Instruction for preparation and application.
During the processing of dry mortar mixes DENSOFIX it is generally necessary to comply with the principles contained in the relevant technological process BETOSAN for repair of reinforced concrete structures (TP No.1/06).
Base Any incoherent, loose or weatherworn particles and dust shall be completely removed from the surface of the repaired base. The concrete surface cannot be contaminated by substances negatively affecting adhesion to the base (fats, greases, oils, etc.). Rinsing with pressure water is the best method for necessary complete removal of any dust from the entire repaired surface before applica-tion.
Preparation of the spread. The spreaded coating is prepared by simple mixing with water. The recommended mixing ratio is as follows:
| Dry component (kg) | Water (litres) | Thickness of applied layer (mm) | ||
| DENSOFIX | 25 | 5.00 ÷ 5.75 | min. 2 | max. 4 |
Workability of the product is 50 – 60 minutes under 20 °C
Neither temperature of base nor temperature of ambient air shall be below + 5 °C and above + 30 °C.
DENSOFIX spreaded coating is applied either mechanically or manually. Manual application means finning off. The spreaded coating is applied in one layer whose thickness should not exceed value specified in the above table. Surfaces coated with the spreaded coating shall be efficiently protected against direct sunshine and wind.
Surface finalization. After initial setting of the spreaded coating smoothing by a dry polyurethane or polystyrene finisher is used for surfacing.
Surface treatment. Repaired surfaces shall be properly treated immediately after completion to avoid especially direct exposure to sun, wind effect and other factors accelerating undesirable evaporation
of the batch water. Use of the following treatment agents DENSOCURE W and DENSOCURE R proved well. It is desirable to properly moisten the repaired places several times a day for min. 7 days following the repair.
Specific consumption
Specific consumption of dry mortar is 1.6 to 1.7 kg/m2 at 1 mm of layer thickness.
