Capcem™ UWP is a non-shrink cementitious underwater pumping and fissure injection grout to seal wet or underwater substrates without significant ‘wash-out’ of the cement phase. Applications include crack and fissure sealing in mining and drilling operations and underwater concrete repair.
It is supplied as a ready-to-use dry powder requiring only the addition of water to produce a free flowing, non-shrink grout which exhibits exceptional resistance to ‘washing-out’ of the cement phase when placed in stationary or moving water.
The material is a mixture of specially processed cements. Additives impart controlled expansion, water reduction, non-washout characteristics and aid uniform mixing, minimising segregation and bleeding whilst assisting the flow characteristics.
Advantages
- Displaces water effectively
- Long-distance pumping into narrow gaps
- High early strength
- Non-flammable
Features
- Gaseous expansion system compensates for shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state
- No risk of significant ‘wash-out’ of cement phase when placed underwater
- High early strength facilitates rapid installation and sealing
- Reliable factory controlled pre-packed components. Only the addition of water is required on site
- Composition allows high early strength development without the use of chlorides
Product Options
- Capcem™ UWP is supplied in a 25 kg bag.
