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. Dusty, dry substrates should be lightly dampened with water to reduce suction.

Mixing
The recommended mixing ratio of powder to liquid is 10kg powder to 600ml water by weight, the water in a suitable mixing bucket and gradually add the powder whilst mixing until a slump free trowelable consistency is obtained. Mix thoroughly for at least 1 minute using a heavy duty, slow speed drill and mixing paddle.
DO NOT MIX MORE THAN CAN BE APPLIED IN 10 MINUTES.

Having prepared and pre-wetted the substrate, apply the material using a trowel IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING.

Application Temperature
Normal application temperature is between 5˚C and 30˚C.
For colder environments down to –20˚C minimum, preheating may be necessary as described under ‘Mixing’ above, and the repair may require insulated covering.
For more information on this please phone Polycote Technical Department.

Application Thickness
The recommended range of application thickness is from 20mm minimum to 50mm maximum in one layer.
Thinner applications down to 5mm may be applied but the strength of the product may be compromised.
