Morcemrest® EF 50 R4
High resistance monocomponent R4 repair mortar for large thicknesses.
Additional information
Composition
Product based on special cements, selected aggregates and additives, reinforced with fibres.
Features and applications
- Repair mortar class R4 according to EN-1504-3.
- High adherence to concrete and high modulus.
- Thixotropic, without sagging in ceiling applications.
- Water vapour permeable.
- Good chloride resistance.
- Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles.
- Joint filling between concrete sections, prefabricated elements and expansion joints.
- Shrinkage compensated to minimize risk of cracking.
- High resistance to carbonation.
- Weatherproof.
- Indoor and outdoor application.
- Repairs of structural elements such as columns, bridge girders, water treatment plants, tunnels, pillars with large load transfer.
- Concrete regeneration.
Substrates
- The substrate must be sound, clean, and free of grease, oil, dust and badly-bonded parts (minimum tensile strength of 1.5 MPa).
- If necessary, prepare the same preferably using mechanical means and leave the new concrete uncovered.
- The absorbent substrates should be previously wetted until they are saturated, preventing waterlogging, apply MORCEMREST EF 50 once the surface has a matt appearance.
- If there are reinforcements, they should be clean of rust, grease, oil and other badly-bonded particles.
- If they are rusty, they must be sandblasted or metal brushed. Protect from corrosion with IMPLAREST C.
- In vertical and horizontal wall joints, widen the joint by cutting it up to about 10 mm wide with a radial saw, removing the cut material afterwards.
Instructions for use
Mortar mix:
- Add the prepared 2/3 parts water and progressively mix all of the powder while stirring. Then add the remaining water and mix for another 2 minutes. Do not prepare more material than what you are going to use for 30 minutes. (a +20ºC).
Application:
- Apply MORCEMREST EF 50 with a trowel or projected with a gun, applying pressure to assure bonding and compact the material firmly.
- MORCEMREST EF 50 can be applied in a few layers, the minimum layer thickness being 5 mm. Applications of up to 50 mm can be made on vertical surfaces without the help of formworks. The maximum thickness for horizontal surfaces is 100 mm.
- Fill the joints completely
Curing:
- Protect from the wind, frost and sun during hardening. To prevent excessive drying out, it is recommended to cover the surface with wet hessians or plastic during curing.
- Observe protection procedures after application.
Cautions and recommendations
- Do not add more than the recommended amount of water and do not re-knead.
- Do not apply below 5ºC nor above 30ºC
- Do not add cement, sand or any other substance which will alter the product properties.
- Instruments and tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use to prevent material hardening, which has to be eliminated by mechanical means.
- Contact the Technical Department for any application not specified in this datasheet.
- For any information regarding the safe handling, transport, storage and use of the product please refer to the updated version of the Product Safety Datasheet.
