Description: VCOLD is a rapid-setting structural repair mortar. It is designed primarily for the durable repair of concrete. Utilising all the latest technology this Portland cement-based and fibre-reinforced product is extremely strong and hard wearing. This makes it ideal for roads, runways, bridges, decks, floors and footpaths. Requiring only the addition of water, this single component mortar is rapid curing. VCOLD quick set mortar is physically and chemically compatible with the host concrete. This means it is quick to exhibit a high adhesive and compressive strength. Product name: VCOLD Compressive strength - 35 Mpa, in 6 hours - 50 Mpa, in 1 day - 80 Mpa, in 1 week Application temperature - In cold temperatures, tepid water may be used to adjust working life - In 20-40 temperatures, cold water should be used to adjust working life Mixing ratio: - 25kgs powder: 3,7L water - 5kgs powder: 0.7L water Uses of VCOLD VCOLD is used on floors that are subjected to heavy wear such as: - Roads - Runways - Bridges - Decks - Floors - Footpaths The repair mortar can be used as supplied up to 100mm deep. It can also be bulked out with clean, washed, sharp sand to form a high performance screed or for floor or deck repairs up to maximum depth of 300mm. One barrel 25kgs of VCOLD produces 13 litres Applying VCOLD Rapid Set Repair Mortar: VCOLD should only be installed by those experienced in structural waterproofing. Please follow manufacturerâ??s instructions for full details across the range of applications. Preparation â?? Start by mechanically removing all damaged concrete back to a sound core. Ideally you want to expose the steel reinforcement to at least 25mm behind the bars and 50mm beyond the point at which corrosion is visible. The perimeter of the repair area should be stepped to a depth of 10m using a saw, disc cutting or preferably a power chisel. Make sure that all areas to be repaired are free from dust, oil, grease, corrosion by-products and all organic growth. Any smooth surfaces should be roughened with any surface laitance removed. You should now thoroughly soak the prepared surface with clean water until uniformly saturated. Ensure there is no standing water. Mixing: Mechanically mix VCOLD using a forced action pan mixer or in barrel using a drill and paddle. Normal applications = typically use 3,7 litres of clean water per 25kgs barrel Normal applications = typically use 0.7 litres of clean water per 5kgs barrel Note: - In cold temperatures, tepid water may be used to adjust working life - In 25-40 temperatures, cold water should be used to adjust working life Important Note: The product cannot be mixed using a normal concrete mixer. Pot life is about 10 minutes, depending on the temperature and humidity. For screeding applications or deep repairs consult technical sheets.
