General purpose non-shrink grout

WHERE TO USE Mapefill GP, due to its expansive agent, is

Recommended for grouting voids in structural elements characterized by a total absence of shrinkage in the

bridge bearings.

Mapefill GP also has the following qualities:

Some application examples
• excellent impermeability to water;
• Anchoring of mechanical equipments.
• excellent adhesion to rebars and concrete;
• Anchoring of steel bars.
• Filling of rigid joints between elements in concrete and • excellent resistance to dynamic mechanical stress;
precast concrete structures. • modulus of elasticity and thermal expansion
• Execution of underpinning. coefficient similar to those of high-quality concrete;
• Pressure grouting of concrete structures. • Mapefill GP does not contain metallic aggregates;
• Grouting of machine baseplates, bridge bearings. • non-toxic;
• Concrete repair. • non-corrosive;
• chloride-free.
