Hidden beneath machinery, columns, and base plates, grouts play a silent yet critical role in construction. Non-shrink grouts provide the strength, precision, and durability required to support heavy loads and ensure structural stability. Fortune Chemicals’ non-shrink grouts deliver unmatched performance in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Discover how reliable grouting ensures stability that lasts for decades.
Strength Beneath the Surface: The Role of Non-Shrink Grouts
1. Why Non-Shrink Grouts Matter
Grouts are essential for transferring loads between structural elements. In heavy-duty applications such as machine foundations, bridge bearings, and column bases, gaps or shrinkage in ordinary mortar can compromise stability. Non-shrink grouts solve this problem by maintaining volume after curing, ensuring a solid and durable bond.
2. Key Properties of Non-Shrink Grouts
- High Compressive Strength – Withstands heavy static and dynamic loads.
- Non-Shrink Performance – Eliminates voids and maintains complete contact.
- Free Flow & Easy Placement – Can penetrate tight spaces and fill gaps effectively.
- Durability – Resistant to vibration, weathering, and chemical attack.
3. Applications of Non-Shrink Grouts
- Base plate grouting for columns and machine foundations.
- Anchoring bolts, dowels, and rails.
- Bridge bearings and precast element connections.
- Repairing voids and cavities in structural concrete.
4. Fortune Chemicals’ Grouting Solutions
Our range of grouts is engineered for precision and strength:
- Non-Shrink Cementitious Grouts – For general-purpose structural applications.
- Epoxy-Based Pourable & Flow able Grouts – For extreme load-bearing and chemical resistance.
- Rapid Hardening Grouts – For projects requiring early strength gain and quick turnaround.
5. Long-Term Benefits
By ensuring stability, non-shrink grouts not only improve the performance of structures but also extend their life cycle. They reduce maintenance, prevent settlement issues, and provide confidence in both industrial and infrastructure projects.
Conclusion
Non-shrink grouts are more than just fillers — they are structural guardians that ensure safety, strength, and reliability. At Fortune Chemicals, our advanced grouting solutions are trusted by engineers to support the foundations of progress.
