Extreme Environments Require a Versatile Repair Mortar

The demonstration will cover the use of MAPEI’s high alkaline corrosion inhibitor, Mapefer 1K and encapsulation of the repair area with Planitop 12 SR.  Planitop 12 SR is a versatile, sulfate resistant, fiber-reinforced, with silica fume and corrosion inhibitor that can be applied by hand, pump, or spray on horizontal and vertical surfaces.  Demonstration will show how to utilize these products in accordance with ACI Repair Application Procedures (RAP) 3, 6, and 7 as well as ICRI Guideline Nos. 310.1R and 310.2R.  Demonstration will showcase a project where Planitop 12 SR was recently used to repair a Wastewater Treatment Tank.

Objectives:

1. Show repair scenario of ACI RAP 3, 6, and 7
2. Educate on use of corrosion inhibitor over properly cleaned steel
3. Educate placement techniques for horizontal and vertical applications
4. Show difference between pumping and spraying mortar
