Typical Expansion : 0.25 to 0.50%
Working Life : 15 to 20 min.
Shelf life : 6 months stored dry in unopened supplier’s
container
Mixed density : approx. 2200 - 2250 kg/m3
Minimum application thickness : 10mm
General max. thickness : 75mm
surface preparation:
Surface must be clean, sound and must be free from any loose
or friable material, dust, oils, grease etc. For maximum bond,
surface should be abraded or roughened by using mechanical equipment
such as needle gun or brush hammer. All surfaces must be saturated
with clean water, but be free from any surface water or puddles
prior to application on ABC ZEMGROUT.
mixing:
ABC ZEMGROUT is best mixed in a forced action mixer. Machines
of the paddle type are most efficient however low speed drills
may be used with a suitable mixing paddle. Place clean water
in a non-absorptive pail and add slowly while mixing ABC ZEMGROUT.
Mix for 2 min. or until the mix is free from lumps and a flowing
consistency is achieved. Do not mix more grout than can be used
within 15 - 20 min.
caution: Do not add more water after final mixing.
application:
When pouring, the area of grouting must be tightly shuttered
and a header box used, so that a grout head of 150-200mm can
be maintained. For longer applications, ABC ZEMGROUT can be
placed using a grout pump. Ensure that air is displaced by grout,
if necessary, by making breather holes. Use steel rods or chains
to assist the flow grout where necessary. After the grout has
initially hardened, remove any shuttering and keep the grout
damp by covering with polyethylene or damp cloth.
important information:
- As cement is alkaline and may cause irritation, operatives
are recommended to wear gloves and goggles when using ABC
ZEMGROUT.
- Store ABC ZEMGROUT off the floor in cool, dry areas.
- Any temporary shims or jacks should be removed after 72 hrs.
Normal practice with grouting and tightening of holding down
bolts should be observed.
- At higher temperatures within the average range, working time
will be reduced. At lower temperature, it may be extended
and the rate of strength gain reduced.
- Clean tools and equipment using water while the grout is still
soft. Hardened grout can only be mechanically removed.
consumption (approximate):
Kg/m2
10 mm thickness – 22 kg
20 mm thickness – 45 kg
40 mm thickness – 90 kg

storage:
Store in a cool dry place. When stored as directed, ABC ZEMGROUT
will remain usable for 6 months from date of manufacture.

ABC FLOOR HARDENER is produced from graded
copper slags/quartz aggregates and special chemical additives
to provide extreme abrasion resistant surfaces. It also protects
the surface from gas, oil and chemical attack and provides non-skid,
anti-slip properties.
advantages:
Surfaces treated with ABC FLOOR HARDENER are capable of withstanding
high point impacts and stress of steel wheel traffic, fork lifts
and trucks.
uses:
Ideal for use in warehouses, factories, car parks, driving and
loading ramps, garages, mechanical and power rooms, wet rooms
and outdoor surfaces of all kinds, etc.
features:
- Easy application
- Easy maintenance
- High abrasion
- High impact resistant
- Suitable for constantly wet areas; skid/slip resistant
- Dust proof
- Resistant to gas, oil, mineral, solvents and other chemicals
application:
ABC FLOOR HARDENER is pre-mixed and ready to use.
SURFACE ARMORING is achieved by broadcasting evenly on freshly
screed concrete as follows:
Light Traffic : 3 kg/m2
Medium Traffic : 4 kg/m2
Heavy Traffic : 5 kg/m2
typical method of application:
- Follow good concreting practice when laying base slab. Smooth
and close the surface of concrete with wood float to ensure
an even and dense surface. Remove any excess water or laitance
from the surface of the slab using a soft broom.
- Broadcast ABC FLOOR HARDENER in two equal stages evenly over
the surface of concrete. The first application is made as
soon as the floor is firm enough so that aggregates do not
sink. Wood float or trowel to compact the first layer. Broadcast
the second layer approx. 20-30 minutes after the first application
or just before the initial coat is about to set.
- Smooth lightly with a steel trowel taking extra care to ensure
that the metal aggregates are not embedded under the substrate
surface. When firm, steel trowel again to bring the surface
to a perfect finish, again making sure that the metal aggregates
are not buried beneath the surface. To produce a non-slip
finish, trowel in a sweeping circular motion to produce slight
ridges.
storage:
When stored in a cool dry place, ABC FLOOR HARDENER will remain
usable for a period of 1 year from date of manufacture.
packaging:
25 kg multi-layered self-sealing paper bag.

ABC Self-Levelling Mortar is a ready-to-use
floor overlayment system designed to level, smoothen and/or
correct the slopes of existing concrete floors prior to the
application of decorative floor coverings such as coatings (epoxy
paint), carpets, vinyl tiles, parquet or ceramic tiles.
For indoor use only, ABC Self-Leveling Mortar cures overnight
and can be applied in thickness from 5 mm to 10 mm.
uses:
- Excellent flow properties
- Quick drying
- Increased surface hardness
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- Pumpable and self-leveling
- Suitable as wearing surface for storerooms and workshops
surface preparation:
The surface/subfloor must be dry, clean, free of cracks and
structurally sound. It must be free from dirt, dust, oils or
other contaminants.
mixing:
Slowly pour 25 kg of ABC Self-Leveling Mortar into 6.5 liters
of clean water and mix well using a mechanical mixer. Ensure
that material is free of lumps.
application:
- Pour the mixture continuously onto the subfloor to the desired
thickness (from 5 mm to 10 mm).
- Use a porcupine roller to remove entrapped air.
- The self-leveling compound will cure in 2-3 hours.
- Protect the newly applied material from direct sunlight to
avoid premature drying and curing.
- Not recommended for permanently wet areas and outdoors
packaging:
- Approximately 1.5 kg / square meter per mm thickness.
- Available in 25 kg. self-sealing multi-ply paper bag with
polyethylene plastic liner.

THERMOSHIELD is a high quality heat insulating mortar designed for interior and exterior applications over concrete substrates. It insulates walls, roof decks, ceiling slabs, fire walls, cool rooms, as well as under floors.
advantages:
- Conserves energy. It is 7x more resistant to heat transmission than cement plaster, thus savings on electricity.
- Fire retardant. Its low linear expansion characteristics make it non-combustible. When subjected to high temperatures, the heat and flames cannot penetrate thermoshield’s surface as easily or quickly compared with ordinary plaster.
- Light weight. Weighs approx. 60% less than concrete, thus reducing the cost of structural reinforcements.
- Reduces heat absorption, as well as heat transfer by a total of 140%, thus maintaining a cooler room temperature.
- Reduces sound transmission. It keeps noise out.
special features:
- Direct application on rough concrete or CHB wall replacing cement plaster, thus reducing cost on materials.
- Easy application. Thermoshield can be applied like regular mortar by any mason.

*Values are based on 2.5 cm (1") thick air dried samples.
surface preparation:
- For New Concrete
-New concrete must have cured for a minimum of 14 days.
-Concrete substrates must be rough, sound and free of dust, loose particles, form oil or efflorescence.
-Apply directly on concrete hollow blocks or rough plaster.
- For Old Smooth Concrete (Renovations)
-Abrade paint on existing structures.
-Apply a keying aid to roughen the surface and allow to set for 24 hours before applying THERMOSHIELD.
mixing:
23kg THERMOSHIELD needs 16 liters of clean tap water. Use a mixing device while adding water to Thermoshield. A slow speed mixer is required for small quantities & a concrete & a concrete mixer for bigger volumes. MIXING TIME: 3-5 minutes.Allow mixture to stand for 15 minutes and restir briefly before use. Consistency must be uniform throughout and thicker than conventional mortar. POT LIFE: 3 hours. CAUTION: Do not add additional water after final mixing.
how to use:
- INTERIOR & EXTERIOR WALLS (graphic A)
Application: To be applied directly on hollow blocks or concrete surface. Cast Thermoshield 2.5cm (1 inch) thick on both sides of the wall.
Finishing: After Thermoshield has cured for 7 days, finish off with protective covering (e.g., paint, tile installation, concrete topping, waterproofing). For an extra smooth finish, skimcoating is recommended before paint or wallpaper.
- ROOFDECKS (graphic B)
Application: To be applied directly on concrete substrate. Cast Thermo-shield 5cm (2 inches) thick.
Waterproofing: After Thermoshield has cured for 7 days, apply a flexible cement based waterproofing.
Finishing: Finish off with a protective covering (eg. tile adhesive before tiles or concrete topping before paint).
