Non-shrink grout being applied to tiles. Non-shrink grout is a hydraulic cement grout that, when hardened under stipulated test conditions, does not shrink, so its final volume is greater than or equal to the original installed volume. It is often used as a transfer medium between load-bearing members.
Grout varieties include tiling, flooring, resin, nonshrinking, structural, and thixotropic grouts. [3] The use of enhancing admixtures increases the quality of cement-based materials and leads to greater uniformity of hardened properties.
