How to repair a vertical surface

As the classic wrote: "Nothing lasts forever under the moon," and even such a seemingly durable material as concrete is eventually exposed to adverse external factors. This leads to the appearance of voids, loose areas and cracks in its structure.

First of all, the surface layer of concrete is susceptible to this. But thanks to modern technologies, there is still a way to stop the degradation of concrete and reinforced concrete structures in a timely manner and extend their service life for many years. It is for this purpose that the Teknorep line of innovative thixotropic non-shrink repair mix was developed.

Repair compositions for vertical surfaces Teknorep are dry soluble mixtures of gray color based on special cement, fine-grained aggregate containing high-modulus fiber and polymer additives that help compensate for shrinkage. When sealed with water, Teknorep repair solutions form a plastic thixotropic composition with high adhesion to concrete and metal.

Depending on the degree of destruction of reinforced concrete structures, Monolit-build offers the following types of Teknorep line products:

Teknorep 200 is a thixotropic thin-layer mixture that is used to fill screwdrivers and bubble gaps in concrete. The thickness of its application varies from 3 to 30 mm, which makes it possible to use this mixture as a putty for the restoration repair of concrete surfaces of all reinforced concrete structures.


 

Teknorep 300 is a thixotropic cement–based mixture designed for structural repairs of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. The thickness of the application of 10-40 mm allows you to eliminate deeper defects in the structure of concrete.

Teknorep 300 Ex is a thixotropic mixture with increased bending strength and application thickness of 10-40 mm, which makes it excellent for structural repairs of concrete and iron structures that are subject to higher loads.

 

 

Based on this, we can safely conclude that the Teknorep repair product line for vertical surfaces has a very wide range of applications.

But despite the differences in technical characteristics and applications of Teknorep repair solutions, they are all quite simple to prepare and install. But it is still necessary to follow a certain technology of surface preparation. It should be clean, rough and free of active leaks.

For better adhesion, it is recommended to apply Teknorep thixotropic mixture after using Teknolatex 300 actyl primer.
