A grouting composition for sealing a borehole or other cavity comprising 90-99.9% finely divided water swellable clay and 0.1-10% thinner. The grouting composition is mixed with fresh water to provide a completely reswellable, unflocculated, easily placed, low permeability sealing composition. The thinner allows a very high concentration of water-swellable clay in the composition. A preferred grouting composition comprises 98-99.9% sodium bentonite and 0.1-2% polyacrylate thinner. In use, 50 lb. of the preferred grouting composition is mixed with 11-14 gallons fresh water, to provide a grouting mixture which comprises about 30-35% reswellable solids. |
