CEM-GROUT is a non-shrink, cementitious precision grout that provides extended working time and exceptional physical performance. Cem Grout is a blend of Portland cement, graded aggregates and admixtures making is highly strong, tensile, and reliable.
Key Features
- Excellent initial flow and flow retention High ultimate strength and low permeability
- ensure durability of the hardened grout Suitable for pumping or pouring over a large range of application consistencies and temperatures
- Shrinkage compensating properties
- Good flow characteristics
- Adjustable consistency
- Good impact and thermal resistance
- Non-corrosive to steel or iron
Application
- Machine base plates/ heavy equipment
- Bedding joints in precast concrete sections
- Filling voids, cavities, gaps, and recesses
- Sealing around penetrations
- Bridge bearing pads
- Mass grouting
- Anchor bolt

Application Steps
Mixing
- Make sure all forming, mixing, placing, and clean-up materials are on hand.
- Add the appropriate amount of water of clean potable water (approx. 70 °F) into a suitably sized and clean mixing container, using a calibrated measuring jug, or similar, to ensure strict control of the water content (do not over-water).
- Add 1 bag while continuing to mix with a low-speed drill (400-600 rpm) and mixing paddle or a jiffy paddle or in an appropriate mortar mixer.
- Once all the powder has been added, mix for approximately 3 minutes, until a lump-free and uniform consistency is achieved. Do not over mix.
- For warmer temperatures use cold water and for colder temperatures use warm water.
- Refer to Guidelines when there is a need to place this grout in cold & hot temperatures.
Application
- Within 15 minutes after mixing, place grout into forms in normal manner to avoid air entrapment.
- Vibrate, pump, or ram grout as necessary to achieve flow or compaction.
- Mixed grout in mass will result in faster than expected setting times.
- The product must be confined leaving minimum exposed surface.
- After grout has achieved final set, remove forms, and shape exposed grout shoulders to designed profile.
Curing Treatment
- Wet cure for a minimum of 3 days
