CEMENT-BASED NON-SHRINK NON-CORROSIVE GROUT

DESCRIPTION

PENETRON® GROUT is a ready-to-use, expansion-controlled, non-shrink, non-corrosive, cement-based, high strength

grout for concrete repairing and anchoring. It consists of excellent quality cement and specially graded quartz aggregate.
PENETRON® GROUT is an excellent grout for a wide range of applications, due to its controlled expansion, excellent
flow properties, high strength and low cost.

RECOMMENDED FOR


 Screws and connection pins anchoring  Beams, columns, and heavy machinery or
 Non-shrink repairs and protection from equipment bases
corrosion effect  Factories, refineries, chemical industries, etc.
 Precast wall panels
ADVANTAGES

 Excellent pumping abilities and compressive strength in the early stages, ensuring short setting time
and low cost
 Can be pumped into inaccessible areas
 Can be used at any consistency from fluid to plastic
 Highly fluid for pumped or poured application
 No corrosive effect
 Non-shrink grout, excellent flow properties and controlled expansion, ensuring total filling of the confined space for
excellent grouting and repair
 For large pours, control pouring and increase yield with addition of up to 50% by weight of clean, well graded
aggregate. The use of aggregates lowers the total cost and allows repairs in greater thickness.
 Contains zero volatile organic content (VOC) and is safe for use both outdoors and in indoor spaces
