SikaGrout 885 MF is a cement-based metallic aggregate grout with extended working time. It is ideally suited for grouting machines or plates requiring optimum toughness and precision loadbearing support, including machine bases subject to thermal movement.
SikaGrout 885 MF is a low-dust, high-precision, cement-based metallic aggregate grout with extended working time. Engineered for heavy equipment and precision baseplate grouting, it delivers high early and ultimate strengths, self-consolidating flow, and non-shrink performance for maximum effective bearing area. It meets ASTM C1107 and CRD C621 (Grades B and C), resists freeze/thaw cycles and sulfates, and maintains toughness in demanding thermal and dynamic loading environments.

Where should I use SikaGrout 885 MF?
Under heavy machinery and precision baseplates, and for anchoring bolts, rebar, and dowels where high strength and toughness are required.
What makes it different from conventional non-shrink grouts?
The metallic and quartz aggregate blend delivers superior impact resistance and toughness for dynamic and thermal loading.
Is it suitable for exterior or aggressive environments?
Yes. It is freeze/thaw and sulfate resistant, suitable for marine, wastewater, and other harsh conditions.
How much does one bag yield?
About 0.43 cubic feet at fluid consistency with approximately 1.2 gallons of water.
What standards does it meet?
ASTM C1107 and CRD C621, Grades B and C.
