Vicareplug is a one component, cementitious, very fast setting restoration/repair mortar and water plug based on Prompt cement in a shrinkage compensating 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 very rapid set and gain in early compressive strength. It is specifically designed for water stop and fast repair applications. The setting time is within 2 minutes to 5 minutes and the early strength gain can achieve up to 12 MPa within 3 hours at low water /powder ration. The mixed plugging mortar is easily placed by hand and is extremely stable under pressure. The placed plug is shrinkage compensated and will fill all gaps to prevent water ingress. Vicareplug has good chemical and mechanical resistance in addition to adhesive bond to concrete and other construction materials. When used as a very fast-setting, low slump repair mortar, it may be troweled, shaped, molded and shaved before taking a final set.
Vicareplug is an excellent patching solution for difficult vertical/overhead applications without using expensive and intricate forming techniques. This single component, fast setting repair mortar instantly stops running water or fluid seepage in concrete or masonry structures and permanently plugs non-moving cracks, joints and voids.
