High performance concrete jointing grout for large office development

This large commercial office development in Leeds needed a high-performance grout to finish the joints of the concrete supporting columns. Pozament CemThix high early strength jointing grout offered a fast, effective solution.

After discussion on the client’s requirements, Tarmac’s Specialist Products team recommended Pozament CemThix installation grout, a high early strength grout designed for grouting of joints between linked precast segments and structural support of precast panels. It has a thixotrophic and shrink resisting formula that means that it flows freely while being pumped into place but then sets and remains in place once pumping is complete. It also achieves a rapid strength gain of 27 N/mm2 after 1 day, 48 N/mm2 after 7 days and 70 N/mm2 after 28 days. Pozament CemThix is also chloride free so it can safely be used in contact with steel bolts and reinforcement bars without risk of causing corrosion. Like all Pozament products, CemThix Installation Grout is factory blended, tested and packaged to high standards of quality control procedures in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001.
