Vicarep is a one component, cementitious, restoration/repair mortar based on Prompt cement in an extremely low shrinkage cement blend, fillers and additives to control the rheology and setting time. The material is pre-packaged ready for on-site use and when mixed with water develops a rapid set and gain in early compressive strength.

Description

Vicarep is a one component, cementitious, restoration/repair mortar based on Prompt cement in an extremely low shrinkage cement blend, fillers and additives to control the rheology and setting time. The material is pre-packaged ready for on-site use and when mixed with water develops a rapid set and gain in early compressive strength. Vicarep has good chemical and mechanical resistance in addition to adhesive bond to concrete and other construction materials. When used as fast-setting, low slump repair mortar, it may be troweled, shaped, molded and shaved before taking a final set. Vicarep is an excellent patching solution for difficult vertical/overhead applications without using expensive and intricate forming techniques.

Advantages

  • Non-shrink.
  • High early strength with long term strength gain.
  • Water resistant.
  • Characteristics improvement over 10 years.
  • Resists alkalis and acids of PH as low as 4.
  • Resists carbonation providing excellent protection for steel reinforcement.
  • Formulated for short and long term efficiency.
  • Good adhesion.
  • Continuous pores filling and sealing by Autogenous healing provided by the slow hydration of Dicalcium Silicate (C2S).
  • No free lime, all the hydration products are solids.

Uses

Vicarep is designed to minimize downtime. It can be used vertically, horizontally or overhead. Whether the application is interior or exterior, Vicarep is an excellent choice for fast repairs. Typical applications include but are not limited to, repairs to curbs and gutters, precast concrete elements, tie-rod holes, concrete pipes, columns, beams, filling of non-moving joints and cracks or any general purpose repair.

Coverage

  • After mixing with water; one Kg yields about 0.45 Liter of non-shrink mortar.
  • Allowance should be made for any possible wastage when estimating.

Package
