ARDEX BG 60 HD: High-Strength Fluid Grout for Structural Applications
ARDEX BG 60 HD is a high-performance, cement-based, single-component grout with excellent fluidity and high mechanical strength. Ideal for securing steel elements, filling cracks, and repairing concrete structures. It offers non-shrinking properties, slightly expands, and provides outstanding adhesion to metal and concrete. Suitable for applications up to 70mm in thickness. Certified to 1504-6 standards, it is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
Usage Areas
- For indoor and outdoor use.
- Filling and anchoring processes in concrete floors exposed to moderate mechanical loads.
- Securing steel columns to foundations, manufacturing of wall and column heads, filling machine foundations, and assembling prefabricated concrete elements.
- Filling concrete columns, bridge connections, rails, and gaps between walls and columns.
- Special repair operations on horizontal concrete surfaces, injection, reinforcement, capsule, etc. (by pouring).
Product Features
- Very high mechanical strength in both short and long term.
- Non-shrinking (slightly expansive), preventing cracks and ensuring the entire area is covered after hardening.
- Excellent adhesion to metal surfaces and concrete.
- High fluidity; when mixed with the appropriate amount of water, it becomes self-leveling, allowing the grout to spread perfectly across the entire area, including hard-to-reach places.
- Protects metal surfaces it comes into contact with and enhances their durability.
- Contains no chlorides or metal components that could cause corrosion.
- Certified according to 1504-6.
Important Considerations Consult with the project’s authorized structural engineer and obtain approval for determining and deciding on the application method for the structural element.
