Uses
Advantages
PreparationFoundation Surface The substrate surface must be free from oil, grease or any loosely adherent material. If the concrete surface is defective or has laitence, it must be cut back to a sound base. Bolt Pockets Depending on the size of the bolt pockets, 50-100% cleaned 10 mm sound aggregates by weight of grout consumption may be incorporated to economies on grout and also to keep the heat of hydration low. When the thickness exceeds 100 mm-150mm our technical department may be contacted for advise. There must be at least 12 hours gap between bolt pocket and under base place grouting sequence. Pre-soaking Several hours prior to placing, the concrete substrates should be saturated with clean water. Immediately before grouting takes place any free water should be removed with particular care being taken to blow out all bolt holes and pockets. Base plate It is essential that this is clean and free from oil, grease or scale. Air pressure relief holes should be provided to allow venting of any isolated high spots.
Levelling shimsIf these are to be removed after the grout has hardened, they should be treated with a thin layer of grease.
FormworkThe formwork should be constructed to be leakproof. This can be achieved by using foam rubber strip or mastic sealant beneath the constructed formwork and between joints. In some cases it is practical to use a sacrificial semi-dry sand and cement formwork. The formwork should include outlets for pre-soaking. Unrestrained surface areaThis must be kept to a minimum. Generally the gap width between the perimeter formwork and the plate edge should not exceed 150mm on the pouring side and 50mm on the opposite side. It is advisable, where practical, to have no gap at the flank sides.
MixingFor best results a mechanically powered grout mixer should be used. When quantities up to 50kg are used, a slow speed drill fitted with a high shear mixer is suitable. Larger quantities will require a high shear vane mixer. Do not use a colloidal impeller mixer. To enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously, it is essential that sufficient mixing capacity and labour are available. The use of a grout holding tank with provision to gently agitate the grout may be required Consistency of grout mix :The quantity of clean water required to be added to a 25kg bag to achieve the desired consistency is given below:
Flowable4.75 liters The selected water content should be accurately measured into the mixer. The total content of the Ducon FGP 1grout bag should be slowly added and zontinuous mixing should take place for 5 minutes. This will ensure that the grout has a smooth even consistency.
PlacingAt 30C place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain full benefit of the expansion process. Ducon FGP 1can be placed in thicknesses up to 100mm in a single pour when used as an under plate grout. For thicker sections it is necessary to fill out Ducon FGP 1grout with well graded silt free aggregate to minimize heat build up. Typically a 10mm aggregate is suitable. 50 - 100% aggregate by weight of Ducon FGP 1 can be added. Any bolt pockets must be grouted prior to grouting between the substrate and the base plate. Continuous grout flow is essential. Sufficient grout must be prepared before starting. The time taken to pour a batch must be regulated to the time to prepare the next one.
Typical hopper systemRemovable hopper : For large pours the grout may be hand placed or pumped into a removable hopper ( trough). Pouring should be from one side of the void to eliminate any air or pre soaked water becoming trapped under the base plate. It is advisable to pour the grout across the shortest distance of travel. The grout head must be maintained at all times so that a continuous grout front is achieved. Where large volumes have to be placed Ducon FGP 1 grout may be pumped. A heavy duty diaphragm pump is recommended for this purpose. Screw feed and piston pumps may also be suitable.
CuringOn completion of the grouting operation, exposed areas should be thoroughly cured. This should be done by the use of Hydrobuild CC Wax curing membrane, continuous application of water and/or wet hessian.
CleaningDucon FGP 1 grout should be removed from tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Cured material can be removed mechanically.

Features & Benefits
Preperation of Substrate
Method of ApplicationIn general, cement-based substrates must be free from dust, oil and grease, dry and free from any rising damp, with no loose, flaky or imperfectly anchored partssuch as residual traces of cement, lime and paint, which must be totally removed. The substrate must be stable and without cracks, must have already completed curing hygrometric shrinkage and must present suitable mechanical resistance levels. Undulated areas must be corrected with suitable smoothing and finishing products.
Substrates with weak surface consistencyScreeds and plasters which present a weak crystalline structure in the initial mm of thickness and which can be easily abraded must be consolidated by means of Hydro Prime, the professional, water-base depth consolidant, to be applied with one or more coatings and according to the instructions, until a surface has been obtained which isstill absorbent but compact.
High - absorption substrates :On screeds and plasters which are compact but highly absorbent, in warm climates and with direct ventilation, it is advisable to apply in advance Hydro Prime, a professional, concentrated, waterbase, surface insulation product, with one or more coatings and according to the instructions, to reduce water absorption and to improve spreadability of the adhesive.
Preparation
Type of applicationImportant :Adding extra water does not improve the workability of the product, may cause shrinkage in the plastic phase of drying and result in less effective final performance with a reduction in compressive strength and adhesion to the substrate.
ApplicationPure should be applied with a suitable toothed spreader, to be chosen according to the size and characteristics of the rear surface of the tiles. It is best to use the smooth part of the trowel to spread a fine initial layer, pressing down hard so as to obtain maximum adhesion to the substrate and to regulate water absorption, after which the thickness can be adjusted as required by tilting the spreader at an angle. Spread the adhesive over a surface area which will allow for laying of the surface materials within the indicated open time and check for suitability of the adhesive at regular intervals, the open time may vary considerably during the same operation, depending on various factors such as exposure to sunlight, air currents, absorbency of the substrate, temperature and relative humidity of the atmosphere. Press down each tile to allow for complete, uniform contact with the adhesive. In the case of laying in environments subject to heavy traffic or in outdoor locations, the double-spread technique must be used, to ensure 100% coverage of the rear of the tiles. In general, ceramic tiles do not require preliminary treatment, however these materials should properly anchored to the substrate or which may modify the absorption characteristics of the tiles.
Special applicationsReplacement of mixing water with Tuffex AD, the professional elastomer latex, provides the adhesive with greater capacity of transversal deformation and greater resistance to water and tensile stress without modifying the open time and adjustment interval. Pure with addition of tuffex AD exceeds the level of performance required by EN 12004 class C2 E.

Non-absorbent substrtes
High - absorpation substartesOn screeds and plasters which are highly absorbent and have dusty flaky surfaces it is advisable to apply one or more coats of HydroPrime a professional, concentrated water-base, surface insulation product, in accordance with the instructions, to reduce water absorption and toimprove spreadability of the adhesive
PreparationPrepare Turbo in a clean container, first of all pouring in a quantity of water equal to approximately . of that which will be required. Gradually add Turbo to the water in the container, mixing the paste from the bottom upwards with a low-rpm ( 400/min.) helicoidal agitator. Then add more water until the desired consistency is obtained. The mixture must be homogeneous and without any lumps. For best results, and to mix larger quantities of adhesive, a stirring device with vertical blades and slow rotation is ecommended. Specific polymers with high-dispersion properties ensure that Turbo is immediately ready for use. The amount of water to be added, indicated on the packaging, is an approximate value and will vary . It is possible to obtain mixtures with a more or less thixotropic consistency, depending on the type of application. Adding extra water does not improve the workability of the product, and may cause shrinkage in the plastic phase of drying and result in less effective final performancewith a reduction in compressive strength and adhesion to the substrate.
Application
Special applicationsPartial replacement of mixing water with Tuffex AD professional elastomeric latex enhances the adhesive’s capacity for transversal deformation. The real necessity for deformability of the laying system must be verified, as use of an excessively deformable adhesive together with highly-rigid substrates and laying materials may cause breakage and early unexpected yielding of the covering materials when placed under heavy and concentrated strain or loads. To define the percentage of Tuffex AD to be added, on the basis of the various factors related to the system, consult the Dubond Products (India) Pvt Ltd’s official web site.

Features and Benefits
Areas of Application
Usage InstructionSurface Preparation The base surface should be properly cured prior to application of AAC Block Adhesive. The surface must be cleaned thoroughly, with no loose particles or dust. The surface must be structurally sound, clean and free from dirt, oil, grease, efflorescence and any other contaminant which could impair the natural bond. Surface defects such as cracks, holes or voids should be repaired prior to application. Mixing It is very important that AAC Block Adhesive is mixed with water properly and thoroughly before use. It is advisable to use a mechanical stirrer for uniform and thorough mixing to save time, labour and for maximum workability. Take a clean vessel/bucket, add water to it and put required quantity of AAC Block Adhesive in it. Mixing Ratio - Clean potable water (approximately 25%-30%) of the weight of the powder is required to be mixed depending upon the thickness of the product to be applied. Water is to be incrementally added in stages to get a smooth, uniform and workable mix. Allow ample of time for initial mixing. Ensure that no powder is left unmixed at the bottom of the vessel. The AAC Block Adhesive is now ready for pplication.
Application ProcedureLayout the wall in which AAC Block Adhesive is to be used and mark openings like door, windows, any architectural appurtenances etc. Put a thin layer of AAC Block Adhesive in the thickness of 3 to 5mm on the clean and leveled surface using proper trowel on which the block work is to be carried out. Place the block on the laid AAC Block Adhesive in proper line and level. After placing the first block apply the AAC Block Adhesive of same thickness on both the sides of the block continuously keeping a check on the line and level. Clean the excess material, if any immediately. Continue the procedure for the entire block work.
CoverageUnder normal conditions the coverage of Dubond's AAC Block Adhesive is approx. 11.15 sq. mtr. with average thickness of 3mm for a bag of 40 kgs.

DUBOND’S HYDROSHIELD S is a silicone concentrate that is based on silane/siloxane. It is colorless, hence maintains natural color of the substrate. Dilute solutions of HYDROSHIELD S in organic solvents serve as high-quality general purpose water repellents for impregnating and priming mineral and highly alkaline substrates. After application, HYDROSHIELD S reacts with the atmospheric moisture or pure water in the substrate, there by generating the active ingredient and liberating acetate. The active ingredient greatly lowers the water absorbency of the substrate. Since neither pores nor capillaries are clogged, the substrate retains a Solvent Based Oligomeric Siloxane Water Repellent Product Damage to facade is always due to moisture, rain and surface water. Salt water damage occurs in porous building materials, only when moisture is present. The sources of salivation are deicing salts, rising dampness and reaction between the binder used in facade materials and paints. In addition to that, building materials have an inherent salt content. The moisture transports this salts to the surface of the substrate where it crystallization out. Salts are not only deposits on the surface but it cause the hydration and crystallization pressure. This builts up finally led to embrittlement and crumbling away of the surface. Acid rain i.e. sulphuric acid is by product in the form of sulphur dioxide by burning of industrial fuels, bound to particle of dust and droplets of water, is the primary cause for corrosion. Sulphuric acid reacts with the carbonates, the binder in mortars, lime washes, concrete, stones etc. Attack by moss and micro-organisms such as fungi and algae which are consequence of protected wetting of facade surfaces. The above mentioned facade damages can be diminished by impregnation with water repellant agents. The main aim of this is to form “hydrophobic” or dry zone on surface. The dry zone are not ideal for biotopes mosses, fungi, algae. The silicon molecules of Hydro shield do not clog the pores and so the surface retains its permeability to water vapour and “breathes”. Therefore treated buildings do not suffer from condensation damage. Buildings treated with Hydro shield may absorb very little water and can release it again
Areas of Application
Alkaline Substrates
ApplicationsVisible cracks must be sealed by Du Flex PS 600, polysulphide, or polyurethane sealant and primer. This sealants are not attacked by the repellent Hydro shield. Brush application is the simplest method Flat brushes or rollers can be used for application, while solution is applied, as the success or failure of such treatment depends on this factor. Surface penetration is most important step before application to get best results and avoid failure The surface must be free from any loose materials, crumbling powdery encrusted walls, fungus, moss, oil, grease and mould release agents. Clean the surface using scrappers and wire brushes Then clean the walls with high pressure water, wait for 2 days for the surface to dry The walls must be dry before the application Use of acidic and alkaline chemicals, detergents, cationic surfactants should be avoided It is advisable to wait for 28 days for curing the fresh masonary / new concrete.
Precautions & LimitationsHYDRO SHIELD S is also suitable as primer for exterior paints. It is NOT suitable for rendering gypsum water repellent.
Packing and Coverage2 HYDRO SHIELD S covers approx. 3 to 4 M / liter. Minimum 2 coats are recommended (Depends on the porosity of substrate.

Low-absorption substratesSmooth substrates with very low absorption or which are completely non-absorbent, such as ceramic tiles, marble floor tiles, epoxy paints, residual traces of oxidised adhesives and smoothed concrete coatings which are compact and properly anchored, must be prepared by means of mechanical abrasion. Any substances used for surface treatment, such as wax or parting compounds, must be removed mechanically or using specific chemical products
Low-absorption substratesSmooth substrates with very low absorption or which are completely non-absorbent, such as ceramic tiles, marble floor tiles, epoxy paints, residual traces of oxidised adhesives and smoothed concrete coatings which are compact and properly anchored, must be prepared by means of mechanical abrasion. Any substances used forsurface treatment, such as wax or parting compounds, must be removed mechanically or using specific chemical products.
Preparation of the slurryPrepare DU GO SL in a clean container, first of all pouring in a quantity of water equal to approximately . of that which will be required. Gradually add DU GO SL to the water in the container mixing the paste with a low-rotation ( 400/min.) . Then add more water until a fluid, homogeneous, lump-free mortar is obtained. For best results and to mix larger quantities of self-levelling product, a stirring device with vertical blades and slow rotation is recommended. Specific polymers with high- dispersion properties ensure that DU GO SL is immediately ready for use. The amount of water indicated on the packaging is an approximate value. DU GO SL features a high degree of self-levelling capacity. Adding extra water does not improve the workability of the product, and may cause shrinkage in the plastic phase of drying and result in less effective final performance with a reduction in surface hardness, compressive strength and adhesion to the substrate
Deformable substratesIn case of substrates which in any case are subject to flexure. apply HydroPrime the professional, single-component, water-base, adhesion promoter to aclean supporting surface, following the instructions for use. Attach an anti-alkali mesh with 4x 5 mm mesh size and create DU GO SL thicknesses ≤ 5 mm
