microconcrete for structural repairs of all types

Uses Properties

Renderoc LAXtra Plus is suitable for mass infill to structural The following typical results were obtained at a water:powder
repairs in all types of loadbearing situation. Typical ratio of 0.135
applications would include, but not be limited to,
Test method Typical result
the following :
Drying shrinkage to ASTM C157-93
„ Repairs to columns suffering from major loss of section 7 days :< 300 microstrain
„ Soffit repairs where heavy loadbearing is required 28 days :< 500 microstrain
Flexural strength :> 9 N/mm2 at 28 days
„ Repairs to restricted access areas, where use of hand (BS 6319 Pt.3)
applied mortars would prove impractical Compressive strength :> 45 N/mm2 at 3 days
„ Repairs requiring high fluidity e.g. heavily congested steel (BS 1881 Pt.1161) > 56 N/mm2 at 7 days
or repairs into re-entrant angles/concealed voids > 70 N/mm2 at 28 days
Water absorption :< 2%
„ Any repairs requiring significant levels of loadbearing (BS 1881 Pt. 122)

Advantages Note1: 100mm cubes, air cured @ 220C ± 1°C
