Key Features & Benefits
-
High Structural Strength: Meets Class R4 requirements (EN 1504-3) with high compressive strength (≥ 50 MPa @ 28 days).
-
Crack Resistant: Fiber-reinforced and shrinkage-compensated to minimize cracking and ensure long-term stability.
-
Easy Application: Thixotropic consistency allows for easy spraying or troweling on vertical and overhead surfaces.
-
Corrosion Protection: Chloride-free formulation ensures high bond strength to steel and concrete, protecting reinforcement from corrosion.
