Top 5 Signs Your Building Needs Structural Repair
Learn to identify critical warning signs that indicate your building requires immediate structural assessment and repair.
Read MorePolygrout 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%.

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.
Check Crack Area - Check crack area and clean up the surface with a wire brush or grinder.
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.
Position Zigzag & Distance - Hole positions must be zigzag, with a separation gap of 15-20 cm from each other.
Keep 15-20cm Distance - Make holes as per the recommended pattern, each separated by gap of 15-20 cm from each other.
Insert Packers - Insert packers into the drilled holes and fasten them tightly using a T-wrench.
PU Injection (Polygrout) Prep - Pour the PU Injection (Polygrout) into the plastic bottle.
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).
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.
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.
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.
