DESCRIPTION
Structural R4-class, rapid-setting, shrinkage-compensated, thixotropic, fiber-reinforced, cementitious mortar, applied in a single layer from 3 to 40 mm thick, for repairing and smoothing concrete
WHERE TO USE
Structural repairs and smoothing over internal and
external horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces;
suitable for repairing structures exposed to the open
air and in permanent contact with water.

- Rapid repair work on deteriorated concrete beams,
pillars, buffer walls, cornices, edges of balconies
and structural members and elements that require
the use of mortar with high mechanical performance
characteristics.
- Quickly smoothing over surface defects in cast
