Where to use:

Protective repairs to vertical and overhead concrete.

How to apply:

Trowel applied. Additional Information

Performance Characteristics

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.
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.
Long-term Protection
  • Resistant to deicing salts, carbonation, chloride, and chemical attack.
Dimensionally Stable
  • Suitable 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 1/2 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 and appropriate action taken.

Priming

  • Prime the prepared substrate including all edges with a bond coat of ISR VO. Work the bond coat into the substrate to ensure intimate contact and establish bond. ISR VO must be applied while bond coat is wet. If the bond coat dries, remove and reapply.
Embedded Metal and Steel
  • Remove all scaling rust from embedded metal and steel. Apply ECB anti-corrosion coating.

Mixing

  • Must be mechanically mixed using a low speed drill (400-600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer.
  • Pour 1 gallon 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.
  • Add up to 1 cup of additional water, if needed. Proper mix ratio is 4 parts powder to 1 part water.
  • Allow to “breathe” for 1 minute and remix for 1 minute. This will improve workability and extend open time
  • 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.
  • Place material continuously to break points.
  • Force the material against the edges of the repair, working toward the center.
  • Material may be applied in multiple lifts of not less than 1/2 inch and no greater than 2 inches.
  • Consolidate each lift and allow to stiffen to thumb-print hard before continuing.
  • Scratch (screed/open pores) each lift to prepare surface for subsequent lift.
  • Finish with a 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.

Product Handling

Packaging
  • 50 lb. bags
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

  • In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
  • For eye contact, flush immediately with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes and contact a medical professional.

In 2007 the Navy was concerned that the repairs to concrete at their worldwide facilities were failing prematurely. The Navy established a SBIR grant, "Development of a Crack-Resistant Durable Repair Material for Navy Structures".   Conproco was selected to partner with the Navy in this 3-year research and development effort. The technology developed is termed Internal Stress Relief. 

Cracking creates a pathway for water and contaminants to enter concrete.  Water causes corrosion of the reinforcing steel.  The resulting rust is an expansive force that causes additional cracking and ultimately, failures. ISR technology minimizes failures in concrete repairs by incorporating proprietary recycled rubber aggregate in the mortar to create a relief mechanism that mitigates the propagation of micro-cracking and interconnected cracks.    

Yes. ISR VO is a hand applied mortar for use in vertical and overhead applications as well as to fill deep repairs prior to applying the final inch with ISR CM. ISR AG can also be used in deep repairs placed either by trowel or as a form and pour/pump.
