GLOSSY CRETE

Description

  • RATIO 2:1 (Cement to Glossy Crete by weight)
  • Bonding Agent and polymer Component for Repair of Mortars and Cement Screeds for Waterproofing and for Polymer Cement Concrete
  • GLOSSYCRETE is an Acrylic Based Bonding Agent and Polymer Company for Repair Mortars and Cement Screeds for Waterproofing and for Polymer cement Concrete.
  • In conjunction with cement provides properties to combat the shortcomings of cement particularly its poor adhesive properties, low impact strength, low flexural strength and thin section fragility.
  • GLOSSYCRETE adds to the potential use as well as to the properties of cement mortar making them excellent choices for use in new or renovation work.
  • GLOSSYCRETE can be as admixture to cement mortar and screed.
  • GLOSSYCRETE can be used as bonding agent old concrete / mortar to new concrete.

 

Fields of Application

  • GLOSSYCRETE is suitable for use in following application based on characteristics listed above:
  • The production of structural leveling compounds and bonded screeds.
    The Production of repair mortars, e.g. in the repair and filling of structural concrete in bridge building and civil engineering.
  • For waterproofing mortars for roofs, basements, water tanks, swimming pools, bathroom / kitchen etc.
  • Cold – joins between old and new concrete can be made strong and non = permeable with a banding slurry consisting of GLOSSYCRETE and cement mortar.
  • Improvement of the Mechanical and Technological characteristics of ready – to use coarse and fine repair mortars intended for the repair of concrete.
  • Suitable for Injection grouting in basement, underground / overhead tanks/ RCC elevation etc.
  • Suitable for waterproofing coating in basement, underground/overhead tanks / RCC elevation bathroom / kitchen sunken portion, swimming pools etc.

 

Application

  • Application of GLOSSYCRETE in mortar system / concrete admixture.
  • Before application the surface should be clean with water.
  • Once the pre-moistened concrete has dried the bond coat is forcefully brushed in to the base by brush. 
  • The polymer mortar is then applied wet – on – wet to the bond coat while it is fresh.

 

Application of GLOSSYCRETE in coating system

  • The base must be clean and free form loose scales, existing paint or any foreign matter.
  • This can be done by scarifying, grinding, water blasting, and sand blasting, acid washing or by any other approved method, unsound areas should be removed until sound concrete is located.
  • Wet the surface at least one hour prior to the application of first coat of GLOSSYCRETE on vertical/inclined surface.
  • Before placing GLOSSYCRETE coating, all water shall be removed so that the surface is only damp or dry. In no case, there shall be standing water or shiny wet surface.
  • Fill the surface cracks with GLOSSYCRETE putty (1 kg Cement + 2 Kg
    Silica + 1 Kg GLOSSYCRETE)

 

Dosage

  • Make a mixture of 2 Kg cement + 1 Kg. GLOSSYCRETE.
  • This mixture has to be applied by brush on surface.
  • Apply 3 coats of mixture with an interval of minimum 4 hours, or after drying.
  • Use the mixture within 2 hours.

 

Curing for mortar system / concrete admixture

  • GLOSSYCRETE inhibits rapid drying – out of the fresh mortar the mortar should all the same be suitably protected from rapid drying in order to ensure uniform development of strength.
  • Please note that all generally applicable regulations and working principles must be observed when using GLOSSYCRETE for the production and application of cement mortars / plasters.
