What is the purpose of GP2?

Conbextra GP2 is used for precision grouting where it is essential to withstand static and dynamic loads. Typical applications would be the grouting of base plates of turbines, compressors, boiler feed pumps etc., It can also be used for anchoring a wide range of fixings.

What is GP2 grout?

Conbextra GP2 is a blend of Portland cement, graded fillers and chemical additives which impart controlled expansion in the plastic state whilst minimising water demand. The low water demand ensures high early strength. The graded fi llers are designed to assist uniform mixing and produce a consistent grout.

Which cement can be used for grouting purpose?

These include a wide range of cements from ordinary Portland cement (OPC), microfine cements (MFC) and ultrafine cements (UFC) are used for grouting purpose.

How do you mix GP2 grout?

The selected water content should be accurately measured into the mixer. Slowly add the total contents of the Conbextra GP bag, mix continuously for 5 minutes, ensuring a smooth, even consistency is obtained. Place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain the full benefit of the expansion process.

What is crack grouting?

Injection grouting is a process of filling the cracks, voids or honeycombs under pressure in concrete or masonry structural members for repairing of cracks, strengthening of damaged concrete or masonry structural members.

What is grouting injection?

Injection grouting is the method of filling the cracks, open joints, voids, or honeycombs, in concrete or masonry structural members. This is done under pressure with a grout material that cures in place to produce the desired results like strengthening a structure and preventing water ingress.

What do you understand by grouting?

Grouting is the process of injecting material into cavities or cracks in concrete, masonry structure, soil, rock-mass to increase the structure’s load-bearing capacity refers to grouting and the material used for this objective is called grout.

How do I calculate how much grout I need?

To work out how much grout you’ll need, follow this easy 6-step calculation: Step 1: Tile width (mm) + tile height (mm) = A. Step 2: Size of spacers (mm) x tile thickness (mm) = B. Step 3: A x B x 1.2 (this number is the coverage ratio of all UltraTile grouts) = C.
