QUIKGROUT, BAROID, 30 MESH BENTONITE, 50LB BAG, FOR GROUTING WELLS

Description

QUIK-GROUT is a single-sack, easy-to-use, sodium-based Bentonite grout designed for grouting water wells, monitoring wells, and for plugging holes. QUIK-GROUT does not contain any polymers.

Applications/Functions

• Seal or grout plastic and steel casings
• Seal downhole instrumentation in test and observation holes
• Plug abandoned boreholes and earthen cavities

Note: Not recommended for use as a cement additive 

Advantages

• Easy one-sack, dust-free mixing
• Develops a 20% active solids slurry weighing 9.4 lb/gal (1.13 g/cm with hydrostatic gradient of 0.489 psi/ft (11.1 kPa/meter)
• Mix and handle with conventional rig equipment
• Creates a low permeability seal

Develops a permanent, flexible seal to prevent commingling between aquifers
Prevent entry of contaminants from the surface

• Rehydratable
• No heat of hydration
• ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certified 

Typical Properties

• Appearance - Beige to tan granular
• Moisture content - 8%
• Specific gravity - 2.6
• pH (8% slurry) - 8.2
• Permeability - 2.5 x 10-8 cm/sec (in fresh water)
• Bulk density, lb/ft - 72 (as packaged) 

Recommended Treatment

QUIK-GROUT should be mixed with fresh water to obtain maximum results. The recommended mixing rate is a 50-lb (22.7 kg) sack of QUIK-GROUT with 24 gallons (91 liters) of fresh water to make a 20% active solids slurry with slurry weight of 9.4 lb/gal, 70.3 lb/ft (pcf) or 1.13 g/cm. 

Recommended Mixing Procedure 

• Using a mixing device, blend one sack of QUIK-GROUT into 24 gallons (91 liters) of fresh water. Rate of addition should be about 20 to 30 seconds per 50-lb (22.7 kg) bag.
• Blend, do not over mix and do not attempt to use a centrifugal pump. The resulting slurry should look like oatmeal containing unyielded or partially yielded bentonite. Pump through tremie into hole without delay.

Notes:

• The volume of water (24 gallons or 91 liters) is critical.
• The grouting method selected will depend upon, and you should carefully consider, all prevailing geological and hydrological factors and any existing regulatory requirements. The grouting process may not be complete until the grout is static at the desired level. 

Packaging

QUIK-GROUT is packaged in 50-lb (22.7 kg) multiwall paper bags, containing 0.7 ft
