Non Shrink Grout Solutions for Precision, Strength & Long-Term Stability

In modern construction, even a small gap can weaken the strength of an entire structure.
Non shrink grout is specially designed to fill these gaps without volume loss, ensuring load transfer remains uniform and reliable over time.

Unlike other types of grouting materials, non shrink grout expands slightly while setting. This controlled expansion helps eliminate voids, improves bonding, and provides permanent support to structural elements.

At Multichem Group, we manufacture and supply high-performance non shrink grout systems that meet international standards and perform reliably across global construction environments.

What Is Non Shrink Grout?

Non shrink grout is a specially formulated grouting material that does not shrink after placement.
It is used to fill spaces between structural components where strength, precision, and durability are critical.

Buildings, machines, and foundations experience vibration, load changes, and temperature variation.
A conventional grout may shrink over time, creating gaps that lead to cracks or failure.

Non shrink grout material avoids this risk by maintaining full contact with surrounding surfaces throughout its service life.

Why Non Shrink Grout Is Important in Construction

Structural gaps are unavoidable during installation of base plates, columns, and machinery.
If these gaps are not filled correctly, load distribution becomes uneven.

Using a reliable non shrink grout ensures:

  • Full load transfer
  • Reduced vibration
  • Improved structural safety
  • Longer service life

It also reduces maintenance needs, which is especially important for industrial and infrastructure projects.

Types of Non Shrink Grout Solutions We Offer

1. Grouting Additives for Enhanced Performance

Grouting additives are used to modify grout properties such as flow, setting time, and strength.
They improve workability and ensure consistent performance even in challenging site conditions.

These additives are widely used in precision grouting and repair applications.

2. Cement Grouts for Structural Applications

Cement grout is commonly used for anchoring bolts, columns, and precast elements.
Our cement-based non shrink grouts offer high compressive strength and excellent bonding.

They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor structural works.

3. Epoxy Grouts for Heavy Load Areas

Epoxy grouts are ideal where high chemical resistance and load-bearing strength are required.
They are commonly used in machinery foundations, industrial plants, and power facilities.

These grouts provide excellent durability with minimal maintenance.

4. Polymer Grouts for Flexible Performance

Polymer grouts are chosen where standard grouting materials may struggle. They offer a strong bond while also providing added flexibility, which is especially useful in areas exposed to vibration, moisture, or light chemical contact.

Because of these properties, polymer grouts perform well in both repair works and new construction, particularly where movement or environmental stress is expected.

5. PU Injection Grouting for Crack Sealing

PU injection grouting is used to seal cracks and control water ingress in concrete structures.
It expands inside cracks, forming a durable and watertight seal.

This method is especially effective for basements, tunnels, and underground structures.

Key Features of Our Non Shrink Grout Systems

  • Controlled expansion to prevent shrinkage
  • High early and long-term strength
  • Excellent flowability for easy placement
  • Strong adhesion to concrete and steel
  • Durable performance under dynamic loads

Each formulation is tested to meet demanding site and environmental conditions.

Applications of Non Shrink Grout

Non shrink grout is used across a wide range of construction and industrial applications, including:

  • Machine base plates and equipment foundations
  • Structural column and beam connections
  • Anchor bolts and bearing plates
  • Precast concrete installations
  • Repair and rehabilitation projects

Its reliability makes it essential in both new builds and retrofit works.

How to Choose the Right Non Shrink Grout Material

Selecting the right grout depends on load requirements, exposure conditions, and application type. For heavy machinery, epoxy grouts may be preferred.

For most general construction applications, cementitious non shrink grout remains a practical and cost-effective solution. It delivers dependable strength, easy application, and consistent results when used correctly.

With proper technical guidance and correct material selection, long-term performance and structural reliability can be achieved without unnecessary complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Non Shrink Grout

Non shrink grout is a specially designed grout that does not reduce in volume after placement. It fills gaps completely, ensuring strong load transfer and long-term structural stability.

Non shrink grout is widely used for machine base plates, columns, anchor bolts, precast joints, bridge bearings, and structural repairs where precision and strength matter.

Unlike normal cement grout, non shrink grout expands slightly to compensate for shrinkage. This helps avoid voids, cracks, and loss of contact between structural elements.

Epoxy grout is preferred in areas exposed to heavy loads, chemicals, vibration, or moisture. It offers higher strength, chemical resistance, and faster curing than cement grout.

Yes, certain non shrink grout formulations are designed to withstand high temperatures, vibrations, and harsh industrial conditions when selected correctly.

Multichem’s versatile cement mixes modifiers/admixtures are specifically designed to enhance cementitious mixes in order to achieve improved mechanical and chemical characteristics with excellent resistance to oil, water, and abrasion. PrimeGrout SuperAdd is used as an additive in cement or concrete and is most suited for grouting honeycombed or weak concrete structures to increase the compressive strength of the mass.

PrimeGrout cement grouts with metallic or mineral aggregates are specially engineered to produce highly flowing, non-bleed, zero-shrink grouts with extended working time. These hydraulic grouts, when set, produce a volume equal to or slightly higher than the original. Cementitious PrimeGrouts are economical, easy to use, and produce high compressive strength. Cement-based grouts with non-shrink characteristics are used for filling and grouting baseplates in steel-framed buildings, machinery beds, crane rails, balustrades, bridge bearing pads, and dowel bars. They can be used from “dry pack” to highly flowable consistencies without compromising strength and non-shrink properties.

 

PrimeGrout EP Epoxy grouts are engineered for corrosive environments and high dynamic load-bearing capacity. Multichem produces the PrimeGrout EP range of grouts for precision heavy machinery grouting and strengthening.

AnchorFast grouts are designed for anchoring hold-down bolts, stays, cable anchors, and reinforced steel bars with quick-setting properties.

Hydrofom 100, 200, and 201 are advanced polyurethane injection grouts designed to stop water leaks in concrete structures, with variations offering two-component or single-component formulations for different sealing and waterproofing applications.
