ICOSIT
KC340 AND KC330 POLYURETHANE ELASTOMERIC GROUTS
| Since
the first application of Icosit KC330 in Railway
Tunnels in 1970, the Sika Range of Elastomeric
Grouts have been used in many thousands of locations
in Automatic Light Rapid Transit, LRT’s,
Mainline High Speed and Freight Lines, Heavy Mass
Transit, Historic Trolley Lines, Crane Installations
and more. |

Advantages
|
|
| Elastomeric
Levelling Grout |
-
eliminating the need for shims.
- absorbs sound and vibration. |
| Electrical
Insulation |
-
prevents potentially damaging stray currents. |
| Adhesion |
-
strong bond adds safety and prevents water pentration. |
|
Levelling
Grout
The
highest precision is required in building special
trackwork. On direct fixation slab extremely accurate
elevation is achieved when the base plates are
set with Icosit Grout.

Elastomeric
Grout
KC300 series of grouts are compressible (unlike
pure elastomers) and therefore absorb vibrations
started by the wheels on the rails. Installation
of new rail systems can cause noise problems in
sensitive buildings such as hospitals, concert
theatres and residential buildings. Icosit KC300
grouts dampen structure borne noise and help to
protect the environment.

Electrical
Insulation
With modern Light Rail vehicles DC powered traction
returns the current through the running rail.
Icosit KC300 isolates the rail from the trackbed
thereby preventing stray currents and protecting
against signalling malfunction, electromechanical
corrosion and data transfer interference.

Adhesion
With preparation using primers on the steel and
the concrete, Icosit KC330 and KC340 produce a powerful
bond to increase the stability and safety while
preventing water from getting into the fixation
system.
