EMACO® S89 CT
Shrinkage compensated, polymer fibre reinforced, thixotropic repair mortar
Description of Product
EMACO S89 CT is a pre-bagged ready-to-use
structural repair mortar in powder form. When
mixed with the correct amount of water, it produces
a thixotropic, high strength repair mortar, reinforced
with acrylic polymer fibre.
It possess excellent bond characteristics to steel
reinforcement and to concrete.
EMACO S89 CT mortar is shrinkage compensated.
It has low permeability and is extremely durable.
EMACO S89 CT contains no metallic aggregate
and is chloride-free.
EMACO S89 CT is formulated for sprayed or
trowelled applications – in thicknesses up to 50
mm in one layer by hand application. Greater
thicknesses can be achieved when spray applied.
Typical Applications
All types of structural repair which can be
applied by trowel or wet spray
Repair of structural members subjected to
repetitive loading
Repair to reinforced or pre-stressed beams or
columns
Protection of concrete subject to attack from
water containing chlorides and sulphates, etc.
Repairs in industrial areas, especially those
containing mineral oils and lubricants
Repairs in marine environments
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
