It suits both hand application and wet-spray machine application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the formula\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mortar is based on sulphate resistant cement, selected lightweight aggregates, a corrosion inhibitor and polymer modification. Sika describes it as low shrinkage, low permeability and sulphate resistant. The low density makes it easier to build up thickness while still being suitable for structural repair. On a well prepared, roughened substrate a bonding primer is generally not needed, even when applying by hand. It can also be used as a repair mortar before Sikagard 62 and 63N coatings, and it is compatible with the Sika FerroGard sacrificial anode system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: repairing spalled or damaged concrete in buildings, including structural elements and superstructure works.\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors: repairing concrete in bridges and other infrastructure, and restoring cover over reinforcement where concrete has been contaminated or carbonated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for concrete repair, including restoration work and structural strengthening as set out in EN 1504-9.

Remove loose, contaminated and deteriorated material and clean any exposed reinforcement of rust, scale and dust. Roughen the substrate using abrasive blasting or high pressure water-blasting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-wet the prepared substrate about 2 hours before application and keep it in a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour 2.8 to 3.3 litres of clean water into a suitable container for each 20kg of powder. Add the powder while stirring slowly. Mix thoroughly for at least 3 minutes, using a low speed drill mixer (under 500 rpm) or a forced-action mixer for machine application. Small amounts can be mixed by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply by trowel, pressing the mortar firmly onto the substrate, or by wet-spray equipment. Finish once the mortar begins to stiffen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect the fresh mortar straight away from premature drying using a suitable curing method, such as a curing compound, damp geotextile or polythene sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApply only to sound, properly prepared substrate. Do not exceed the recommended water dosage, and do not add extra water while finishing, as this can cause discolouration and cracking. Avoid application in direct sun or strong wind, and protect freshly applied material from freezing. The recommended ambient and substrate temperature range for application is +5 °C to +30 °C. Final set is about 6 hours. For critical or structural repairs, follow the current Sika Product Data Sheet and the Sika method statement for concrete repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSika\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonoTop-352 NFG Structural Repair Mortar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20kg bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey powder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSulphate resistant cement, corrosion inhibitor, lightweight aggregates, polymer modified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand (trowel) or wet-spray machine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayer thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4mm minimum, 75mm maximum per layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMixing water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8 to 3.3 litres per 20kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 12.8 litres of mortar per 20kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConsumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 15.6kg of powder per cm thickness per m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh mortar density\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 1.8 kg\/l\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum grain size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinal set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 6 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass R3 of EN 1504-3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months in unopened, undamaged packaging, stored dry and cool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior and exterior concrete repair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a cement-based powder.
