Gunite
The term gunite
refers to a dry-mix process that was invented in 1909 by naturalist
Carl Akeley. Gunite is a process involving a "mixture
of Portland cement and sand thoroughly mixed dry, passed through
a cement gun and conveyed by air through a flexible tube,
hydrated at a nozzle at the end of such flexible tube and
deposited by air pressure in its place of final repose."
"When
properly mixed and applied, Gunite is extremely strong, dense
and highly resistant to weathering and many forms of chemical
attack. It is heat resistant to a high degree and can be made
more so by substituting refractory aggregates for part or
all of the sand. Resistance to abrasion is extremely high.
The bond to other Gunite, well cleaned masonry or other materials
is equal to or greater than the shearing strength of the material
to which it is applied." (from
"Gunite and Shotrete" by the Gunite Contractors
Association). See the Gunite specifications
page for more information on Gunite and Shotcrete.
