Preparation
|
|
Reinforced concrete
foundation, 3'x3'x2' |
|
Choose correct type of
Dexpan based on rock / concrete temperature. |
|
Safety goggles, dust mask, rubber gloves, long sleeve cloth are required.

Step 1: Drilling
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
Drill holes using a
hammer drill and appropriate drill bit specific
to the rock or concrete type.
-
Holes should be
drilled no further than
1 ft (30 cm) apart.
Note: In reinforced concrete recommended no more
than 8 in (20 cm) apart.
-
Recommended hole
diameter is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), not to exceed 2 in
(5 cm). Drill holes should be 80-90% of the
depth, do not go through.

Step 2: Mixing
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
In a flat bottom
bucket, combine 0.4 gallons (1.5 l) of water with
one 11 lb. (5 kgs) bag of
Dexpan®.
-
Mix well (a drill
and paddle is recommended). If mixing with a
stick or other method, make sure Dexpan®
is completely dissolved into the water. Mix to a
slurry.

Step 3: Filling
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
Warning! Use of
Dexpan in Extreme Hot Temperature could cause
blowouts.
-
Clean holes before
filling. Using an air hose to remove excess dust
from drilling.
-
Dexpan®
slurry should be poured into holes within
10-15
minutes after mixing. Do not fill to the top,
only fill the holes about 1/2 to 1 inch (2.5 cm)
from the top.
-
Pour well mixed
Dexpan® slurry into holes. Agitating
the Dexpan® in the hole to make sure
no air is trapped in holes. Suggestion: Use a
rod or stick to poke holes.
-
A grout pump might
be required to fill horizontal holes. Caps might
be needed for horizontal holes, but only
necessary to hold Dexpan® in the
holes.

Dexpan
Coverage and
Cracking Time |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dexpan Coverage:
Normally one 44 lbs (20
kgs) box of Dexpan® can fill up to
35
lineal feet (10 m) of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) diameter
holes. You might not have to fill every hole
depending on application. |
|
Dexpan
Cracking or Cutting Time:
Properly mixed, the
cracks may appear after 2~8 hours of filling drilled
holes, depending on ambient temperature, humidity,
rock or concrete hardness. Give it
24 hours for best
results. |

WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
and FIRST AID |
|
Read safety and operation instruction CAREFULLY. (

A pair of safety goggles,
rubber gloves and a
dust mask is REQUIRED. Avoid eyes, skin
contact. Do not breathe dust. If eye or skin contact
should occur, rinse it off IMMEDIATELY with plenty
of water for at least 20 minutes, and consult doctor.
WARNING!
DO NOT look directly into filled holes as blowouts
may occur.
Keep Dexpan® in DRY storage. SEAL
Dexpan container after use.
Select the correct type of Dexpan® based
on rock / concrete temperature. |

Dexpan
Usage Tips |
|
Well designed hole drilling pattern will minimize
consumption of Dexpan® by cutting into
desired sizes.
To insure success, Dexpan® needs free
space to expand to.
For better results, it is important to note both air
and material temperature. Material temperature is
the temperature inside of the rock or concrete which
can be different from the air temperature.
In summer, the best time to use Dexpan®
is in the morning or evening when material
temperature is cool.
In summer, cover Dexpan holes from direct sunlight to avoid
blow-out. Example: using a tarp or damp hay to
provide shade.
If Dexpan® completely dries into powder
and did NOT crack, pour additional water onto Dexpan®
filled holes.
Wear goggles, blowouts may occur. |
