ARDEX CE 580 Advantages

• High early strength – designed to achieve rapid strength development.

• Trafficable after 2 hours – helps minimise downtime and accelerate return to service.

• Excellent flowability – designed for effective placement and filling.

• Class C grout – suitable for specified permanent grouting applications.

• Low shrinkage – designed to minimise shrinkage during hardening.

• Excellent durability properties – suitable for demanding permanent applications.

• High chloride resistance – provides resistance in chloride-exposed environments.

• High sulphate resistance – suitable for applications where sulphate exposure is a consideration.

• Pumpable – suitable for appropriate pumped grout applications.

• Highly fluid – provides excellent flow characteristics.

• No segregation – designed to maintain a consistent mixture during placement.

• Permanent application suitability – designed for long-term performance in civil engineering and construction applications.

High Early Strength for Rapid Return to Service

ARDEX CE 580 is specifically formulated for projects where time is critical.

Its high early strength characteristics allow the grout to develop strength rapidly, while its ability to become trafficable after 2 hours can help significantly reduce downtime.

This makes ARDEX CE 580 particularly useful for:

• Road and transport infrastructure

• Civil engineering projects

• Time-critical repairs

• Infrastructure maintenance

• Areas requiring rapid reopening

• Permanent grouting applications

• Projects where construction downtime must be minimised

Class C Low-Shrinkage Grout

ARDEX CE 580 is a Class C, low-shrinkage cementitious grout.

Its specially formulated blend of aggregates and advanced cement additives is designed to provide controlled dimensional behaviour while maintaining the high-performance characteristics required for permanent applications.

The low-shrinkage formulation is complemented by excellent durability and resistance to aggressive environmental conditions.

Excellent Flowability

ARDEX CE 580 provides excellent flowability and is formulated to be highly fluid without segregation.

This combination allows the grout to flow effectively into suitable spaces while maintaining a consistent mixture.

Highly Fluid – No Segregation

The highly fluid, non-segregating formulation makes ARDEX CE 580 suitable for applications where effective flow and uniform grout placement are important.

Always follow the manufacturer's current technical documentation for mixing, pumping, placement and curing requirements.

Pumpable Grout

ARDEX CE 580 is pumpable and highly fluid, making it suitable for appropriate pumped grout applications.

Its long-range flow characteristics can assist with placement on larger construction and infrastructure projects where manual placement may not be practical.

High Chloride & Sulphate Resistance

ARDEX CE 580 provides high resistance to chlorides and sulphates, making it suitable for demanding environments where exposure to these aggressive elements is a consideration.

Combined with its excellent durability properties and low permeability, this makes it suitable for permanent civil engineering and infrastructure applications.

Permanent Civil Engineering Applications

ARDEX CE 580 is designed for permanent applications where long-term performance, durability and early strength development are important.

Potential applications include:

• Civil engineering grouting

• Infrastructure construction

• Road and transport infrastructure

• Permanent structural grouting

• Rapid-return-to-service repairs

• High-strength grouting applications

• Pumped grout applications

• Time-critical construction projects

• Areas requiring rapid traffic reinstatement

The specific suitability of ARDEX CE 580 should always be confirmed against the project requirements and the manufacturer's current technical documentation.

Trafficable After 2 Hours

One of the major advantages of ARDEX CE 580 is its ability to provide a rapid return to service.

Trafficable after 2 hours

This characteristic can be particularly valuable for infrastructure and construction projects where closing an area for extended periods is impractical.

For road, transport and other traffic-sensitive applications, rapid reinstatement can help reduce disruption and project downtime.

Always confirm trafficability requirements and installation conditions against the manufacturer's current technical documentation.
