Concrete Repair and Protection
Cement-based polymer-modified or polymer-binder-based mortars are used for concrete repair and rehabilitation.
The particular characteristics of such mortars are: Good workability also for overhead application, applicable by hand or machine, low shrinkage, good bond to the substrate and high long-term durability.
To protect concrete from further deterioration, all-over applied protection systems are used.
Such systems can consist of a water-repellent impregnation, an invisible coating or a coloured coating.
Depending on condition and requirements also elastic systems can be used, able to permanently close movement cracks and thus guarantee durable protection of the structures from further deterioration.
Special Sika products for concrete repair and protection:
- Admixtures for site batch mortars, e.g. emulsions.
- Corrosion protection, ready to use repair mortars, finishing and pore mortars for hand and/or mechanical application as well as anti-corrosion inhibitors.
- Impregnations, paint and coatings for concrete protection.
