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)

that the full benefits of this technology are gained in use :
This in turn leads to a series of associated benefits :
