Sikagrout 528 SF is a non-shrink, non-metallic, cementitious grout with a unique two-stage shrinkage compensating mechanism. With a special blend of shrinkage-reducing and plasticizing/water-reducing agents, SikaGrout 528 SF compensates for shrinkage in both the plastic and hardened states.
SikaGrout 528 SF is a high-performance, nonshrink, non-metallic cementitious grout formulated for superior durability in structural grouting and void filling applications. Enhanced with undensified silica fume, this grout offers exceptional permeability resistance and low bleed, even at high flow levels. It features a two-stage shrinkage compensating mechanism for maximum volume stability in both the plastic and hardened states. Free from aluminum powder or gas-generating additives, SikaGrout 528 SF is ideal for precision grouting where high flow and minimal thermal buildup are critical. Designed for confined applications only, it delivers consistent performance in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure settings.

Is SikaGrout 528 SF suitable for unconfined patching?
No. This product is designed for use in confined spaces only and is not recommended for patching or overlay mortar.
Can I mix less than a full bag?
Yes. For smaller batches, mix with a high-speed drill (2,500 rpm) and a jiffy paddle for a minimum of 6 minutes for best consistency.
What mixer is recommended?
A high-shear colloidal mixer like the ChemGrout CG-600 is recommended to achieve full performance characteristics.
