High-performance structural grout for full-load bearing and stabilization
MAPEI Canada
03 62 13 Non-Metallic Non-Shrink Grouting
Planigrout® 712 is a one-component, nonshrinking, nonmetallic, cement-based grout. It contains a corrosion inhibitor and silica fume, as well as a special blend of fine aggregate and plasticizers that provide exceptional placing and performance characteristics.
Features and Benefits:
· Excellent compressive strength and positive expansion for structural grouting applications
· Can be used at a plastic, flowable or fluid consistency
· Provides superior resistance to water penetration, freeze/thaw cycles and de-icing salts
· One-component system that requires only the addition of potable water
· Has extremely low chloride content and is free of metallic aggregates, aluminum powder and gypsum
Where to Use:
· For use as a nonshrink, premixed structural grout in applications requiring full load-bearing and stabilization. Also suitable for precast, cast-in-place and prestressed concrete applications.
For interior and exterior structural grouting and anchoring in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and infrastructure applications.Additional Information

Concrete Floors: Does ‘sealed’ mean the same thing as ‘polished?’
The continued rise in popularity of polished concrete floors, combined with a spate of new ‘polishing’ products on the market, has created a perfect storm for construction specifiers. The industry has responded by releasing a new standard to measure and evaluate polished concrete surfaces.
Achieving beauty and durability with continuous insulation
Combining multiple esthetics is the standard rather than the exception in building exteriors. And since the days of monolithic design are long gone, architects are pushing the limits by integrating materials to create a modern, sophisticated look. At the same time, no designer can afford to sacrifice performance for an…
Concrete Cracking Problems: A modern-day phenomenon?
Anecdotal evidence suggests cracking of concrete structures and components appears to be on the rise, often resulting in conflict between involved parties. Sometimes described as severe and/or excessive, it appears the cracks occurred even when specifications were strictly followed and the concrete designed, supplied, placed, and cured in accordance with…
How to fix concrete flooring challenges
Concrete floors are popular choices as they are extremely durable and long-lasting if installed, cured, and finished properly. However, issues can arise during or after installation, and construction professionals must know how to diagnose and fix these concrete flooring challenges.
Specifying concrete repair
Good concrete repair is not a bandage ‘fix’ for a structure in trouble—rather, it is a complex system that consists of numerous engineering tasks (Figure 1). Designing and specifying concrete repair has unique needs differing from new construction. Thus, the specifications must serve as action plans or roadmaps for the…
