Silico Flow is a Dry-Ready Mix Cementitious-Based Product formulated for use in repairs/restoration of areas where the concrete is damaged. It can be used where movement is restricted and it is difficult to pour/place conventional concrete in the area to be repaired. Silico Flow meets the requirements of Greenpro ecolabel and qualifies as a green product.
It is a pourable mortar with high flow, dual shrinkage compensated and high strength specially formulated for repairs and restoration of damaged or weakened structural concrete members.
Silico Flow is ready-to-use Drymix Flowable Micro-Concrete in which only the addition of plain water at the site is required to obtain a non-shrink-free flowing repairs micro-concrete. This product contains performance-enhancing additives that provide controlled expansion characteristics in the plastic as well as hardened state, reducing crack formation and minimize water demand.
Clean the surface and remove loose concrete, dust, oil, paint, grease, waterproof coating, etc.
Expose any corroded steel in the repair area and remove all scale and corrosion deposits. Apply rust remover for rust-free bars.
For cathodic protection, apply epoxy zinc primer over the cleaned re-bars and allow it to dry before pouring of silico flow micro concrete.
Saturate the substrate with water to prevent absorption of water from the mixed material.
Add around 80% to 85% of the predefined amount of water in the mixing vessel. Start addition of silico flow powder slowly under continuous mixing, preferably in a paddle mixer or a slow-speed mixer. Keep mixing for 2 minutes. Add the balance quantity of 15%-20% of mixing water and again mix for another 2–3 minutes to form a homogeneous, free-flowing uniform and lump-free mix. Allow the mix to rest for 2–3 minutes and then remix for a minute or two before applying.
Shuttering has to be water-tight to avoid any material loss and abnormal shrinkage or honeycombing.
Start the pour immediately and use the material within 20 minutes of mixing. Remove the shuttering preferably after 24–48 hours (depending on weather conditions).
Cure the repaired concrete for a minimum of 7 days or use a high-quality curing compound for curing.
In case of repairs beyond 80 mm, extend silico flow with 10 mm down aggregates.
