CERA GROUT 40

High strength, non-shrink, free flowing grout

An ISO 9001:2015 Company

CERA GROUT 40 is a high strength non-shrink, pourable / pumpable grout for industrial
applications. Premixed, selectively graded components result in a dense, homogenous mix,
with excellent strength and dimensional stability.

ADVANTAGES:
 Excellent fluidity for easy placements
 Accessibility to remote parts of structure
 One-step grout, Ready to use
 High early strength and uniform set, minimizes downtime for repairs and
maintenance, allows earlier loading
 Dimensionally stable, needs no special treatment at open ends, capping or edges
 No bleeding / segregation
 Densification of material decreases permeability, increases wear resistance
 Resistant to oils, chemicals etc
 No efflorescence

FUNCTION: RECOMMENDED METHOD OF

CERA GROUT 40 develops a slight, but
controlled expansion, beginning at the
time of placement, resulting in excellent
dimensional stability. It ensures that no
major voids are left even in areas that are
remotely accessible. Because of its non-
shrink characteristics, it remains stable in
place without cracking, crumbling or
delamination.
APPLICATION:
Surface Preparation: All areas to be
grouted shall be clean and free of laitance,
grease, dirt and contaminants. All loose
material shall be removed. In case of
repair, the concrete must be hacked back
until a sound surface is obtained. All
metal components shall be de-rusted and
made free of paints or oils.

USES: The prepared concrete surface should be

CERA GROUT 40 can be used for
grouting of precast structural members
and to joints, dowels, rail posts and sealing
bolts, powerline stanchions etc.
CERA GROUT 40 compensates for the
normal shrinkage of concrete and mortar,
absorbs, and minimizes the effects of
vibration on foundation.
CERA GROUT 40 can be used in
machinery bases, structural columns,
pumps and accessory bases, anchor bolts,
bearing plates, floor grids, crane tracks etc.

saturated before application, with clean
water. Remove excess water from voids
and holes prior to grouting.
Form Work:
For machine and column bases, firm form
work should be provided which will allow
for rapid and continuous placement of the
grout and complete filling of space to be
grouted.
Support elements should be anchored so
that no movement is possible. Removal
of formwork should be done only after
CERA GROUT 40 has hardened
properly.
Mixing:
