Step 1
Surface Preparation
- Broken or worn concrete surfaces to be repaired must be clean, dry and free of any loose, friable material.
- A wire brush, sweeping or an industrial vacuum is effective for removing surface contamination.
- Any additional material within the repair area which may compromise the effectiveness of the repair can be knocked out with a hammer and chisel.
- Any small areas of oil, grease or other non-toxic chemical can be removed using RizistalClean or Rizistal Safer Solvent.
Step 2
Primer the Repair Area
- We recommend using Rizistal Epoxy Tack Coat Primer on both dry and damp substrates, especially where there is concern regarding the quality of the concrete.
- The primer has excellent penetrative qualities on porous concrete, improves the strength of the concrete, and provides and effective bonding layer for the Repair Mortar.
- Mix the two components together thoroughly.
- Apply using a short pile roller or paint brush to the entire working concrete surface in one thick coat.
- Leave to cure for 60 minutes at 15 – 20°C.
-
- Mix Contents Thoroughly
-
- Apply 1 Thick Coat
Step 3
Repair Concrete with Epoxy Repair Mortar
- Each pack of Rizistal Epoxy Repair Mortar is two part product containing an aggregate & resin blend, and a separate tin of hardener.
- Mix the two components with a trowel, a mixing paddle attached to a drill or by using gloved hands.
- The product is ready to install once you achieve a uniform colour and consistency.
- Apply the mixed Repair Mortar to the repair surface, compact and smooth using a trowel or float.
TOP TIP: To prevent streaks or sticking, wipe the blade with with Rizistal Safer Solvent.
