The expansive pressure of Bustar is progressive and proportional to the time elapsed since loading. Power increases as time passes. Although fragmentation takes place within 12 to 24 hours, the progressive action of Bustar expansive grout continues for four days in warm weather and eight days in cool weather, reaching a pressure of over 7000 T/m^2 (rock and concrete break at between 1500 and 3000 T/m^2). Note that core temperature, water temperature, or ambient conditions may effect cracking time.
