Five Star Grout is the industry’s leading cement-based, nonmetallic, non-shrink grout for supporting machinery, equipment, and steel structures. It is formulated with Air Release technology that combines high performance with the greatest reliability.
Five Star Grout is a cement-based, nonmetallic, non-shrink precision grout designed for supporting machinery and equipment. Air Release technology promotes positive expansion and high effective bearing. It can be placed by dry pack, poured, or pumped and meets ASTM C1107 (Grades A, B, C) and CRD-C 621 requirements across a 40°F-90°F placement range.
