About Fosroc Conbextra GP2 Grouting Compound Non-shrink Grout, For Construction, 25 Kg
Main uses
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.
Advantages
- Gaseous expansion system compensates for shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state
- No metallic iron content to cause staining Pre-packed material overcomes onsite batching variations
- Develops high early strength without the use of chlorides
- High ultimate strength ensure the durability of the hardened grout
- Free flow ensures high level of contact with load bearing area
Exceptional Performance and VersatilityConbextra GP2 boasts a high early and ultimate compressive strength, making it suitable for demanding construction requirements. Its flowable, non-shrink nature allows easy installation through pouring or pumping, ensuring precision when anchoring bolts, machinery, or columns. This grout is suited for use with concrete, steel, and precast structural elements.
Reliable Quality and EfficiencyThis grout meets ASTM C 1107 Type C standards and is formulated to be chloride-free, safeguarding structures against corrosion. With a 12-month shelf life and high flowability, Conbextra GP2 guarantees speedy and precise application with minimal wastage, supporting efficient site productivity.
