Microfine & Ultra-Fine Cementitious Materials for Underground Grouting
KOSNANO supplies grouting cement, microfine cement and ultra-fine mineral cementitious materials for underground construction and cement-based engineering systems.
Different projects require different particle sizes, penetration behavior, setting characteristics and strength development. We help you select the material according to the grout path and engineering conditions rather than treating every grouting project with the same cement.
Our materials are available for tunnel grouting, dam grouting, underground water sealing, soil and rock stabilization, oilfield cementing and concrete modification.

Choose Grouting Cement by Particle Size
For underground grouting, cement fineness is not simply a specification on a datasheet. It affects whether the cementitious particles can enter the cracks, pores and fissures that need to be treated.
Conventional cement may be suitable for larger voids. When the available flow path becomes narrower, microfine cement or ultra-fine cement gives engineers another material option for finer fissures and more demanding injection conditions.
KOSNANO can provide the corresponding particle-size distribution and technical data for grade selection.
Available technical data can include D10 / D50 / D90 and other particle-size information according to the selected grade.
Microfine Cement for Fine Fissure Grouting
Microfine cement is designed for grouting conditions where ordinary cement particle size becomes a limitation.
Its finer cementitious particles make it suitable for projects involving narrow rock fissures, underground voids and fine flow paths where grout penetration is an important part of material selection.
Typical projects include:
- Tunnel Pre-Grouting
- Rock Fissure Injection
- Foundation Consolidation
- Underground Water Control
- Dam Foundation Grouting
Particle-size distribution, setting characteristics and strength data can be reviewed before project testing.
Ultra-Fine Cement for More Demanding Injection Paths
When a project requires an even finer mineral cementitious material, ultra-fine cement provides another particle-size option.
Instead of selecting the material only by the words “microfine” or “ultra-fine,” we recommend comparing the actual particle-size distribution with the fissure conditions, grout equipment and required engineering performance.
For project evaluation, KOSNANO can provide the corresponding grade data for technical comparison.
Tunnel Grouting Cement
Tunnel grouting may involve water ingress, fractured surrounding rock, loose geological zones or voids around the underground structure.
KOSNANO supplies tunnel grouting cement and fine cementitious materials for pre-grouting, consolidation grouting and underground water-control systems.
The suitable grade depends on the actual geological condition, fissure size, injection equipment, grout design and required setting and strength behavior.
For a new tunnel project, send us the available project conditions and required material parameters so the appropriate grade can be evaluated before field use.
Dam Grouting Cement
Dam foundations and surrounding rock can contain joints, cracks and permeable paths that require cementitious injection.
Our dam grouting cement and microfine mineral materials can be evaluated for foundation grouting, fissure filling and water-control projects where grout penetration and hardened material performance both matter.
Particle size, setting characteristics and strength development can be matched against the project’s grout design and geological conditions.
Underground Water Sealing Cement
Water-sealing projects are often controlled by the actual path through which water is moving.
For wider cavities, conventional cementitious materials may be sufficient. For narrower fissures and permeable rock structures, finer grouting cement can provide another material option.
KOSNANO supplies underground water sealing cement in different fineness directions for tunnels, underground structures, foundations and other water-control projects.
Material selection should be confirmed through the actual project conditions and trial grouting where required.
Soil & Rock Stabilization
Grouting cement can be injected into loose or fractured ground to fill voids and improve the integrity of the treated zone.
For soil stabilization and rock consolidation, particle size must be considered together with soil or rock structure, permeability, groutability and the selected injection process.
KOSNANO can recommend a microfine or cementitious mineral grade after reviewing the basic ground conditions and project requirements.
Oil Well Cement & Mineral Materials
KOSNANO also supplies oil well cement-related mineral materials for cementing and cement formulation development.
Oilfield applications have different requirements from tunnel or dam grouting, so these materials are evaluated separately according to the required cement system, temperature conditions and technical specification.
If you are developing or modifying an oil well cement system, send us the target specification and required mineral material parameters for grade matching.
Slag Powder for Cementitious Systems
KOSNANO supplies slag powder for cementitious formulations and concrete modification.
Rather than treating slag powder as interchangeable with microfine grouting cement, the material should be selected according to its intended role in the final cement or concrete system.
Particle size and other technical properties can be provided according to the selected slag powder grade.
Mineral Admixtures for Concrete
Different mineral powders can change the particle packing and formulation behavior of cementitious systems.
KOSNANO supplies mineral admixtures for concrete for customers developing or modifying concrete and cement formulations.
For formulations that also require functional silica materials, you can review our high-purity silicon dioxide powder grades for industrial formulations.
Tell us the base cement system, target application and the property you are trying to adjust. We can then narrow the material choice before laboratory testing.
Technical Data That Matters Before Grouting
A grouting cement should not be selected from a product name alone.
Depending on the material grade, project evaluation may include:
| Technical Item | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Particle Size Distribution | Helps evaluate whether the powder is suitable for the available grout path |
| D10 / D50 / D90 | Gives a clearer view of the actual particle-size distribution |
| Specific Surface Area | Characterizes the fineness of the mineral material |
| Setting Time | Helps match the material to mixing, pumping and injection conditions |
| Flow / Fluidity | Relevant to grout handling and injection |
| Water-to-Cement Ratio | Defines the tested grout formulation |
| Compressive Strength | Shows hardened material strength development |
| Bleeding / Stability | Helps evaluate grout stability before hardening |
| Chemical Composition | Supports material and formulation review |
Available parameters depend on the selected product grade.
Request the TDS and technical data for the grade you are evaluating.
Particle Size Before Marketing Labels
“Microfine” and “ultra-fine” are useful product descriptions, but an engineering decision should be based on measurable data.
For this reason, KOSNANO recommends reviewing the actual particle-size distribution rather than selecting a grouting cement only from its commercial grade name.
If your project already specifies a maximum particle size, D50, D90 or other fineness requirement, send us the target value directly. We can use it as the starting point for material matching.
From Powder Data to Project Conditions
A finer cement is not automatically the better cement for every project.
The material should be considered together with:
- Fissure or Void Size
- Ground Permeability
- Water Conditions
- Injection Pressure
- Mixing and Pumping Equipment
- Required Setting Time
- Required Strength Development
This is why KOSNANO treats grouting cement selection as a project-material matching process, not simply a choice between “fine” and “finer.”
Grouting Cement Applications
Tunnel & Underground Construction
Microfine and ultra-fine cementitious materials can be evaluated for tunnel pre-grouting, surrounding-rock consolidation, underground void treatment and water-control projects.
The appropriate grade depends on the geological structure and available injection paths.
Dam & Hydraulic Engineering
Fine cementitious materials can be used in dam foundation and rock-fissure grouting where both penetration and hardened grout performance need to be considered.
Particle-size and strength data can be reviewed according to the project specification.
Underground Water Control
For underground water ingress through joints, cracks and permeable structures, grouting cement can be selected according to the dimensions of the available flow paths and the required sealing system.
Ground Stabilization
Microfine cementitious materials can be evaluated for fractured rock, loose ground and foundation consolidation where cement injection is used to fill voids and strengthen the treated zone.
Cement & Concrete Modification
Slag powder and other fine mineral materials can be used in cementitious formulation development and concrete modification.
These materials are supplied according to the required mineral grade rather than treated as direct substitutes for grouting cement.
Why KOSNANO?
Material Selection Starts with Your Project
We do not recommend a grouting cement simply because it is the finest available grade.
Share the project conditions and target parameters, and we can narrow the material choice before testing.
Particle Size You Can Review
For microfine and ultra-fine mineral materials, particle size should be measurable.
Technical particle-size data can be supplied according to the selected grade, allowing your engineering team to compare materials against the actual grouting requirement.
More Than One Cementitious Material
KOSNANO supplies microfine cement, ultra-fine mineral materials, slag powder, silicon dioxide powder and other cementitious and functional mineral materials.
This allows material selection to begin with the engineering requirement rather than forcing different applications into one product grade.
Technical Documents for Evaluation
Depending on the selected product, we can provide:
- TDS
- Particle Size Data
- Strength Data
- Chemical Composition
- SDS
- COA / Quality Documents
Available documentation is confirmed according to the specific material grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microfine cement used for?
Microfine cement is used when a grouting project requires finer cementitious particles than conventional cement can provide. Typical applications include tunnel grouting, rock-fissure injection, dam foundation grouting, underground water control and ground consolidation. The suitable grade should be selected according to actual particle-size data and project conditions.
What is the difference between microfine cement and ultra-fine cement?
The practical difference should be evaluated from the actual particle-size distribution, not only the product name. Ultra-fine grades generally target finer particle-size requirements, while the final choice also depends on fissure size, grout design, injection equipment, setting requirements and strength targets.
How do I choose grouting cement for fine cracks?
Start with the approximate fissure or flow-path size and the particle-size requirement of the grout. If your project specifies D50, D90 or maximum particle size, send these values directly. Setting time, fluidity, water conditions and required hardened strength should also be considered before selecting a grade.
Can microfine cement be used for underground water sealing?
Microfine cement can be evaluated for underground water-control projects involving narrow cracks, joints and permeable rock structures. Whether it is suitable depends on the actual water path, geological conditions, groutability and injection design.
Do you provide particle size and strength data?
Yes. Technical data can be provided according to the selected material grade, including available particle-size distribution and strength information. Other parameters such as setting time, specific surface area or chemical composition can be confirmed for the relevant product.
Can KOSNANO recommend a grade for my project?
Yes. Send us the application, available geological information, target particle size, setting or strength requirements and existing grout design if available. We can use these conditions to narrow the material selection for project testing.
Request Grouting Cement Technical Data
If you already have a grouting specification, send us the particle-size requirement, application and target performance.
If the project is still at the material-selection stage, send us the basic engineering conditions and we can help narrow the suitable grouting cement, microfine cement or ultra-fine mineral material before testing.
