinery supports
  • High-temperature processing equipment
  • Thermal cycling applications up to 2,400°F
  • Rapid turnaround maintenance during shutdowns
  • Equipment exposed to repeated thermal shock
  • Industrial base plates requiring thermal stability

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum temperature HTR Grout can withstand?
HTR Grout can be exposed to 1,000°F (538°C) in 24 hours after placement and up to 2,400°F (1,316°C) after a complete 7-day curing procedure consisting of 3 days wet curing followed by 4 days dry curing.

How quickly can equipment be returned to service?
Equipment can typically be brought up to operating temperature of 1,000°F approximately 24 hours after placement. For higher temperatures up to 2,400°F, allow the full 7-day curing procedure before gradually applying heat.

What is the working time for HTR Grout?
HTR Grout has a working time of approximately 20 minutes at 70°F (21°C). For optimal performance, condition the material and work area between 60°F and 80°F (16°C and 27°C).

How much water should be added per bag?
Mix HTR Grout with 3 to 3.5 quarts of potable water per 50 lb. bag. Always add water to the mixer first, followed by the grout powder, and mix thoroughly for 4-5 minutes.

What is the minimum placement thickness?
The minimum placement thickness for HTR Grout is 1 inch (25 mm). For pours exceeding 3 inches in depth, extend with clean, damp coarse aggregate suitable for high-temperature exposure.

How should the grout be cured?
HTR Grout should be wet cured for a minimum of 30 minutes immediately after placement. For applications up to 1,000°F, cure for 24 hours. For temperatures up to 2,400°F, wet cure for 3 days followed by dry cure for 4 days before slowly applying heat.
