Buzzi Unicem USA Inc. Utility Fill – One Step ® Rapid Hardening Pre-Packaged Cementitious Fill, Formulated for the “Core Bore Process” Engineered for Quality – Outstanding Results Buzzi Unicem USA Inc. Exclusive Manufacturer of Ultimax® Cement Utility Fill – One Step ® Description: N0 Mixing: Utility Fill – One Step® is a pre-packaged, rapid hardening, sulfate resistant, cementitious fill that requires no mixing, just the addition of potable water. Utility Fill – One Step® is used in place of compacted soil, granular fill and other backfill materials. The setting properties of Utility Fill – One Step® facilitate load bearing properties, which allows concrete topping, asphalt paving or the core re-insertion process to begin within one hour after adding water. Utility Fill – One Step® is a pre-blended, packaged, mineral fill material formulated to require no mechanical or hand mixing. Pour Utility Fill – One Step® directly into the fill area and add .75 to 1 gallon of water per bag. For optimum Utility Fill – One Step® performance, saturated fill material temperature should be above 68º. The use of warm water in cool weather will be sufficient to achieve this requirement. Product Data: This rapid hardening material utilizes Qwix™, a hydraulic, cementitious mineral blend (ASTM C 219), high in calcium sulfate aluminum crystals. Qwix™, blended with portland cement produces a modified type of portland cement called Ultimax® Cement. Ultimax® Cement is a patented formula for a blended, hydraulic, non-shrinkage, high performance cement that exceeds the requirements of ASTM C-1157. Color: Gray Form: Powder Delivery: Available in 50 pound bags. Storage: Store as dry cement. Shelf Life: One year in original unopened pallets. Material Safety Data Sheets: Benefits: Reduced In-Place-Costs –Utility Fill – One Step® requires no mechanical mixing, eliminating costs associated with mixing equipment, mixing time and clean-up. Fast Project Turn-Around - The rapid hardening properties of Utility Fill – One Step® allows for earlier, higher load carrying capability so roadways can be opened to traffic, within one hour of placement. Reduced Project Costs – The fast setting properties of Utility Fill – One Step®, eliminates the need for plating and overnight safety barriers. Re-excavation - Utility Fill – One Step® can be easily excavated and the environmentally safe material can be re-used as granular material or disposed of as regular construction material. Specifications: Utility Fill – One Step ® was tested in accordance with the following ASTM Standards: ASTM C 109 -01 Standard test for compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars. ASTM C 226 -01 Standard test for time of set of hydraulic cement by Gilmore Needle. Available upon request. Precautions: Hydraulic cement when dry is non-hazardous. When in contact with moisture (such as eyes or on skin) or when mixed with water to make grout, it becomes highly caustic and will burn the eyes or skin. Inhalation of dry portland cement can irritate the upper respiratory system. Typical Physical Properties: Strength: 7 Day - 85 PSI 28 Day - 90 PSI Set Time: Initial set - 10 mins. Final Set - 20 mins. Flowability: Dry Placement – Flow is not measured. Load Bearing: Immediately upon final set.
