Conbextra TS

1. Conbextra TS is a non-shrink cementitious grout containing aggregates that is suitable for grouting thick voids between 50-500mm. 2. It has high compressive strength, is non-metallic, resistant to impact loading, and does not require site-batched aggregates. 3. Conbextra TS is supplied as a ready-to-use dry mix and produces a fluid grout when mixed with a controlled amount of water that is highly flowable and can be poured or pumped into place.
