Keligrout Instructions

Information on drilled holes, surface preparation, mixing, installation, shelf life, shipping, hot weather, cold weather, caution.

Kelken recommends that all holes for anchors be made with air tools whenever possible. Pneumatic drilling cleans the hole and prepares it for easy bonding. Sinker drills will make a hole much faster than comparably priced electric tools. Holes made with hollow bits will need only an air blowout FROM THE BOTTOM UP using an air pipe.

Electric drilled holes should be wire brushed in addition to air blowouts so that concrete dust can be cleared allowing for good bonding. If holes were DIAMOND CORE DRILLED, KELKEN recommends that the sides of the holes be scored which will allow the resin to develop a keying action to the concrete surface.

1. our pre-proportioned hardening powder into can.
2. Stir thoroughly with anchor for 90 seconds or until thoroughly distributed throughout resin.
3. Pour mixed KELIGROUT directly into the bottom 1/3 of the prepared hole.
4. Push anchor to the bottom of the hole and rotate the anchor to assure full wetting.
5. Do not disturb the anchor for one hour.

A heat producing hardening powder is poured from the plastic container into Keligrout resin. It is hand mixed by stirring vigorously with the rod for 90 seconds. It is then poured into the bottom 1/3 of several clean air blown drilled holes. The holes may be damp but may not have running or standing water present. The rods are pushed to the bottom of the holes and rotated to assure total "wetting". They are left undisturbed until gel occurs, which happens within minutes to 1 hour depending on the ambient temperature at the time of installation. After the material has cooled it will have 50 to 60% of its ultimate strength. Complete cure is assured within 24 hours.

The shelf life of Keligrout is 6 months from date (our lot number) which is stamped on every can. Store Keligrout at 70°f out of direct sunlight. Storage temperatures should never exceed 85°f.

1. Keep Keligrout cool until immediately before using. An insulated cooler (and a little ice on really hot days) will do a good job. Do not let cans get wet.
2. Keep containers of Keligrout out of direct sunlight.

1. Always use two containers of hardener when temperature is below 45°f.
2. Keep Kelianchor, rebar or coilrod and Keligrout warm (70°f) until immediately before using.
3. A 100 watt bulb enclosed in a lockup box or insulated cooler works well at the job site. Material can also be warmed under a compressor engine's cover or in a truck cab.

Solvents for Keligrout are highly flammable and volatile. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE NEAR OPEN FLAME OR SPARKS.
Do not use Keligrout in drilled or formed holes that are over 1/4" larger than anchor's diameter without contacting Kelken.

Keligrout Sidewall Instructions

Side Wall Instructions when using kelianchoring systems or re-bar with Keligrout.

1. If the anchor is to be removed later, dip entire embedded portion in Kelislip. Let dry at least 2 or 3 minutes before insertion.
2. Drill holes - preferably with air tools that will blow out hole. Holes must be dust free. Use compressed air.
3. Put Polyethylene stopper into hole.
4. Draw mixed resin from the can into the gun by drawing back the plunger.
5. Eject resin into the hole thru cross slotted plastic stopper.
6. Push anchor into the hole thru the stopper.
7. VERY IMPORTANT: The hole must be entirely filled - after anchor is inserted not before!! - with Keligrout. MAKE SURE THIS OCCURS!!!
8. Periodically (e.g. before lunch or when stopping operation for a while) lubricate the gun with a release agent (silicone, lps, Kelislip, etc.) Let dry before resuming use.
