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.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
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
concrete, such as deep gravel clusters, spacer holes,
second pours, etc. before painting the surface.
Repairs and structural strengthening of concrete.
Repairing precast concrete members
and elements.
Repairs to concrete damaged by rusty reinforcing
bars due to carbonation.
