QUIK-ROK® is a
chemically engineered hydraulic cement which when mixed with water forms a pourable mix
who self-leveling characteristics make it an ideal grouting material. Controlled
expansion enables QUIK-ROK® to develop "lock-in" adhesion which can withstand
loads in excess of 10,000 psi. It is designed to set within 15 minutes, even in
subfreezing temperatures, down to 20° F.
MIXING
Mix clear water with QUIK-ROK® - approximately 1 part water to 2 ½ parts QUIK-ROK®, by
volume. Stir until smooth, avoiding a watery mix. (Note: Excess water
reduces strength, durability and increases set-time, as with any hydraulic cement.) Do
not add addition amounts of water as mix begins to set!
Prepare only as much QUIK-ROK® as will be used in ten minutes.
As an additive: Substitute QUIK-ROK® for 15% to 50% of the
cement content, mix thoroughly with sand and aggregate before adding water (approximately
5 to 10 gallons per 100 pounds of mix).
Do not add calcium chloride or any other type of concrete
accelerator to QUIK-ROK®. Use warm water if a faster set is desired.
For best results a mechanical mixer is strongly advised.

EXTERIOR
APPLICATION
Although QUIK-ROK® has excellent freeze-thaw resistance, when
used in a "sleeve" designed anchoring system; QUIK-ROK® must be shaped
(crowned) to allow for water "run-off" thus eliminating the possibility of
freeze-thaw damage. On exterior surfaces, do not allow sleeve to act as water
reservoir. Trowel a mound-like head to insure water drain-off. Constant
exposure to large amounts of water may cause deterioration.
