CICO POLYGROUT 
Expansive Aqua-Reactive Water Barrier Grouting System

CICO POLYGROUT is a low viscosity liquid which reacts with water in a controlled manner to form a swelling, resilient adhesive solid in densities and strength appropriate to the designated task. When injected under pressure into leaking structures, through the process of polymerization, a permanent flexible water barrier is formed. The liquid retains its initial low viscosity upon contacting water allowing it to flow without dilution. Once the CICO POLYGROUT water reaction commences, the grout expands penetrating into its surrounding and quickly cures to a tough, adhesive solid to repel the influence of underground seepage flow and solidify the objective ground which is unaffected by corrosive environments.  

FEATURES

• CICO POLYGROUT has very remarkable solidifying property even in ground where water flow is violent. It stops water from oozing and solidifies the ground with high strength. 
• CICO POLYGROUT imparts successful solidifying property in all types of water, such as seawater, mineral water or that containing slight acid and alkali. 
• CICO POLYGROUT is extremely stable both chemically and physically and will not be damaged by any bacterium. 
• CICO POLYGROUT is completely nonpollutant to the water it contacts and has no effect on potable water, fish or marine life. 
• CICO POLYGROUT possesses excellent adhesiveness to solid particles and is therefore useful in landslide prevention. 
• CICO POLYGROUT does not wash away or is not diluted by the ground water.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION USAGE 

• Prevention of water from leaking into underground (basements, tanks, sumps, pits etc); 
• Soil stabilisation for foundations. 
• Securing tie – back anchors for retaining walls or guys. 
• Serving as sealer or liner in concrete structures. 
• Preventing water from oozing from ground. 
• Serving as water barrier in basement gravel bedding waterproofing system.

CIVIL ENGINEERING WORK APPLICATION 

• Solidifying and strengthening of ground and rock and stopping water from oozing out. 
• Preventing leakage in tunnels and tunnel segment, deep underground structures and water retaining structures. 
• Stabilisation of abutment and bridge piers. 
• Preventing leakage through dams. 
• Preventing of landslides. 
• Solidifying and creating a water barrier in rock and earth fill dams. 
• Back filling by impregnation for tunnel shield construction. 
• Preventing air from leaking during compressed air shield construction or caisson construction. 
• Facilitates supportability of pile and pier. 
• Increases bearing capacity of underpinning 
• Prevention of crown collapse in tunnels.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND OTHER APPLICATION

• Solidifying agent to atomic, industrial and chemical waste solutions or wastewater. 
• Solidifying agent for sewage and sludge removed from organic and inorganic waste dumps. 
• Preservation of historical relics, harbour engineering, mining reclamation engineering etc.

IMPREGNATION METHOD 
CICO POLYGROUT is generally pumped as a single component through low pressure handoperated pumps or special high pressure pumps as required. Hoses are fitted with packers/injection nipples with valve which is sealed against back-pressure with quick-setting cement. The surface is sealed/patched properly to prevent from coming out. CICO POLYGROUT reacts with water and expands to form a ‘fluid wedge’ & blocks the leakage

An expanding non-ferrous grout, consisting of a dry pre-mixed blend of special grade cement, siliceous aggregate with set regulating and reactive chemical compounds in powder form. Only water needs to be added. It contains no Calcium Chloride

Cement-based grout is made of mixed water and cement, which is sometimes also added with sand and admixtures. It is commonly used for soil improvement, for repairing the damages on concrete and masonry, or for the construction of preplaced- aggregate concrete

Cebex 100 is an admixture for cementitious grouts where a reduced water/cement ratio and positive expansions are required. Applications include bed grouting, duct grouting, non-shrink infi lling and jointing. Advantages  Gaseous expansion system compensates for plastic shrinkage and settlement in properly designed cementitious grout.  Reduced water/cement ratio mixes in the grout mix ensures low permeability and long term durability in service.  Gives grout high fl uidity with low water/cement ratio, thus making placement or injection of the grout easy.  No metallic iron content to corrode and cause staining or deterioration due to rust expansion in the grout.  Composition allows high early strength development in grouts, without the use of chlorides.
