CIKOgrout GP
Non-shrink, high strength cementitious grout
Description
CIKOgrout GP is a ready to use general purpose
non-shrink, cementitious grout for interior and
exterior use for filling gaps between similar or
dissimilar substrates. CIKOgrout GP is suitable
for anchoring pre-cast columns, anchor bolts
and fence posts, etc.
CIKOgrout GP is a balanced blend of select
cement type, graded Silica aggregate , flow
enhancing and shrinkage compensating
additives resulting in a free-flow, high strength
grout. Physical properties
