GHIAIETTO 6.10

Dried fine gravel to be added to castable anti-shrinkage mortar

Code: ADX.0066

Components: 1

Appearance: Gravel

Dried, selected fine gravel, with particle size between 6 and 10 mm, specific for addition to premixed structural mortars and plasters, both castable and thixotropic, to improve or correct the particle size curve, based on the required increase in casting thickness.

Consumption

Variable according to the different design requirements for dilution of structural castable mortars (see details in the technical data sheets of the GROUT line products).

Use fields

Addition to conglomerates based on mineral and polymeric hydraulic binders; size adaptation of premixed mortars and grouts.

Use method

Add the desired amount of fine gravel to the mixture, during the mixing of the same. Add any additional remaining water and product base, until a cohesive and lump-free mixture is obtained. Leave the mixed conglomerate to rest, with added gravel for a few minutes before laying it.

The dosage of GHIAIETTO 6.10, relative to the weight of the mixture of a product with water, can be maximum 30%-35% (100 kg of finished mixture with 30 kg of fine gravel).

PLEASE NOTE: to calculate the material required as a function of the volume to be filled, after having determined the required quantity of the preselected product based on the specific weight of the same (normally for a structural cement mortar it is about 1900 kg/m³), replace maximum 25% of the calculated weight with GHIAIETTO 6.10 . To facilitate the calculation, as a general rule consider using one bag of GHIAIETTO 6.10 for every three bags of (premixed) base product.

Application methods

- To be added to other components

Permitted supports

- Cement-based or lime-based mortars

- Concrete

Warnings, precautions and Ecology

Excessive dosage of GHIAIETTO 6.10 could result in reductions even significant in the stated mechanical performance for the product it is added to. Always follow the maximum dosages specified.
