SikaEmaco® S 348 trowelable mortar is a dual shrinkage compensated, thixotropic high strength formulation for structural concrete repairs. SikaEmaco® S 348 is suitable for placing in thicknesses of 12mm to 50 mm both vertically and overhead. SikaEmaco® S 348 provides a durable, strong structural repair fully compatible with host concrete.
USES:SikaEmaco® S 348 is the ideal material for vertical, horizontal or overhead structural repairs where the thickness of repair is more than 10-12 mm and use of hand or machine applied structural repair systems is required. Typical applications are: ▪ Extensive repairs to beams, columns and other structural elements ▪ Cooling towers, chimneys, silos and other industrial structures ▪ Dams, Water treatment and sewerage facilities before subsequent coating ▪ Tunnels, pipes, outfalls and all below ground construction ▪ Marine structures, Jetty, Bridge Deck Slab etc.
CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES:
Dual shrinkage compensated - volume stable in wet and hardened state reducing cracking tendency ▪ One component, factory made only addition of water - uniform predictable performance even in remote situations ▪ ▪ No bonding agent required - simple installation Impermeable to aggressive elements - long life repairs ▪ Sprayable - able to repair complex profiles easily with minimal rebound ▪ ▪ Fast and easy placing - reduced time for repairs.
APPLICATION:
The minimum temperatures must be maintained during application and for at least 24 hours thereafter for optimum curing of the product. The prepared substrate should be pre-soaked, preferably for 24 hours, but at least 2 hours before applying SikaEmaco® S 348. The surface must be saturated surface dry, but without standing water. SikaEmaco® S 348 can be spray or hand applied. Apply mixed product directly to the prepared damp substrate, or wet on wet onto the primed surface. Spraying the material with the necessary pressure will ensure good adhesion of the material. A thin scrape coat or contact layer before building up to the required thickness, wet on wet, will improve adhesion especially in case of hand application. Apply to the desired layer thickness of 12 to max 50 mm and level using a screeding bar, trowel or wooden board. Can be applied in thicker layers in smaller patches or where additional reinforcement is present. Smoothing with a trowel or finishing by float or sponge can be done as soon as the mortar has begun to stiffen.
