An incredible fast and strong concrete floor repair mortar for larger holes that need to be filled quickly. Cures 3 times stronger than concrete in only 2 hours!
Cretex Fastset is an acrylic-based mortar that is immensely strong, accepting heavy traffic in only 1 hour and cures to over 3 times the strength of concrete in under 2 hours.
Cretex Fastset cures from 30ºC down to freezing conditions and, due to the size of aggregate is excellent for the larger repairs. It can be laid easily to a smooth or rough finish depending upon the ease of cleaning or slip resistance required.
Typical Uses
Its extreme curing characteristics make Cretex Fastset ideal for rapid repairs to floors, steps, nosing, kerbs and expansion joint in areas of constant traffic. It may be used to improve the mechanical resistance and load-bearing characteristics of concrete floors. Cretex Fastset is ideal for use in low temperature interior and exterior environments.
Suitable Substrates
Cretex Fastset may be applied to clean, dry concrete with a moisture content not exceeding 5%.
Colour
Cretex Fastset is grey in colour.
Packaging
Cretex Fastset is available in a 27kg unit made up of a unit of resin and a pre-blended specialist hardener and aggregate mix.
Pot life: 10-15 mins @ 20oC
Application temperature: 0oC to + 30oC
Application thickness (1 layer):10mm – 50mm
Fully cured strength: 75kN/mm2
Number of parts supplied: 3
Priming required: The substrate should first be primed with Polycote MC Primer
Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.
Surface Preparation
THOROUGH SUBSTRATE PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL.
Concrete repairs should be prepared with squared off edges having a 10mm minimum vertical lip. Remove all loose material – wire brushing is advisable. Sweep clean or vacuum.
The surface must be free from grease, oil or contamination. Ensure concrete is dry (moisture
content not exceeding 5%) before priming.
Caution – Cretex Fastset is a methyl methacrylate based resin and has a characteristic odour during the vaporising of the solvent. Although non-toxic and non-injurious to health, this can cause tainting and OPEN food products should therefore be removed or sealed during and following application until the vapour has dispersed.
Priming
The substrate should first be primed with Polycote MC Primer, brushing thoroughly into the entire surface. Once applied, sprinkle 0.5-0.9mm Calcined Bauxite or a suitable kiln-dried
quartz aggregate onto the WET PRIMER to provide a mechanical surface key for the material.
Allow the primer to cure, normally within 40 minutes.
Mixing
Using a clean plastic bucket of at least 25L capacity, add the resin to the powder and mix for 3 minutes using a heavy duty slow speed drill with a 0-15 litre mixing paddle until a homogenous mix is achieved.
ENSURE THOROUGH MIXING AS AN UNMIXED PRODUCT WILL RESULT IN A POOR OR NON-CURE SITUATION.
Application
The material should be placed immediately after mixing.
Trowel out to the required smoothness. DO NOT TAMP as this may cause the resin to rise to the surface leaving a weakened bond at the base of the repair material. Where the depth of repair requires more than one layer (see ‘Application Thickness’) MC Primer should be applied between layers to aid intersection bonding – see ‘Priming’.
For vertical repairs – where step nosings or expansion joint edges have broken away, the vertical face of the repair material should be supported to prevent slumping.
Suitable sized wooden shuttering should be covered with polythene to reduce adhesion and should be removed as soon as the material is firm.
Application Thickness
The recommended application thickness of Cretex Fastset is 10mm – 50mm in one layer.
