How do you apply GP2 grout?
The use of a grout holding tank with provision to gently agitate the grout may be required. At 300C place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain full benefit of the expansion process. Conbextra GP2 can be placed in thicknesses up to 100mm in a single pour when used as an underplate grout.
What is GP2 grouting?
Conbextra GP2 is a blend of Portland cement, graded fillers and chemical additives which impart controlled expansion in the plastic state whilst minimising water demand. The low water demand ensures high early strength. The graded fillers are designed to assist uniform mixing and produce a consistent grout.

What is the minimum height of the form work to be provided for grouting?
In general terms, side formwork should not be more than 25 mm. from the plate, and preferably close to it. c) The height of formwork must be sufficient to allow the finished grout level to be an adequate height above the underside of the plate. Where the plate thickness is up to, say, 50 mm.
What is full form of GP2 cement?

How do I calculate grout for bags?
Volume of a 50 lb bag of grout in litres A bag of 50 lb or 22.7kg grout is premixed of cement and sand as grout, as we know 1 litre grout weighs around 1.6 kg, so volume of a 50 lb bag of grout = 22.7/1.6 = 14 litres, therefore volume of 50lb bag of grout is about 14 litres.
