Chemical Grouts

New from 3M Co. are Scotch-Seal brand chemical grouts, water-reactive, hydrophilic polyurethanes which quickly change from a free-flowing liquid to a water impermeable solid.

Properly applied, they can stop water flow through joints or cracks in concrete. Because they remain flexible, they maintain a durable seal even when the concrete is subject to further movement. They bond well to damp concrete without special preparation.

Reportedly effective in a variety of waterproofing and soil consolidation problems, they help to control dust and soil erosion and can be used both for new and remedial construction. The line includes foam, gel and delayed gel. The grouts 5600 and 5610 are EPA approved for use with potable water upon curing.

Efficient Kneeling

Goldblatt Tool Co. has introduced knee boards which enable the concrete finisher to slide from one place on the slab to the next. The contoured shape of the boards eliminates marring the concrete, so there is less to trowel out while moving across the slab.

Made of heavy duty plastic, the boards are durable, easy to clean, and lightweight. They come complete with built-in knee pads, footrests, and carrying straps.
