Contractor Overview

SC Metallic Grout is a metallic, cement-based grout. Non-shrink Metallic Grout SC METALLIC GROUT is a robust, metallic, cement-based grout, designed for heavy industrial use in environments like steel mill production facilities. It handles dynamic and repetitive loading exceptionally well.

Best For

  • Heavy equipment base plates
  • Machine bases
  • Column bases and anchor bolts
  • Industrial grouting where metallic aggregate is specified

Key Features

  • Metallic grout system
  • Designed for load-bearing grouting
  • Used for equipment and base plate support

Material & Application Notes

Metal contact surfaces should be free of rust, oil, grease, and contaminants. Concrete must be sound and roughened; SSD preparation is recommended before placement.

Why Contractors Choose It

Contractors choose SC Metallic Grout when the specification calls for a metallic grout with strong bearing support under industrial equipment or base plates.

Application

Preparation

  • Ensure all surfaces are clean, oil-free, and roughened to enhance bonding.
  • Metal in contact with the grout must be free of rust and contaminants.
  • Substrate should be saturated surface dry (SSD) before grouting, with no excess water.

Mixing

  • Mix in two phases to achieve desired consistency, starting with 2/3 of the water before adding the grout.
  • Add the remaining water after partial mixing.
  • Mix for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring no more than 30 minutes elapse before placement.

Placing

  • Ensure continuous, quick placement from one side to avoid air entrapment.
  • Maintain a minimum of 1-inch vertical clearance for base plate grouting.

Curing

  • Cover immediately with clean, wet rags and keep moist until final set.
  • Afterward, apply an ASTM-C-309 compliant curing compound like SpecChem Cure & Seal 25.

Packaging

Available in 50 lb bags.

Shelf Life

One year from the date of manufacture when stored properly in a cool, dry interior area away from moisture.

Uses

SC METALLIC GROUT is recommended for grouting heavy equipment bases, structural columns, pump and equipment bases, crane rails, bearing plates, and other applications exposed to dynamic loads.
