Like any material, concrete is susceptible to mechanical damage. Therefore, from time to time there are situations when it is urgent to repair a damaged concrete base — for example, when it is impossible to stop the work of a warehouse or production for long-term repairs. It is for such purposes that the Teknogrout Rapid self-leveling repair mixture is designed, which we will talk about in more detail today.
What is Teknogrout Rapid Repair Mix?
The basis of this repair mixture includes cement, which provides high strength. The substance is delivered in dry form in a package of 25 kg. The substance does not shrink and is excellent for urgent repair work of concrete planes with pedestrian and automobile traffic.
Teknogrout Rapid is also used for assembling curbs, paving slabs, fixing bolts in concrete structures, strengthening hatches. The substance can be applied in a layer 10-60 mm thick, which makes it a universal tool for repairing cracks and other damage to concrete. The mixture quickly gains strength: after an hour > 16 N / mm2 (you can drive a full loader), after a day > 35 N / mm2. The final hardening takes place after 28 days — it is after such a period of time that the compressive strength reaches an index of more than 65.0 N / mm2.
What are the properties of Teknogrout Rapid repair mix?
Teknogrout Rapid cement- based single - component bulk mixture is characterized by the following characteristics:
- does not shrink
it is resistant to wear, moisture, chemicals, acids and oils, which makes it the optimal choice for repairing concrete structures in workshops, automobile workshops and other industrial premises- quick action: the possibility of commissioning within an hour after application
- water resistance
- suitability for use on old concrete planes
- ease of use
- resistance to freezing and thawing.
In conclusion, we note: high strength, no shrinkage and quick commissioning make Teknogrout Rapid one of the best modern mixes for quick repair of concrete foundations. In cases where it is required to apply a self-leveling solution with a layer of more than 60 mm, it is recommended to add a filler with a diameter of 5-12 mm to the mixture in a proportion of 30% of the total amount. This will allow you to make a durable coating even in the case when it is necessary to repair a deep crack or other damage.
