Description
UCOGROUT - GP is a pre-mixed cementitious grout with both high early and ultimate
strengths. UCOGROUT - GP has excellent flow properties and will not shrink after placing.
UCOGROUT - GP is simple to use and only requires the addition of water to produce a fluid grout.
UCOGROUT - GP is free from corrosive substances.
Properties
In common with other cementitious products, the properties of UCOGROUT - GP depend upon the water cement ratio used.
UCOGROUT - GP will stay pourable for approximately 20 minutes at 20°C, any
material unused after this time should be discarded. UCOGROUT - GP is suitable for use in gap
width of between 10-50 mm. For applications below 10 mm, alternative materials may be
used. Please contact our
Technical Department for material may be built up on layers not exceeding
50 mm. Alternatively, UCOGROUT - GP may be bulked out by the addition of approximately 6kg of 6mm
pea-gravel to each bag. This will allow thickness up to 100 mm to be achieved in one pour.
Where to use
- Machines base plates.
- Columns in pre-cast construction
- Cavities, gaps and crane rail Bridge bearing pads, Boiler foundations.
- Grouting of stanchion bases struts railings and guard rail assemblies.
- Grouting of tracks and transformers

Method of use
The substrate should be sound, clean and free from contamination. Concrete and other mineral surfaces should be carefully
pre-wetted and all surplus water removed prior to the application of Ucogrout - GP. Use oil free compressed air to blow out bolt holes etc. as necessary. Ensure base plates, bolts
etc. are clean and free of oil, grease and paint. Set and align
equipment - if shield are to be
removed after the grout has set, then lightly grease them to facilitate easy removal.
The Ucogrout - GP should be mixed with the correct amount of water, preferably by mechanical means, for a
minimum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes. Do not mix more material then can be used in 20 minutes. The powder should never be poured into
still water.
The fluid grout should be poured from one and only. Ensure that air displaced by the fluid grout is allowed to escape when carrying out base plate grouting. Ensure sufficient grout head of pressure is maintained to keep grout flowing about
200 mm. After grout is initially set keep the grout
damp by covering with polythene or damp hessian.
Storage Life
Ucogrout - GP has a shelf life of one year in manufacturer's unopened sacks. |
