Polygrout - Water Reactive Polyurethane Grout

Polygrout is a single component highly effective, hydrophobic grout based on polyurethane. Upon contact with water, it reacts to form a closed-cell, semi-rigid foam expanding its volume by 3000%.

Key Features

  • Does not create new cracks
  • Inert after curing, constant volume, no shrinkage
  • Good adhesive strength, tolerant of movement
  • Excellent bond to surfaces
  • Foam increases in volume to fill cavities and voids
  • Deep penetration into very small cracks
  • Negative side application possible

About Polygrout PU Resin

CrackExperts Polygrout is a hydrophobic grout based on polyurethane. Upon contact with water, it reacts to a closed-cell, semi-rigid foam while expanding its volume up to 3000%.

The cured material maintains a constant volume and is not affected by water or dryness, ensuring the reacted material does not shrink or swell.

Areas of Application

  • Soil stabilization - Strengthening weak or water-saturated soil
  • Tunnels, Dams, Subway (Metro), Sewers, Manholes, Utility boxes - Sealing water ingress in underground structures
  • Pipe intrusions, Waste water tanks - Waterproofing around pipe penetrations
  • Concrete joints, Limestone, Brick construction - Sealing joints and cracks
  • Defective concrete (cracked or honeycombed) - Repairing structural defects

Application Process

  1. Check Crack Area - Check crack area and clean up the surface with a wire brush or grinder.

  2. Drill Holes - Drill holes near cracks using a hammer drill, with a 45° angle from the surface, to prevent packers from penetrating through a crack.

  3. Position Zigzag & Distance - Hole positions must be zigzag, with a separation gap of 15-20 cm from each other.

  4. Keep 15-20cm Distance - Make holes as per the recommended pattern, each separated by gap of 15-20 cm from each other.

  5. Insert Packers - Insert packers into the drilled holes and fasten them tightly using a T-wrench.

  6. PU Injection (Polygrout) Prep - Pour the PU Injection (Polygrout) into the plastic bottle.

  7. Connect the Coupler - Connect the grease coupler with the installed packer. Inject first at the low area, and then move to the upper area (down to up).

  8. Inject PU Resin - Push the switch for the running machine and inject PU resin into a hole. Start with low pressure and increase. When PU resin flows out from the cracks, stop injection, move to another packer, and start injection again.

  9. Remove Packers - After finishing injection, remove packers by hitting them with a hammer. Clean the surface using a scraper or a grinder, and if needed, coat with sealing materials. Damaged areas can be sealed with polymer modified mortar.

  10. Clean the Machine - Clean the machine properly using xylene thinner. Pour the Xylene thinner in the jar of the grouting machine and follow the cleaning procedure.

Shelf Life

  • Up to 3 months for reuse on opening the seal, provided the material is kept in a closed container free from moisture.
  • Stored at a temperature of 0 to 30°C from date of import.
  • 1 Year in tightly sealed container.
