Introduction
Fosroc, a leading manufacturer of construction chemicals, has developed a remarkable product called Conbextra GP1, a non-shrink, free-flow, general-purpose cementitious grout. It offers excellent support beneath load-bearing units, especially in static load applications, and acts as an efficient medium for transferring operational loads to the foundation. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized distributor and applicator, is responsible for marketing and promoting Fosroc Conbextra GP1 in India.

Conbextra GP1: A Comprehensive Overview

Main Uses

Conbextra GP1 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
  1. Grouting machine base plates
  2. Crane and transporter rails
  3. Standing equipment bed plates
  4. Stanchion bases
  5. Steel rolling mill beds
  6. Pump sets

Advantages

The following are the main advantages of utilizing Conbextra GP1:

  1. Non-shrink: Maintains its position in the filled space without shrinking, supporting the bearing regions and reducing vibrations.
  2. Free flow: Ensures high-level contact with the load-bearing area and helps in complete filling without voids, eliminating the need for external aids such as rodding, poking, or chaining.
  3. Pre-packaged and under factory control: Ensures dependability and uniformity by removing site batching and blending inconsistencies.
  4. Iron-free: Prevents deterioration caused by uncontrolled rust expansion, corrosion, and staining of grout.
  5. Chloride-free: Does not cause corrosion of machine parts, anchor bolts, or other components in contact with grout.


Applications of Conbextra GP1

Machine Base Plates

Equipment Bed Plates
This cementitious grout is perfect for securing standing equipment bed plates in place, ensuring a firm foundation and minimizing vibrations.

Stanchion Bases
Conbextra GP1 is used to provide a robust and reliable foundation for stanchion bases, ensuring proper load distribution and stability.

Steel Rolling Mill Beds
For steel rolling mill beds , Conbextra GP1 provides a solid and stable foundation, reducing vibrations and ensuring smooth operations .

Pump Sets
Conbextra GP1 is also used for grouting pump sets , offering a secure and stable foundation that minimizes vibrations and improves the overall efficiency of the pump system .


Technical Specifications

Compressive Strength:
Conbextra GP1 offers excellent compressive strength , which ensures durability and longevity for the load-bearing units.

Expansion Characteristics :
This cementitious grout exhibits positive expansion characteristics, which help prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the grouted area.

Fresh Wet Density :
Conbextra GP1 has a fresh wet density of approximately 2200 kg/m³ , which aids in achieving a consistent flow and filling without voids .

Water Powder Ratio :
The water powder ratio for Conbextra GP1 is around 0.17 , which ensures an ideal consistency for both strength and flowability.
Mixing and Placing Conbextra GP1

Preparation: 
Make sure the surface is clean and clear of dust, oil, and grease before adding Conbextra GP1. To create a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition, pre-wet the surface with water .

Mixing:
Using a suitable mixing equipment, add the required amount of water to the mixing container. Gradually add the Conbextra GP1 powder while continuously mixing until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved.

Placing :
Pour the mixed grout into the voids or gaps, ensuring that it fills the entire area without any air pockets. For large areas, it is recommended to use a suitable grout pump for efficient placement.


Curing and Cleaning :
After placing the grout, protect it from rapid drying by covering it with a curing compound, wet hessian, or polyethylene sheeting. Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.

Estimating and Storage :
Conbextra GP1 is supplied in 25 kg bags, and it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life is typically 12 months when stored in unopened, undamaged packaging.

Health and Safety Precautions :
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling, mixing, and placing Conbextra GP1. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical advice if necessary.

Conclusion :
Fosroc Conbextra GP1 is a versatile, high-quality cementitious grout that provides excellent support for various load-bearing applications. With its numerous advantages and wide range of uses, it is a reliable choice for construction professionals.

Advantages of Non-Shrink Grouts like Conbextra GP1
Non-shrink grouts, such as Conbextra GP1, offer several advantages over conventional cementitious grouts:

  1. Minimized Shrinkage: Non-shrink grouts are formulated to minimize shrinkage during the curing process, reducing the risk of cracking, debonding, or void formation.
  2. Improved Load Transfer: By maintaining the initial volume, non-shrink grouts ensure optimal load transfer between the grouted element and the substrate, enhancing structural performance.
  3. Enhanced Durability: The reduced risk of shrinkage and void formation leads to improved durability, as well as resistance to mechanical and environmental stresses.
  4. Ease of Application: Non-shrink grouts are typically easy to mix and apply, resulting in a more efficient and hassle-free installation process.


Limitations of Conbextra GP1
While Conbextra GP1 is a high-quality, versatile grout, it does have some limitations:

  1. Limited to Non-Structural Applications : Conbextra GP1 is designed for non - structural grouting applications and should not be used as a replacement for structural concrete or load-bearing members.
  2. Sensitivity to Temperature: The performance of Conbextra GP1 may be affected by extreme temperatures, so it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for temperature range during mixing, placement , and curing .
  3. Shelf Life: Conbextra GP1 has a limited shelf life of 12 months when stored in unopened, undamaged packaging. To guarantee product quality, proper storage conditions must be maintained.

Summary
Fosroc Conbextra GP1 is a non-shrink, free-flowing cementitious grout that provides excellent support for various load-bearing applications .
