Concrete, despite being a very strong and resilient material, is not immune to cracks, chips, or holes. It's possible to encounter situations where concrete needs repair to restore its original appearance and prevent further deterioration. The degradation of concrete not only impacts its aesthetic appeal but can also pose safety risks, especially in cases of concrete floors or stairs where holes and cracks can become hazardous. Concrete can deteriorate due to various factors including freezing, impacts, moisture, corrosion, or natural wear and tear. These factors vary based on the environment it's exposed to.
Solution
PROMPT natural cement offers several advantages, such as quick setting, strong adhesion, and durability. Whether used in mortar or concrete, PROMPT natural cement saves time on construction sites. It's the ideal solution for routine repairs, both indoors and outdoors. This cement can even be applied in challenging or aggressive environments, including saltwater or brackish water areas. It's suitable for high-rise projects and emergency work in hazardous environments.
Technique
The technique involves carefully preparing, cleaning, and dampening the surface to be repaired. Create mortar using PROMPT natural cement, sand, and optionally, a retarder like TEMPO to ensure a uniform mixture. Add water and mix until you achieve a consistent mortar. Apply the mortar using a trowel to achieve a smooth surface. Finally, during placement, tightly press the mortar around the edges to ensure proper adhesion.
Natural PROMPT Vicat cement can be used for various types of concrete repair work, including window sills, panels, lintels, stair treads, sewer slabs, drains, floor concrete, sidewalk curbs, and more.
PROMPT natural cement is particularly well-suited for concrete repair projects due to its ability to be applied in thick layers and its rapid return to service. Additionally, it's highly durable in aggressive environments. Another advantages is that it allows for intervention on different types of concrete, regular concrete, waterproofing work, or even for filling holes. Thanks to its fine texture, PROMPT natural cement offers excellent adhesion, allowing it to bond effectively with various construction materials. Furthermore, the mineralogical composition of PROMPT natural cement makes it a highly durable and resilient material over the long term.
