Technical information
ULTIBALLAST
The technical performance of ULTIBALAST can be engineered to meet ship or structure requirements. It is non-flammable and conforms to MARPOL and the IBC codes for toxicity.
Density Range = 1.5t/m3 up to 5.0 t/m3
Non-Magnetic options available up to 3.6t/m3
Density can be modified during installation.
ULTIBALLAST has been tested to establish a pH 12 rating.
Material strength classes are:
- Fully Stiffened = 18 – 24N/mm2
- Semi Stiffened = 12 – 18N/mm2
- Non Stiffened = 5 – 12N/mm2
The residual moisture is typically less than 10% by weight after consolidation to a semi-solid like mass.
Through the migration of moisture to the surface, Ultiballast will settle into a homogeneous mass, reaching a maximum settlement of 0.3cm per 30cm depth.
Setting times usually between 8 and 12 hours, fully set and material strength achieved after 28 days.
