Preparation
Concrete surface
The substrate surface must be free from oil,
grease or any loosely adherent material. If the
concrete surface is defective or has laitance, it
must be cut back to a sound base. Bolt holes and
fixing pockets must be blown clean of any dirt or
debris.

Pre-soaking
For a minimum of 2 hours prior to grouting, the
area of cleaned substrate should be flooded with
fresh water. Immediately before grouting takes

Estimating

Supply
Conbextra Sureflow 100: 25kg Bags

Yield
Plastic: ~12.5L /25kg
Pourable: ~13L /25kg
Flowable: ~13.2L /25kg

Allowance should be made for wastage when

estimating quantities required.

Storage
Conbextra Sureflow 100 has a shelf life of 12
months if kept in a dry store in sealed bags. If
stored in high temperature and high humidity
locations the shelf life will be reduced.
Precautions
Health and safety
Conbextra Sureflow 100 is alkaline and should not
come into contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
inhalation of dust during mixing. Gloves, goggles
and dust mask should be worn.
If contact with skin occurs, wash with water.
Splashes to eyes should be washed immediately
with plenty of clean water and medical advice
sought.

Fire
Conbextra Sureflow 100 is non-flammable.
