Concrete Spalling Repair Methods – Drizoro Maxrest 

Surface Preparation: 

Prepare your Drizoro Maxrest concrete spalling repairs surface so that it should be clean and free of dirt, grease and loose particles. Remove all damaged and unsound concrete to expose a structurally sound substrate. Expose all reinforcement affected by rust.

Remove concrete all around the bars for efficient cleaning and to surround it with a minimum thickness of at least 1 cm of Drizoro Maxrest.

Eliminate rust by wire brush, needle gun, sand or shot blasting, etc. Apply a slurry coat of Drizoro Maxrest or oxide converter Maxrest Passive (Technical Bulletin nº 12). After cleaning, wash the concrete with water. Before applying Drizoro Maxrest, wet the surface but do not leave free-standing water.

Mixing:

A 25 kg bag of Drizoro Maxrest is mixed with between 3,5 to 4,0 litres of clean water, depending on the ambient conditions and the consistency required, either manually or mechanically by a low speed drill (400 – 600 r.p.m). Drizoro Maxrest takes fifteen to twenty minutes to set, depending on the temperature.  Only mix the amount of Maxrest that you can apply within eight to ten minutes.

Application:

For an optimum bond, prepare a slurry mixing 5 parts of Maxrest with 1 part of water, mixing well until achieving a homogeneous consistency without any lumps. Apply the slurry using a Maxbrush type brush onto the concrete spalling repairs surface to be repaired and on the reinforcement bars, filling all voids and pores, allowing 5 to 8 minutes before continuing the repair.

While the slurry is still fresh, start placing Drizoro Maxrest with its consistency of repair mortar. Apply in successive layers between 2,5 and 3 cm, scratching the surface with the trowel to make the next layer adheres firmly. Between layers, wait 10 to 15 minutes depending on temperature. If the different layers become warm, wet the surface with cold water.

Application Conditions:

Do not apply Maxrest at temperatures below 5 ºC.

• lower temperatures are expected. Within the following 24 hours after application. Do not apply onto frozen or frosted surfaces.

Curing:- For better curing, once the REPAIR is complete, cover with a wet cloth to protect from high temperature or direct hot sun.

Cleaning:

Clean all tools and equipment immediately with water after use. Once Drizoro Maxrest hardens it can only be removed by mechanical methods.

Consumption: 

Estimated consumption of Maxrest is approximately 1,67 kg/m2 per 1 mm thickness. One kilogram of Drizoro Maxrest will fill approximately 0,6 litres.

Packaging: Drizoro Maxrest is supplied in 25 kilogram drums and 5 kilogram cans.

Storage: Eighteen months in bags, 36 months in drums and cans, in their unopened original packaging, in a dry and covered place protected from damp and frost, with temperatures above 5 ºC.

Important Cautions DO NOT: 

• never use leftover mixed material to prepare a new batch.
• add sand, aggregates or cement to increase volume.
• use high speed mixers • Do not mix for prolonged periods. Scratch the surface Finish the edge Final finish
• apply on painted or structurally weak surfaces.
• apply in layers exceeding 3 cm thickness.
• allow the layers to heat up; Mist spray with water if required.
• Setting time is measured at 20 ºC. Higher temperatures reduce the setting time and lower temperatures delay the setting time.
• With low temperatures keep the product in a warm place and use lukewarm water to accelerate the setting time.
• With hot temperatures keep the product in a cool place and use fresh clean water for the mix. Wet the different layers. Mix small batches of material and apply immediately.

Safety And Health: 

Drizoro Maxrest is non-toxic but like all cementitious products, it is an abrasive compound. Use rubber gloves and safety goggles to mix and apply the mortar mix. In case of skin contact, wash affected areas with soap and water.

In case of eye contact, rinse with clean water but do not rub. If irritation continues, seek medical attention. Safety Data Sheet of Drizoro Maxrest is available by request. Dispose of empty packaging and any leftover product according to national regulations by the final user.
