Implarest^® C

Technical Caracteristics

Portland cement, selected aggregates, polymers and additives with good dispersion. Product formulated with corrosive inhibitors.

Advantages and Uses

• Treating reinforcements with Implarest C is highly recommendable for applications where: 
  • The depth of coverage is < 10 mm. 
  • When the concrete is contaminated with chlorides.
• Mono-component product.
• It is only necessary to add water.
• High alkaline product.
• Passivation of steel surfaces.
• Gray colour.
• Permits control of coverage.
• Compatible with cements and steels used for repairs.
• Good adhesion to substrate.
• Cures in damp conditions.
• Easy to apply with brush.
• Cement based.
• Free from solvents.
•  As a bonding bridge for the MORCEMREST and MORCEMSEAL range of mortars.

Suitable Substrates

• Eliminate damaged concrete leaving a minimum space of 20 mm beyond the corroded reinforcement. The area of application must be 50 mm thicker on the edges of the corroded reinforcement.
• Remove any remains of rust from the reinforcement using a needle gun or abrasive sandpaper.
• Remove any remaining dust and particles from the process with pressurised water. The reinforcement can be lightly dampened before applying Implarest C.

Application Procedure

MIXING

• Mix Implarest C in a suitable recipient with clean water using a low speed mixer until a uniform and creamy consistency is obtained.
• Add between 260 and 280 ml of water per kilo depending on the consistency necessary for application conditions.
• Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and stir just before applying. 

APPLICATION

• Apply the mixed product with a brush in a uniform layer at least 1 mm thick) all over the uncovered surface of the steel bar.
• On areas of greater corrosive aggression, once the first layer has hardened sufficiently (40-90 minutes), apply a second layer in the same way as the first.
• When the product has started to harden and before it dries, apply the repair mortar (fresh-on-fresh). 
• For an effective protection against corrosion, 2 layers of 1 mm should be applied.

CURING

• Do not apply Implarest C in temperatures lower than 5°C or it is expected to be lower than 5°C in the following 24 hours.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• The mixing equipment must be cleaned with water. The cured material should be cleaned mechanically.

Recommendations

• Implarest C is a cement-based product and could therefore irritate the eyes, skin and mucous membranes which should be protected with gloves and goggles while using the product. 
• It is recommendable to wear dust masks. 
• Rinse any splashes to the skin or eyes immediately with cold water. 
• If irritation persists, consult a doctor. 
• If product is accidently ingested, drink some water and consult a doctor.
• The product datasheet contains full safety information.

Packaging and Storage

1 and 4 kg tub. Implarest C must be stored in a sheltered dry place, protected against icy weather conditions and humidity. Product shelf life 1 year.

Notas

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
