Features
Controlled expansion ensures a rigid bond between the base plate and the concrete foundation. Versatile and can be prepared to flowable or pumpable consistency. Chloride-free and non-corrosive. High compressive strength. Suitable for grouting operations with gap widths of 10mm to 100mm.
Substrate Preparation
The substrate must be hard, sound, and free of dust, dirt, and other loose material. The underside of the base plate should be free of rust, oil, grease, or other contaminants that could hinder the bond. The minimum gap width of 10mm should be maintained between the base plate and the foundation. Ensure soaking of the prepared surface with clean water for a minimum of 24 hours before starting the grouting operation. Prior to grouting, remove all standing water using a high-powered blower, taking care to blow out water from the bolt holes and pockets.
Uses
SG-Grout is ideal for precision grouting of heavy machinery base plates, compressors, generators, and other equipment requiring high strength properties. It is also suitable for grouting anchor bolts, prefabricated concrete panels, bore packing, and void filling.
