ISR AG

Performance Characteristics

• Pumpable sustainable green technology Contains significant concentrations of both pre-and post-consumer recycled content.
• Low shrinkage Maintains integrity of repair, resists cracking.
• Thermal compatibility Prevents delamination due to temperature change.
• ECB-Tech corrosion protection Protects reinforcing steel in repair zone and suppresses ring anode effect.
• Durable Resistant to weathering action, excellent freeze/thaw stability and abrasion resistance.
• Low permeability Resistant to deicing salts, carbonation, chloride, and chemical attack.
• Dimensionally stable Ideal for large areas.
• Abrasion resistant Hard, durable surface for long term wear.

Surface Preparation

• Remove loose and deteriorated material, laitance, dirt, dust, oil and any surface contaminants that will inhibit proper bond.
• Saw cut edges with a diamond blade at a 90° angle to eliminate feather edging. Avoid polishing the edges as this will inhibit bond.
• Avoid bruising or micro cracking during surface preparation. Refer to ICRI Surface Preparation Guide 03732.
• Repair zone must be a minimum of 3/4 inch deep, of simple geometry, with no complex edge conditions.
• Avoid long narrow repairs; these have a tendency to crack.
• Saturate substrate with clean water, (saturated surface dry/SSD), with no standing water during Application.
• Remove concrete from corroded steel and several inches beyond to expose non-corroded steel.
• Provide a 3/4-inch clearance between the concrete and steel.
• Damaged reinforcing steel should be inspected by a qualified engineer an appropriate action taken.

Mixing

• Mechanically mix using a mortar mixer.
• Pour 3 quarts of potable water into a clean mixing vessel and slowly add all of the powder.
• Mix continuously for 3 minutes to a uniform, lump-free consistency.
• For trowel applications, do not exceed 3 quarts of water per bag. Proper mix ratio is 6 parts powder to 1 part water.
• Add additional water to increase slump and flowability for form and pour applications. Do not exceed 3.75 quarts of water per 60 lbs. of material. Proper mix ratio is 5 parts powder to 1 part water.
• 3.75 quarts of water will produce an 8-inch slump.
• Allow to “breathe” for 1 minute.
• Do not overmix, this will entrain excess air.

Application

• At the time of application, surfaces should be saturated surface dry (SSD) but hold no standing water.
• Form applications must be consolidated with vibrator.
• Place material continuously to break points.
• Finish with a magnesium float or trowel.
• Avoid overworking material during placement and finishing – this will produce surface (map) cracking.

Curing

• Dampen the repair with a fine mist of water for 24 hours or moist cure with wet burlap and polyethylene.
• Protect repair from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost during curing period.

Clean Up

• Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
• Cured material must be removed mechanically.

Coverage/Yield

• 0.49 ft³/60 lb. bag

Product Handling

• Packaging 60 lb. paper bag.
• Shelf Life 12 months when properly stored.
• Storage Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers. High temperature or high humidity will reduce shelf life.

Limitations

• Do not apply unless substrate and ambient temperature can be maintained at a minimum of 40°F for 24 hours. Refer to ACI Cold Weather Application Guidelines.
• Cold mixing water and low temperature will retard set. Hot water and high temperature will accelerate set.
• Protect application from precipitation and high wind for at least 8 hours.
• Do not add more water than specified, this will lower strengths and cause shrinkage cracking.
• Avoid overworking material during placement and finishing – this will produce surface (map) cracking.

Health and Safety

• Product is alkaline.
• Do not ingest.
• Avoid breathing dust.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information.

First Aid

• If swallowed, contact a medical professional immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a qualified medical professional.
• In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• In case of eye contact, flush with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes.
• For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air. If difficulty persists, contact a medical professional.

Disposal

• Dispose of material in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
