Temperature will affect the pot life. Application at temperatures above +23°C will reduce the pot life and the working time. Temperatures below +23ºC will increase the pot life and extend the working time.

~12.0 ltr per 25kg bag

SikaGrout^®-295 ZA can be mixed with a low speed (<500rpm) hand drill mixer to avoid entraining too much air.Mix only full bags for best results.

Pour the minimum recommended water in a suitable mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly at least for 3 minutes adding additional water if necessary to the maximum specified amount to adjust the grout to the required consistency

SikaGrout^®-295 ZA is applied manually using traditional pouring techniques or for large applications using suitable pumping device. (refer to Sika technical department for advice).  It is recommended to check the material after pumping.

Remove excess water from substrate surface e.g. with clean sponge, until surface is dark matt in appearance without glistening (saturated surface dry) . Surface pores and pits shall not contain water. Let the grout stand for ~5 minutes to release air entrained by mixing. Pour grout into the prepared openings using a sufficient pressure head to maintain a continuous flow of grout. Ensure air displaced by the mortar can easily escape. For optimum use of the expansion properties apply the grout within ~10 minutes after mixing.

Cure exposed surfaces immediately with protective sheet or membrane.  Shield the fresh mortar from direct sun, wind and frost.

Finish exposed surface as desired as soon as the mortar has started to stiffen.  Do not add additional water on surface.  Do not over work surface as this may cause surface cracking.

Keep visible exposed grout surfaces to a minimum. Protect the fresh material from premature drying using appropriate curing method e.g. curing compound, moist textile membrane, polythene sheet etc.

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.
