REPAIR MORTARS FLEXOMIX 30 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Mortar with a low modulus of elasticity, thixotropic and fibre-reinforced, for the volumetric repair of rebuilt reinforced concrete all in one solution, with an excellent surface finish. PRODUCT APPLICATION • To level the surface of deteriorated beams and columns • To renovate balcony bands • To restore superficial concrete defects such as loose stone foundations, chipped parts, etc • To repair deteriorated concrete covers • To level waterproofed surfaces with Plastivo and/or Aquascud • High impermeability • Good resistance against the aggression of atmospheric chemical agents • Low modulus of elasticity that is capable of following the movements of the structure • Structural repair of concrete • Excellent adhesion to concrete and reinforcement bars • Levelling of cement-based surfaces • Easy processing and quick spray application without formwork Preparing the surfaces Adhesion of FLEXOMIX 30 to the surface, which is absolutely necessary to ensure repair resistance, depends on the quality of the surface preparation on which the mortar is to be applied. Therefore, the following steps must be carried out in advance: • Carefully remove all deteriorated parts by sand-blasting or bush-hammering • Roughen the surface, removing any film or cement latex • Clean each exposed reinforcement bar from rust and apply protective SANOFER on the cleaned bars • Thoroughly soak the surfaces with water, keeping them damp from when the application process begins Preparing the mixture FLOWMIX 30 is ready to use; mixing water must be added as follows: • Pour the mixing water into a mortar mixer (4÷4.5 l per bag equivalent to 17% in weight) • Slowly add the product while the mixer is on • Mix the mixture for approximately 3 minutes, then check its workability. If necessary, add a little
