ADVANTAGES

Shrinkage compensation – reduces the risk of cracking due to shrinkage and ensures full contact with host concrete and load transfer in structural repair situations
No primer required – allows rapid application at reduced cost
Can be spray applied – rapid application of large quantities
Low rebound – when spray applied rebound is minimal, with subsequent saving in material cost
Extremely low permeability – gives excellent resistance to attack by aggressive elements
