THERMAL GROUT SELECT |
| Black Hills Thermal Grout Select MSDS Sheet | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Thermal Grout Select is a uniquebentonite-based two-part, field mixed, high to extreme-high solids grouting material that can mixed to meet a range of thermal conductivity's from 1.00 to 1.20 Btu/hr ft °F. It has been specifically developed for closed-loop ground-coupled heat pump applications where thermal conductivity in the vertical bore column is critical to system performance. This product is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International to ANSI/NSF Satndard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals - Health Effects. Thermal Grout Select contains no chwmical polymers or organic matter.
Thermal Grout Select provides unequaled performance while offering the contractor proven advantages in handling and clean-up. When properly mixed, more than 30 minutes of working time is available before significant hydration occurs. Unlike many other bentonite grouting materials, Thermal Grout Select does not flash hydrate. It's percentage of solids will range from equivalent, to over 2.5 times greater than that of the best conventional bentonite grout products. As the solids percentage becimes higher, Thermal Grout Select will reequire less water per delivered gallon of yield than other grout as well as a linear shrinkage potential which becomes less and less. |

| Packaging Information | Thermal Grout Select, Part I is packaged in 50 lb multi-wall polylined paper bags. Part II as supplied by GeoPro, Inc. is typically packaged in 100 lb multi-wall paper bags or in 50 pound multi-wall paper bags. Both components are shipped stretch-wrapped on wodden pallets. Each full pallet of Part I contains 45 bags and each full pallet of Part II contains 30 to 40-100 lb bags or 54 to 80-50 lb bags. |
| Mixing Instructions | 1. Place fresh water2 in a conventional paddle mixing tank. 2. Start mixer and add Bentonite Base2(Part I). Mix for about 1 minute. 3. Add Thermal Enhancement Compound2(Part II) at a moderate rate (in about 1 to 2 minutes) and continue to mix for another 1 to 2 minutes to obtain a consistent mixture. 4. Pump with a positive displacement pump (piston pump recommended) through a 1-1/4" inside diameter tremie pipe at a rate of 5 to 15 gallons per minute. Note 2: Call GeoPro, Inc for exact quantities, which will be based on the specified thermal conductivity. |

| Quality Control: |
The quality of a system is directly related to the quality of the components and the quality of the installation. Black Hills Bentonite, L.L.C. and GeoPro, Inc. are committed to providing a product that meets or exceeds the specified requirements from both the design engineer and the governing regulators. Years of extensive research have gone into the development of Thermal Grout Select to insure performance characteristics.
Thermal Grout Select is sold as a two-part product to help reduce unnecessary costs. It is recommended that either both components (both Part I and Part II) be supplied by GeoPro, Inc. or locally obtained material be pre-approved by GeoPro, Inc. in order to insure that the stated physical specifications are achieved. In either event, it is strongly recommended that the user participate in the "Field Quality Control" process. |
| Field Quality Control: |
GeoPro, Inc. will supply, at no charge, three sample containers with return cartons for any commercial project using Thermal Grout Select. Through the course of the project, it is recommended that at least three sample specimens be taken of the mixed grouting material. Once GeoPro receives the sample, an analysis will be performed to verify proper thermal performance (which can be wquated back to the other performance characteristics) with a report being sent to the entity requesting the analysis.
The installation contractor can submit these reports to the engineer of record to verify compliance with the installation specifications. The engineer can utilize these reports to verify that the specified conductivity is achieved and to help verify that the sustem will perform according to design. |
|
Thermal Grout Select has been designed to give both the design engineer and the installation contractor additional options without the need for additional component additives or additional inventories. |
