Primax Magic Grout
Shrinkage-Compensated Cementitious Grout – Reliable General-Purpose Grouting Solution
Strong and stable grouting is essential wherever gaps, voids, or spaces between structural components need to be filled properly. This shrinkage-compensated cementitious grout is supplied as a ready-to-use dry powder designed for general-purpose grouting applications.
By adding a controlled amount of clean water, the powder produces a smooth and flowing grout suitable for gap thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm. It is particularly useful where grout needs to flow effectively into confined spaces, concrete voids, or areas between a base plate and its supporting substrate.
Why Use a Shrinkage-Compensated Grout?
Grouting applications require a material that can flow into gaps effectively while maintaining proper contact between adjoining surfaces. Correct mixing and controlled water addition are important because excessive water or improper preparation can affect the consistency and performance of the grout.
This product is supplied in a convenient dry-powder form and only requires the correct amount of clean water before application. Once properly mixed, it provides a flowing consistency suitable for a wide range of general-purpose grouting applications.

Mixing Instructions
Correct mixing is important for achieving a smooth, consistent, and lump-free grout. Mechanical mixing is recommended for best results.
- Prepare the required quantity of clean gauging water.
- Pour approximately two-thirds of the gauging water into a clean mixing pail.
- Gradually add the grout powder while mixing continuously.
- Continue mixing until a smooth and lump-free consistency is achieved.
- Add the remaining gauging water.
- Continue mixing for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Use the prepared grout according to the intended application requirements.
Recommended Mixing Equipment
Mechanical mixing is recommended to achieve a more consistent grout mixture.
- Low-speed electric drill with a maximum speed of 500 rpm.
- Basket-type mixing paddle.
- Forced-action mixer.
- Stand-type mixer.
General Application Guidance
Before application, ensure that the area to be grouted is properly prepared and suitable for receiving the material. The grout should be mixed according to the recommended method and applied at the required flowing consistency.
For base plate applications, sufficient access should be available so the grout can flow into and fill the required space effectively.
The product is designed for gap thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm.
Storage Instructions
Correct storage is important for protecting the dry powder from moisture and maintaining its usability.
- Store in the original unopened packaging.
- Keep in a cool and dry location.
- Store between +5°C and +35°C.
- Protect from direct sunlight.
- Protect from humidity and moisture.
- Protect from frost.
When stored correctly under the specified conditions, the product has a shelf life of 12 months.
Important Limitations
- Do not exceed the specified tile bond/water ratio.
- Keep the product away from moisture and dampness.
- Avoid uncontrolled addition of water during mixing.
- Keep unused dry powder properly protected from humidity.
Common Mixing Mistakes to Avoid
- Adding too much water: Excessive water can change the required grout consistency.
- Adding all the water at once: Follow the recommended two-stage water addition procedure.
- Adding powder too quickly: Add the grout powder gradually while mixing continuously.
- Insufficient mixing: Continue mixing until the grout is smooth and free from lumps.
- Using unsuitable equipment: Low-speed mechanical mixing is recommended for better consistency.
- Allowing the dry powder to become damp: Always keep unused material protected from moisture.
