Use
MONOCRETE PPE TH is a single-component dry mortar that meets the requirements of class R3 according to EN 1504-3. Polymer-cement mortar MONOCRETE PPE TH is intended especially for repairs of damaged concrete and reinforced concrete vertical surfaces and ceilings principle 3, 4 and 7 method 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.4, 7.1 and 7.2 according to EN 1504-3). It comes in three grain sizes. MONOCRETE PPE TH can be coated either with directly applicable type of secondary protection in dependence on exposure of the repaired structure or can be further surfaced by application of the DENSOFIX spread coating.

Instruction for preparation and application.
During the processing of dry mortar mixes MONOCRETE PPE TH it is generally necessary to comply with the principles contained in the relevant technological process BETOSAN for repair of reinforced concrete structures (TP n.1/06).
Base. Any incoherent, loose, weatherworn or otherwise visibly damaged concrete shall be completely removed from the surface of the repaired base. Corroded reinforcement shall be carefully released and cleaned of any corrosive products before application of repair material, humidification of the base surface shall be properly and continually performed for at least 120 minutes. The properly humidified concrete shall be dully dump, and not covered with dump shining water film. If necessary, it is possible to anchor the material to the base with the adhesive bridge DENSOCRETE 111.
Preparation of repair mortar. The mortar is prepared by simple mixing with water. During stirring it is necessary to use a low-speed mixer with forced circulation. The recommended mixing ratio is specified in the following table:
| Indication/type of mortar | max size of fillers | Recommended mixing ratio | Thickness of applied layer in single working area | ||
| Dry component (kg) | Water (litres) | min. (mm) | max. (mm) | ||
| MONOCRETE PPE TH f fine | 1 mm | 25 | 3,70 ÷ 3,95 | 5 | 12 |
| MONOCRETE PPE TH r medium | 4 mm | 25 | 3,45 ÷ 3,70 | 10 | 25 |
| MONOCRETE PPE TH c coarse | 8 mm | 25 | 3,40 ÷ 3,65 | 20 | 40 |
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.
Mortar application can be done either manually or by dry or wet spraying. The mortar can be manually applied either by rendering or fining off.
First layer (connecting) needs to be applied in such a way to ensure that no unfilled spaces are created (behind reinforcement, in caverns etc.). After initial application it is recommended to spread the mortar into pores and uneven spaces. This can be done well with flat paint brush with short hair, or by a toothed trowel. Proper adhesion of the material to substrate in application stage is basic condition for good quality adhesion in the final state. In localized repairs it is necessary to pay appropriate attention to edge regions or repaired area, where the edge needs to be properly compacted, without entrapped air pockets or other non-homogeneities. The repair is always done from place of deepest degradation, in such a way that the final layer it to be continuous over entire area, if possible.
Surface finalization. After initial setting of the last layer, smoothing by a dry polyurethane finisher is used for surfacing. Wet surfacing is not allowed. If the surface is to be smoothed with fine spread coating (e.g. DENSOFIX), ruling off by a wooden tamper is sufficient.
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 treatment agents DENSOCURE W and DENSOCURE R proved well.
Specific consumption
Specific consumption of dry mortar is 1.7 ÷ 1.8 kg/m2 at 1 mm of layer thickness. In spray application, it is necessary to count with loss of 10 ÷ 12 %.
