Morcemrest^® RF 35 R3

Composition

Product based on special cements, selected aggregates and additives, reinforced with fibres.

Features and applications

• Class R3 repair mortar in compliance with EN-1504-3
• High strength adhesion for bonding to concrete and average module.
• Thixotropic, no sagging on roof applications.
• Water vapour permeable.
• Retraction compensated to minimise risk of cracking.
• Good resistance to chlorides.
• Resistant to freeze-thawing cycles.
• Good workability
• High resistance to carbonation.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
• Weather resistant.
• Repairs to structural elements such as: balcony overhangs, roofs, car parks, beams / pillars on commercial and residential buildings, prefabricated panels, building façades.
• Regularisation of concrete surfaces.
• Lining of canals, tunnels, bridge and balcony overhangs.
• Rendering of elevator pits, chambers, etc.
• Foundations and repairs to paving.

Substrates

• Substrate must be in good condition, clean, free of grease, oil and badly bonded parts (minimum traction resistance of 1.5 MPa).
• If necessary, make a preparation preferably by using mechanical means and leave to cover the healthy concrete.
• Absorbent substrates must be dampened prior to saturating them, avoiding water logging, apply the product once the surface has acquired a matt appearance.
• If there are any reinforcements, these must first be cleaned of rust, grease and other badly bonded parts. If they are rusted, clean them with sand jets or with a grooved metal brush. Protect the rust with IMPLAREST C.
• On joints of vertical and horizontal supporting walls widen the joint by cutting it to a width of 10 mm with a radial arm saw, and removing the cut material.

Instructions for use

Mixing the mortar:

• Add 2/3 parts of water and progressively mix the total amount of powder while stirring. Next add the remaining water and mix for 2 more minutes. Do not prepare more product than is going to be used for 30 minutes (at + 20ºC).

Application:

• Apply MORCEMREST RF 35 with a trowel or spray gun, apply pressure to ensure adhesion and compact the material firmly.
• MORCEMREST RF 35 can be applied in several layers, with a minimum thickness of 5 mm per layer. On vertical surfaces thicknesses of up to 35 mm can be applied without the aid of molds. The maximum thickness per layer on horizontal surfaces is 75 mm.
• On vertical and horizontal interior wall joints, completely fill the width of the joint.

Curing:

• Protect from wind, ice and sun while product is hardening. To avoid excessive drying it is necessary to cover the surface with moist sackcloth or plastic while curing.
• The curing operation is necessary in all cases.

Cautions and recommendations

• Do not extra water to the mortar other than the recommended amount nor remix.
• Do not apply under 5ºC nor above 30ºC.
• Do not add cement, sand or other substances that could affect the material's properties.
• On surfaces exposed to exceptional circumstances, it is advisable to use the epoxy bonding bridge IMPLAREST EPW.
• Tools and instruments should be washed with water immediately after use, to avoid hardening of the material which would need to be removed mechanically.
• Consult the Technical Department for any application not specified in this Technical Datasheet.
• For all information regarding safety during handling, transport, storage and use of product please consult the current version of the Product's Safety Sheet.
• When applying the repair mortar without a bonding bridge, the foundation of concrete must be rough, clean and well moistened before, but the surface must be free of water at the time of application, that is, the foundation must not be waterlogged. The repair mortar must be applied making it penetrate into the foundation previously prepared and must be compacted avoiding the inclusion of air in order to obtain the required strength, and to protect the reinforcement from corrosion.
