Available Size
• 50 lb. (22.7 kg) bag (BOM # 104031)
Coverage
Each 50 lb. bag will yield approximately 0.45 cu. ft. (12.7 L) of
wet mortar
5. INSTALLATION
Preparation
Read all directions before starting work. Concrete surfaces
should be fully cured (28 days).
1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces and substrates of chemical
deposits, dirt, grease, form oils, efflorescence, paint, or other
contaminants that could interfere with bonding. Apply only to
surfaces that are frost free and above 40°F (4°C) and below
100°F (38°C) within 24 hours of application and 72 hours
thereafter. Do not apply in direct sunlight on hot, windy days
or when rain is expected within 24 hours.
2. Shut down any equipment in the vicinity that will cause
vibration of the grout for at least 24 hours after placement.
3. Presoak area to be grouted and remove excess water just
prior to application.
Note: It is the responsibility of the installer/applicator to ensure
the suitability of the product for its intended use.
Mixing
1. Use cool, potable water, clean tools and clean containers. No
bonding additive is needed.
2. Mix only the amount that can be applied within the 30 minute
working time.
3. For best results, use a mechanical mixer with rotating blades.

3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Akona Non-Shrink Grout is a pourable, non-metallic, Portland
cement-based material to be used for grouting steel columns,
bearing plates, precast concrete, and anchors. Grout
compensates for an uneven foundation, distributes weight of
unit, and prevents shifting after setting and leveling unit. The
material is made of aggregates, Portland cement and other
additives to create an interior or exterior grout with non-
shrinking characteristics.
Features and Benefits
• Non-shrink characteristics
• High strength
• Pre-blended - just add water and mix
• Capable of handling high load transfers
• Contains no chloride admixtures or other chemicals that
would corrode steel
When/Where to Use
• Interior and exterior
• To fill holes
• Base plate grouting
• Anchoring
• Pre-cast wall panels
• Bridge seats
