Sikacrete 113 PP

Sikacrete -113 PP
®

Free flowing, shrinkage compensated microconcrete for grouting and repair

®
Product Sikacrete -113 PP one component, free-flowing, high strength, cement based
Description micro- concrete with a maximum aggregate size of 5 mm. Suitable for use in tropical
and hot climatic conditions.

®
Uses  Sikacrete -113 PP used for the structural repair of deteriorated concrete.
 It is ideal for casting sections or members where the volumes required are too
large for conventional grouts, and too small and inaccessible for normal
concreting applications.
 A typical application is the re-profiling of damaged concrete members and
reprofiling of pile tops using formwork for both pouring and pumping
techniques.
 Also suitable for base plate grouting where thickness exceeds 75 mm.
Characteristics /  One component, requires the addition of water only
Advantages
 Reduced waste and risk of mixing failures
 Easy to mix, apply and finish
 Economical Excellent adhesion Shrinkage compensated Rapid strength
development
 Compatible with the properties of typical concrete
 Vapour permeable High resistance to freeze/thaw cycling
 Excellent flowability

System
Information

Application Details
Substrate Preparation

Concrete surfaces should be clean, sound and free from oil, grease, organic growth
& curing compounds.

Mechanically prepare concrete surfaces to remove laitance, curing compounds and

other loose materials back to sound concrete, to provide a mechanical key for the
subsequent product.
Repairs
For large volume repairs to columns, walls or soffits, mark the extremity of the
repair area and saw cut to a minimum depth of 10mm to define the area to be
removed.
Chip out the area within the saw cut back to sound concrete, to a minimum depth of
10 mm ensuring no feather edges and a good mechanical key for the Sika Crete
113 PP
If steel reinforcement is exposed, continue to break out the concrete to at least
15mm behind the bars, and mechanically prepare by grit blasting to remove rust,
contamination or other loose material.

Bonding Agent and Steel For standard concrete repair procedures:
Protection
Reinforcing should be treated with a suitable protective coating such as SikaTop
Armatec 110 EpoCem, SikaMonotop 610..
The concrete bond line should receive an application of a suitable bonding agent,
such as Sikadur-32, SikaMonotop 610 or SikaTop Armatec 110 EpoCem, will
improve adhesion on large areas or where particularly dense concrete substrates
are involved.
Surface Preparation for Cathodic Protection:
Apply cementitious slurry to the complete metal surface area.
All existing concrete surfaces should be pre soaked for an extended period
(minimum 1 hour) and dried out to a saturated surface dry condition immediately
prior to the repair application.
DO NOT use bonding resins or corrosion inhibitors for concrete or reinforcing
priming as it will restrict the performance of the Cathodic Protection systems
performance.

Application
Instructions
Mixing Accurately measure 3.0-3.50 litres (per 25kg pack powder) of drinking quality
water place 1.7 to 1.9 litres in a suitable empty container with sufficient volume to
accommodate the mixed material.
Slowly add the powder to the water and mix continuously for 2-3 minutes using a
slow speed drill and clean, rust free, mixing paddle or forced action mixer, until a
homogenous consistency is achieved.
Then add the remaining water and mix for an additional 2 minutes.
DO NOT MIX BY HAND OR PART MIX BAGS!

Application Before pouring, let the mixed mortar stand for 2 - 3 minutes after mixing to allow
entrapped air to escape.
Maintain sufficient hydrostatic head to keep the product flowing. Provide
channels for the air to escape while introducing the mortar.
After application of steel reinforcement protection and bonding agent, erect well
constructed, watertight formwork, which includes a breather pipe (to eliminate
trapped air) and a “letter box” opening in front to facilitate simple introduction of the
flowable mortar. Ensure the formwork is coated with a suitable release agent such
as Separol to facilitate easy de-moulding.
SikaCrete 113 PP may be introduced by tremie or 50mm diameter filling tube
installed into the bottom of the formwork. The flowable mortar is then fed by gravity
from an external reservoir through this filling pipe into the repair cavity, which is
sealed when repair void is filled completely
The application should be carried out in a continuous operation without breaks
therefore please ensure sufficient materials, equipment and labour are available to
achieve this. If the entire area cannot be finished in one go, we recommend
creating day joints to provide a neat edge to work to with the subsequent
application.
Protect from rain and curing liquids until initial set has been achieved.
Curing Treat exposed surfaces with Antisol-E Curing Compound or use other approved
Curing methods such as polyethylene sheeting or wet hessian. (Do not commence
Fogging until final set has been reached).

Cleaning Clean equipment and mixer after application with water. Hardened material can
only be removed mechanically.

Remarks Ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking
During placing and curing. At high temperatures use chilled water for mixing
to keep grout temperature below 30°C. In hot weather, base plates and
Foundations must be shaded from direct sunlight. Condition bags prior to
use.
