Implarest^® C

Composition

Portland cement, selected aggregates, polymers and additives with good dispersion. Product formulated with corrosive inhibitors.

Features and applications

• Treating reinforcements with Implarest C is highly recommendable for applications where: 

- The depth of coverage is < 10 mm. - When the concrete is contaminated with chlorides. - When the repair cannot be carried out immediately after cleaningthe reinforcement.

• Mono-component product.
• It is only necessary to add water.
• High alkaline product.
• Passivation of steel surfaces.
• Gray colour.
• Permits control of coverage.
• Compatible with cements and steels used for repairs.
• Good adhesion to substrate.
• Cures in damp conditions.
• Easy to apply with brush.
• Cement based.
• Free from solvents.
• Bonding coat for the MORCEMREST range of mortars.

Substrates

• Eliminate damaged concrete leaving a minimum space of 20 mm beyond the corroded reinforcement. The area of application must be 50 mm thicker on the edges of the corroded reinforcement.
• Remove any remains of rust from the reinforcement using a needle gun or abrasive sandpaper.
• Remove any remaining dust and particles from the process with pressurised water. The reinforcement can be lightly dampened before applying Implarest C.

Instructions for use

MIXING

• Mix Implarest C in a suitable recipient with clean water using a low speed mixer until a uniform and creamy consistency is obtained.
• Add between 260 and 280 ml of water per kilo depending on the consistency necessary for application conditions.
• Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and stir just before applying. 

APPLICATION

• Apply the mixed product with a brush in a uniform layer at least 1 mm thick) all over the uncovered surface of the steel bar.
• On areas of greater corrosive aggression, once the first layer has hardened sufficiently (40-90 minutes), apply a second layer in the same way as the first.
• When the product has started to harden and before it dries, apply the repair mortar (fresh-on-fresh). 
• For an effective protection against corrosion, 2 layers of 1 mm should be applied.

CURING

• Do not apply Implarest C in temperatures lower than 5°C or it is expected to be lower than 5°C in the following 24 hours.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• The mixing equipment must be cleaned with water. The cured material should be cleaned mechanically.

Cautions and recommendations

• Implarest C is a cement-based product and could therefore irritate the eyes, skin and mucous membranes which should be protected with gloves and goggles while using the product. 
• It is recommendable to wear dust masks. 
• Rinse any splashes to the skin or eyes immediately with cold water. 
• If irritation persists, consult a doctor. 
• If product is accidently ingested, drink some water and consult a doctor.
• The product datasheet contains full safety information.

Packaging

1 and 4 kg tub. Implarest C must be stored in a sheltered dry place, protected against icy weather conditions and humidity. Product shelf life 1 year.
