Daragrout Expand (ST) is an admixture predominantly used for the production of swelling mortars and concretes. It is also used for the manufacture of cementitious mortars with swelling properties for filling, injection into smaller voids for tasks in building and civil engineering constructions or underground structures.

Best results are obtained when Daragrout Expand (ST) is added as the last component to the mix after about half of the total mixing time. However, it can also be added to the concrete or mortar together with the gauging water.

Daragrout Expand (ST) forms micro air bubbles in the plastic cement gel in order to compensate the settlement by increase in volume. Swelling is finalized after 2–4 hours depending on ambient temperatures and proceeds slowly with little pressure so that the grout can encase all surrounding surfaces completely and fill the smallest voids. The formation of pores that effects the swelling is to be considered in advance by incorporating a strength reserve.
