Micrete

Overview

Description

Micrete is supplied as a ready to use dry powder which requires only addition of clean water at site to produce a free flowing non-shrink repair micro concrete. This is a cementitious material, with additives, which impart controlled expansions characteristics in the plastic state while minimizing water demand. This is specially designed for repairs to damaged reinforced concrete elements, particularly where area is restricted and where vibration of the placed material is difficult or impossible. For larger repairs, the Micrete may be modified by the addition of 5mm to 12mm clean, graded, saturated surface dry aggregates at site. For exceptionally large repairs, the local FIRST CHOICE SPECIALITY CHEMICALS PRIVATE LIMITED office shall be consulted.

Applications
