Fosroc Conbextra GP2 Epoxy Grout is supplied as a ready to use dry powder. The addition of a controlled amount of clean water produces a free flowing, non-shrink grout for gap thicknesses up to 100mm.
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 fillers 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
Excellent Mechanical StrengthWith compressive strengths exceeding 70 MPa after seven days and a flexural strength surpassing 11 MPa at 28 days, Fosroc Conbextra GP2 delivers outstanding mechanical performance. Its robust formulation ensures long-term load-bearing capacity for demanding industrial and infrastructure projects.
Superior Flow and PlacementDesigned as a high flow, self-levelling epoxy grout, Conbextra GP2 ensures precise and effortless application, even in challenging environments or tight spaces. This property is critical for the accurate positioning of base plates and machine foundations, eliminating voids and inconsistencies.
Safe and Reliable StorageThe grout is supplied in 25 kg bags with a 12-month shelf life in unopened, original packaging. It must be stored in a cool, dry place, shielded from direct sunlight to preserve its properties. The chloride-free composition guarantees safety and durability for reinforced structures.
FAQ's of Fosroc Conbextra GP2 Epoxy Grout Powder:
Q: How is Fosroc Conbextra GP2 epoxy grout powder typically used?
A: Conbextra GP2 is primarily used for precision grouting tasks such as securing base plates, machine foundations, structural columns, bolt anchoring, and stanchions in both industrial and infrastructure projects.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Conbextra GP2 epoxy grout?
A: This grout offers non-shrink properties, high early and ultimate compressive strength, excellent flow characteristics, and is free from chlorides, ensuring long-term durability and safety for critical structural applications.
Q: When can the grouted area be subjected to loads after applying Conbextra GP2?
A: The grout develops more than 50 MPa compressive strength within 24 hours at 30C, allowing early loading. Full strength is achieved in seven days, with a final set reached within 6-7 hours under typical conditions.
Q: Where should Conbextra GP2 be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: Store the product in its original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the shelf life is up to 12 months.
Q: What is the proper process for mixing and applying Fosroc Conbextra GP2?
A: Mix the powder with water according to the manufacturer's instructions until a uniform, lump-free, free-flowing grout is achieved. Pour or pump the mixture immediately after mixing to ensure proper placement and flow.
Q: Is Conbextra GP2 suitable for reinforced concrete structures?
A: Yes, Conbextra GP2 is free from chlorides (as per BS: 5075) and is non-shrink, making it safe and suitable for use in reinforced concrete applications without causing corrosion.
