Frequently Asked Questions About Penatech GP Grout

Q: How should Penatech GP Grout be applied under base plates?

A: For base plates, use a gravity-fed header box system. Ensure the formwork is watertight, maintain a consistent grout head, and pour from one side only to avoid air entrapment.

Q: How does Penatech GP Grout perform under high loads and vibration?

A: It offers high early and ultimate compressive strength with excellent durability, making it suitable for dynamic loads and vibration-prone applications like crane rails and machinery bases.

Q: Is Penatech GP Grout compatible with pre-cast concrete and steel substrates?

A: Yes, it bonds effectively with clean, saturated-surface-dry concrete and properly prepared steel. It’s commonly used in precast concrete and anchor bolt applications.

Q: What should I do if the grout begins to stiffen during application?

A: Do not add water to re-temper. Discard any grout that has stiffened. Always mix fresh batches and maintain continuous application to avoid cold joints.

Q: What safety measures are necessary during use?

A: Wear gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid direct skin contact. Refer to the MSDS for full safety information.

Use Penatech GP Grout for:

  • Grouting heavy machinery base plates in industrial plants
  • Structural anchoring of bolts and steel columns
  • Precast concrete panel placement and core hole filling
  • Crane rail and bridge bearing pad installation

Why Use Penatech GP Grout:

  • Exceptional strength ensures long-lasting structural support
  • Non-shrink formulation prevents cracking and voids
  • Outstanding flowability simplifies installation and reduces labour time
  • Tested and compliant with industry standards for peace of mind

How to apply Penatech GP Grout:

  1. Clean substrate of dust, oil, or contaminants. Pre-soak concrete for 4 hours, removing excess water before grouting.
  2. Set up watertight formwork with venting holes. Coat with release oil if needed.
  3. Mix Penatech GP Grout with clean water using a high-shear mixer or paddle drill. Mix for 3–5 minutes to a smooth consistency.
  4. Pour or pump from one side using a grout head or header box to avoid air entrapment.
  5. Cure the exposed grout with plastic sheeting or curing compound immediately after placement.

Penatech GP Grout limitations:

  • Do not mix by hand—mechanical mixing is required
  • Do not add extra water beyond specified limits
  • Unrestrained areas must be minimised to avoid cracking
  • Not suitable for dry porous substrates—pre-soak thoroughly

Safety precautions when using Penatech GP Grout:

  • Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves, goggles, long sleeves
  • Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation
  • Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact, wash hands after use
  • Refer to MSDS for full safety procedures and emergency advice

Penatech GP Grout can be used on the following substrates:

  • Concrete – must be clean, roughened, and pre-soaked
  • Steel – must be free of oil, rust, and contaminants
  • Precast concrete – ensure tight formwork and proper saturation
