Grout consists of cement, sand, water, and a series of additives. Grout is usually used for places that require high strength and deep cracking. Grout is also used to subdue heavy equipment. Grout's application is similar to mortar.
Necessity of application and benefits:
- To fill in a variety of limited and open gaps
- Production of concrete and expandable concrete with controlled volume
- Connecting prefabricated and concrete components
- To seal concrete slits and joint seams in prefabricated concrete
- Fill in the voids around the concrete and joints around the bar
- Injection into the dam and tunnel
- In repair work that replacement concrete should be without shrinkage
- Reduce concrete cracking and shrinkage
- Reduce concrete thawing
- Increased shear, flexural, compressive and tensile strength
- Concrete and mortar expansion of about 2% for unbounded concrete
- Reduce corrosion of steel and bars
- Fill the void below the pillar plate to a depth of 20 cm
- Faster capture of concrete and accelerate final surface finish
- Compatibility with different types of Portland cement and precast
- Protect post-tensioned cables
- Machine base fixation
- Connecting steel and concrete surfaces
