AV-260 Fusion Grout™

1 of 1 products in this brand
AV-260 Fusion Grout™ is a moisture activated MDI-based polyurethane resin whose chemical reaction is catalyzed by mixing AV-261 Fusion AC™ with AV-260. Injected as a single component, AV-260 is designed for sealing active and potential water leaks in various cracks, and annular spaces where flexibility is needed but is susceptible to wet/dry cycles. AV-260 cures resilient, impermeable, and flexible. Avanti’s AV-260 is one of the most versatile products on the market.

How It Works

AV-260 Fusion Grout uncured resin must be injected into a confined space. Fill the space at least halfway with unreacted resin. The resin will react with moisture to form a resilient seal accomplished by three mechanisms: the resin seeks out water in the space and adheres to the surface, then begins to expand in the confined space to form a tight, high density compression seal, while the network of compressed grout material within all the cracks/joints forms a mechanical lock.

Cleaning Products

• AV-208 Technical Grade Acetone™ (CAS# 67-64-1) – removes moisture from equipment
• AV-284 Pump Wash™ (Proprietary Blend) – removes uncured resin from pump and hose
• AV-222 Cleaner™ (Proprietary Blend) – removes cured resin from equipment

Mix Procedure

Typically, one container of AV-261 Fusion AC is used per 5-gallon container of AV-260 Fusion Grout. Depending on the desired reaction time, AV-261 may be doubled. Mix thoroughly, but slowly, to avoid creating bubbles in the solution. Perform the standard cup test with site water to determine the desired reaction time.

Performance

Flush equipment with AV-208 before and after use to remove moisture and clean equipment. Performance will be influenced by site conditions. If site temperatures are low, heat the product to recommended operating temperatures of 60°F – 90°F (16°C – 32°C) and/or increase catalyst amount by 1% – 2%. Do not exceed more than 64 fl. oz. (1 L) of AV-261 Fusion AC per 5-gallon container of the AV-260 Fusion Grout resin. Do not use open flame as a heat source. Excess amounts of AV-261 may adversely affect performance. Because catalyzed resin will react to moisture from the air, use product soon after mixing for best results.
