2-part polyurethane grout for continuous embedded tracks with medium axle loads

Sika® Icosit® KC 340/45 is a flexible 2-part polyurethane polymer resin grout that can be applied manually or by machine. It is designed as a vibration absorbing, load-bearing, flexible grout for fixing grooved or T–rails onto concrete slabs, steel bridge decks and tunnel invert slabs. Particularly suitable for embedded (floating) rail designs.

  • Medium axle loads and standard deflection.
  • Noise and vibration suppression.
  • More uniform load distribution into substructure.
  • Watertight undersealing.
  • Flexible, elastic (shore A 55).
  • Damping, compressible.
  • Good electrical insulation against stray currents.
  • Excellent adhesion on various substrates.
  • Levels out tolerances.
  • Suitable as a powerful, shear-resistant adhesive.
  • Absorbs dynamic stresses and prolongs the life of concrete substructure.
  • Insensitive to moisture.
  • Long durability, less maintenance.
Usage
As a noise and vibration reducing grout for continuous embedded grooved or T–rails and road crossing applications.
