Precautions
- Choose and use the correct product type, to ensure no blow outs and successful results.
- Before starting any job always wear safety glasses, dust mask, and rubber gloves.
- Do not look into filled holes over stand over them at any time, if blow outs occur may cause injury.
- Do not leave excess product in the bucket.
- Cover holes with a tarp to avoid direct sunlight.
- When mixing, if the product begins to steam in the bucket, add some water to dilute it.
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
- Store in cool, dry place.
1. Drill
- Ensure you have your safety glasses, gloves, dust mask and equipment in place first.
- Drill holes using a core drill, rock drill or substitute using 1.50″ diameter drill bit.
- The hole diameter drilled should be 1.50″.
- Holes to be drilled 8 to 16 inches apart. For harder rock and reinforced concrete, hole spacing should be 8 inches apart.
- Drill between 80 to 90% of the depth.
- Ecobust must have free space to expand into. Create a series of empty holes if required.
- For specific drill patterns refer to drill guide and / or contact us.
2. Mix
- Select the correct product type for your specific temperature range. Refer to chart below.
Ensure correct product type used for maximum performance. - Pour 1.5 liters of common cold water in a bucket and gradually add one bag (5Kg) of product.
Do not mix more than 2 bags (10Kg) at a time. - Mix well, using a mixing paddle, until the powder is completely dissolved in water into a slurry.
3. Pour
- After drilling minimize water and residue left behind in the holes.
- Within 10 minutes of mixing, pour the product into the holes, filling within 1 inch from the top.
- Gradually pour the mixture into the holes to ensure no air gaps are trapped within. Poke a stick or rod down the hole if necessary.
- Be sure to empty the bucket, do not leave surplus mixture.
- Cover the holes with a tarp after they have been filled. Do not look into the holes.
- Keep product away from direct sunlight.
- For the best results allow product to set for 24 hours (product continues to expand up to 48 hours).
