SikaGrout 220 – High Strength Non-Shrink Grout for Structural Grouting Works

SikaGrout®-220 is a high-performance, cement-based, shrinkage-compensated grout designed for structural and precision grouting applications where strength, durability, and reliability are critical. It is supplied as a ready-mixed grey powder and only requires the addition of clean water, making it simple and efficient to use on site.

This grout is specially formulated to provide excellent flow, rapid strength development, and long-term dimensional stability. Once hardened, it forms a dense and high-strength grout that ensures proper load transfer between structural elements. SikaGrout®-220 is suitable for grouting works with clearances of 10 mm or more, making it a trusted solution for both civil engineering and industrial construction projects.

🔍 What Is SikaGrout 220?

SikaGrout®-220 is a cementitious structural grout used to fill gaps, voids, and spaces between concrete, steel, or precast elements. Its primary function is to create solid, load-bearing contact between structural components where precise alignment and support are required.

The product contains:

• High-quality cement

• Selected aggregates and fillers

• Special additives that improve flow and compensate for shrinkage

Thanks to its shrinkage-compensated formulation with 2-step expansion, the grout maintains close contact with surrounding surfaces during setting and hardening. This helps reduce the risk of voids, gaps, or loss of load transfer after curing.

🧱 Where Can SikaGrout 220 Be Used?

SikaGrout®-220 is suitable for a wide range of structural grouting applications, particularly where a strong, durable grout is required.

Typical Applications

• 🏭 Machine foundations – providing stable support for heavy equipment

• 🧱 Precast columns and structural elements

• 🔩 Concrete anchors and anchor bolts

• 🌉 Bridge bearings

• 🕳️ Cavities and voids

• ↔️ Gaps and recesses in concrete structures

• 🚆 Rail beds and base plate grouting

✅ Recommended for grouting works with minimum clearance of 10 mm

These applications benefit from the grout’s ability to flow easily, self-level, and harden into a dense, high-strength mass.

🛠️ How to Use SikaGrout 220

1️⃣ Surface Preparation

• Ensure substrates are clean, sound, and free from dust, oil, grease, and loose materials

• Formwork must be tight and secure to prevent grout leakage

• If necessary, pre-dampen dry concrete surfaces, but remove all standing water before application

2️⃣ Mixing

• Pour clean water into a suitable mixing container

• Gradually add SikaGrout®-220 powder while mixing

• Use a low-speed mechanical mixer to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency

• Mix for approximately 3–5 minutes

3️⃣ Application

• Place the grout immediately after mixing

• Pour continuously from one side to allow the grout to flow naturally

• The grout is self-levelling, reducing the need for excessive vibration

• Light tamping or controlled vibration may be used if required

4️⃣ Curing

• Protect freshly placed grout from rapid moisture loss

• Keep exposed surfaces moist during early curing

• Proper curing improves strength development and durability

📦 Packaging & Appearance

• Packaging: 25 kg bag

• Colour: Grey premixed powder
