ABE DuraRep FR

Description

ABE Dura.®Rep FRis a polymer-modified, fibre-reinforced, cement-based mortar, which is chloride-free, ready to use, non-shrink and of a single component.

Uses:
• Potable water retaining structures.
• Repairing voids and honeycombed areas.
• Also applied by gunning (wet or dry process).
• Bedding mortar for concrete planks i.e. seats at sports stadiums, suspended flooring.
• Water cooling towers.
• Harbor wharf repairs.

Features:
• Ready to use.
• Easy to work.
• High ultimate strength.
• Resistant to frost and thawing salt.
• Chloride-free.
• Non-shrink.
• Good bonding to concrete.

Mixing:
Add approximately 2/3 of the required mixing water and while stirring, preferably mechanically, slowly add the powder and mix until lump free. Add the remainder of the water and mix for 3 to 4 minutes until the mortar is homogeneous and lump free. The plastic-thixotropic mortar can now be applied by trowel, spatula or float. The mortar can be made up to a stiffer consistency by using less water.

Application:
Dura.®rep FR is used for repair and restoration of large horizontal areas and vertical surfaces, such as worn concrete road surfaces and bridges, as well as for repairing concrete, renderings, natural and artificial stone, and erosion damage to sewer tunnel structures. On vertical surfaces, Dura.®rep FR is suitable for surface repairs, re-profiling large breakaway at the edges (on pillars and chords). Rubber gloves should be worn because of the material’s high cementitious content (alkaline). Application may be carried out in layers or applied up to 70 mm in one pass.
