Reinforcement preparation
1. Clean all exposed reinforcement rust by wire brushing or other
approved means.
Caution:
When the rust has been removed, the diameter of the
reinforcement shall be measured. Should the
reinforcement lose more than 10 % of its original cross
sectional areas, the Superintending Officer must decide on
fixing new reinforcement or otherwise.
2. Remove all dust and debris from the repair area using clean,
oil-free compressed air.
3. If anti-corrosion primer is required, apply Sika® MonoTop® -
910N onto the reinforcement bars.
Apply the patching mortar with traditional tools (wood float, trowel or
spatula) using rendering technique to fill all voids and pores. When
reinforcement is exposed, ensure the mortar is well filled and
compacted behind the bars. Press hard and force the material
against the edges of the repair, working toward the centre.
Finish the patching with a clean steel trowel, wood float or sponge
(depending on the required finish texture).
Cleaning Clean all tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened mortar can only be removed mechanically.
Safety Precaution As cement is alkaline and may cause irritation to certain allergic
people, applicators are recommended to wear gloves while working
with any Sika® MonoTop®. For more information, please consult
our respective Safety Data Sheet (available upon request).
