Key Benefits

  • FAA-compliant epoxy grout according to AC 150/5370-10 Item P-606
    • Designed for installation of in-pavement AGL light bases in rigid and flexible pavements
    • Easy-to-pour, fixed-ratio 2-component system for reliable installation
    • Suitable for damp substrates (rigid and flexible pavements) within specified limits
    • Electrically insulating and chemically resistant to fuels and de-icing agents
    • Climate-specific hardeners for reliable curing in different temperature ranges
    • Proven durability in runway, taxiway and apron lighting installations

cds-AGL BaseGrout UW is an FAA-compliant two-component epoxy grout developed for the installation of in-pavement Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) bases in concrete (rigid) and asphalt (flexible) airside pavements.

The easy-to-pour, mineral-filled epoxy creates a durable, friction-locked connection between the light base and the surrounding core-drilled hole. This ensures stable installation of inset runway, taxiway and apron lighting systems under demanding airside conditions.

Designed for use on runways, taxiways and aprons, cds-AGL BaseGrout UW withstands heavy aircraft loads, aviation fuels, de-icing chemicals and thermal movement while maintaining long-term dimensional stability.

Climate-specific hardeners allow curing behaviour to be adapted to ambient temperature and available runway closure windows, enabling efficient installation even during limited possession times.

cds-AGL BaseGrout UW is chemically resistant, electrically insulating and suitable for application on damp substrates (rigid and flexible pavements) within specified limits.

The product is available in grey or black and forms part of the cds-AGL Grouts for durable airfield lighting installations.

Additional variants of this product are available, including cds-AGL BaseGrout UW eco (biobased epoxy binder with reduced CO₂ footprint) and cds-AGL BaseGrout rapid for applications requiring accelerated curing times. For the installation and maintenance of AGL cable infrastructure, cds-AGL SlotRestore systems are available for filling cable slots and cable joints in airside pavements.
