Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum clearance for Fluid Grout 100 placement?
Fluid Grout 100 can be placed in clearances as tight as 1/2 inch (12 mm) when mixed to fluid consistency, making it suitable for precision machinery alignment applications.
What compressive strength does Fluid Grout 100 achieve?
At fluid consistency, it reaches 3,500 psi in 24 hours, 6,000 psi at 3 days, 6,500 psi at 7 days, and 8,000 psi at 28 days. Plastic consistency achieves even higher strengths up to 10,000 psi at 28 days.
How long is the working time?
Working time is approximately 30 minutes at 70°F (21°C). Use heated or chilled water to adjust working time as needed for ambient conditions.
What is the recommended water content?
Begin with 4.5 quarts of potable water per 55 lb bag. For fluid consistency, typically 5.5 quarts total water is required. Never exceed the maximum water content stated on the bag.
What curing requirements are needed?
Fluid Grout 100 requires wet curing for a minimum of three days, or coating with an approved curing compound meeting ASTM C 309 requirements after a minimum 24-hour wet cure.
Can it be used in cold weather conditions?
Yes, but equipment and surface temperatures must be maintained between 40°F and 90°F (4°C and 32°C). Refer to Five Star Design-A-Spec for cold weather grouting procedures outside this range.
