CPR 722 – Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar

Description

Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar

CPR 722 – Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar is a versatile, rapid curing, high strength, two pack mortar suitable for many applications in building and civil engineering. The product consists of a low viscosity unsaturated polyester resin BASE component, and a FILLER component consisting of graded minerals and catalyst.

CPR 722 – Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar has a non-critical mix ratio, which allows the consistency to be varied from pourable to trowellable without adversely affecting curing times or strength.

Typical Properties

• Fast curing even at low temperatures
• High strength development
• Easy and simple to use
• Non-critical mix ratio
• Excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry surfaces
• Negligible shrinkage
• Very good chemical resistance

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

• Remove all laitance, spalled concrete, grease, oil, dust, and other contaminants by mechanical means e.g. scabbling or needle gunning, to provide a sound, clean substrate.
• Any exposed reinforcing steel shall be fully exposed by cutting out around its full circumference, and cleaned by hand abrading or wire brushing to remove rust, scale, etc.

Priming

• In the case of very dense or non-absorbent substrates prime the surface with a wet mix of Base and Filler (in a 1:1 volume mix).
• Ensure that all exposed reinforcing steel is primed.

Mixing

• Pour the required quantity of resin, (Base component), into a clean plastic bucket, and slowly add the Filler component whilst stirring.
• Add sufficient Filler to achieve the desired consistency.
• Do not mix more material than can be used within the stated pot life.

Application

• The mixed material may be applied by pouring or trowelling, depending upon the consistency selected.
• The maximum thickness in one application is 15mm.
• Thicker sections may be built up in layers, having firstly roughened the surface between layers to provide a mechanical “key”.

Equipment Cleaning

• Clean equipment with CPR 201 – Tool Clean Solvent immediately after use.

Curing & Overcoating

• CPR 722 – Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar will have hardened sufficiently after 1 hour at 20°C or 2 hours at 10°C, to allow full trafficking or overcoating.
• Full mechanical and chemical resistant properties will be achieved after 7 days @ 20°C.

Storage and Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
• CPR 722 – Polyester Concrete Repair Mortar has a minimum shelf life of 6 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

Packaging
