Betonfix MONOLITE N

Betonfix MONOLITE N is CE marked as an R4 (CC for wet way test and PCC for dry way test) mortar according to EN 1504-3 and for systems for the protection of reinforcing steel (according to 1504-7). It is CE marked as a protective coating according to 1504-2, intervention principles C, MC and IR. Betonfix MONOLITE N is part of Kimisteel GLV 650B SYSTEM which got the CVT n. 207.

The substrate must be perfectly clean, compact, free from dust, grease, varnishings, etc. Carefully remove degraded and inconsistent concrete hammering the surface until you get a compact substrate. The superficial tensile strength of concrete “Pull off” mustn’t be lower than 1,5 Mpa as indicated in the substrate quality check procedures according to EN 1504-10. Remove the concrete in contact with the exposed metal reinforcement using a needle gun and then sandblasting it. Soak the area to be treated and remove any possible standing water, before the casting. Betonfix MONOLITE N is a ready-to-use product with the simple addition of drinking water for each package, depending on the quantity shown in the table. Mixing must be carried out in a cement mixer or in the mixer of the spraying machine for at least 5 minutes until you get a proper plastic, homogeneous, lump-free mixture. A mortar mixer or a drill equipped with an agitator can be used, it depends on the quantity to be prepared. Mixing must take place at low speed to avoid entrapping air. Introduce 3/4 of water required and continuously both product and remaining water until you get the consistency desired. Apply by trowel or by spray with suitable plastering machine. Kimitech AD latex can be added to the product. It is an expansive curing additive, which can reduce shrinkage. Kimitech BC latex can be added to give to the mortar greater flexibility and adhesion*. It is recommended to roughen the surface by bush hammering and apply the mortar with a thickness such as to create a concrete layer of at least 2 cm. The discretionary insertion of a suitable galvanized electro-welded metal mesh to improve the seal of the mortar layer does not alter its mechanical characteristics. *The optional addition of these latexes in reduced percentages (Kimitech AD 0,25% - 1% by weight of the product and Kimitech BC not exceeding 5%) does not lead to substantial changes in the physical and mechanical characteristics of the product. The setting values related to mechanized application are the following: • machine type model PFT G5, • with lung type D7, • pipe parameters: - diameter d=30mm, - length L=30m.
