Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre is the ultimate floor repair mortar. The addition of carbon fibre makes this the strongest, longest lasting floor repair mortar that you can buy.

The unique formulation also includes a rapid setting curing agent for even faster repairs, and Novolac resin for superior chemical resistance - cement based repair mortars have no resistance to acidity.

Abrasion resistance is greatly enhanced by the addition of a ceramic additive.

Compared with other repair mortars this formulation is particularly rich in epoxy resin. This provides superior strength and adhesion, making it ideal for very thin section, feather-edge or intricate repairs.

The new rapid cure formulation keeps downtime to a minimum in busy areas, with light traffic possible in as little as an hour.

Use in heavy wear areas where other repair mortars would fail - make your floor repairs permanent with Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be clean, dry and free of all loose material. Wire brushing or sweeping is generally sufficient. Watco Bio-D degreaser can be used to remove grease and oil. If the surface is damp, it can be primed with Watco Tack Coat.

Priming

The resin content of Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre is very high. This means that a primer is not usually required when filling holes in concrete floors or resurfacing rough or damaged concrete. Watco Tack Coat adhesive primer is recommended when using Concrex Carbon Fibre as a thin section screed over smooth surfaces. It is also recommended when repairing intricate/high impact areas such as broken floor joint edges, and damaged step nosings.

Mixing

Wear protective gloves.

The resin and the sand are already pre-blended and is supplied with bottles of curing agent, 4 x 100ml in the 10kg pack and 2 x 500ml in the 25kg pack.

The curing agent is added to the sand/resin at point of use, and once mixed the mortar should be used within 15 - 30 minutes depending upon temperature.

If the entire pack of Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre cannot be used within 30 minutes, it can be part mixed. To split a pack carefully halve the sand/resin (ideally measured by weight), and use half the number of curing agent bottles. Do not mix inside the plastic bucket. Tip the sand/resin into a mixing tray or on a board.

Shake the bottles of curing agent thoroughly until the liquid is a uniform grey.

Form the sand/resin into a mound and leave a small hole in the middle. Empty the curing agent into the hole, ensuring the bottles are completely drained.

Carefully mix the aggregate with the curing agent using a trowel until a smooth mortar is obtained, this will take several minutes. The more thorough the mixing, the ‘wetter’, smoother and more manageable the mix becomes. Alternatively, you can knead the mixture by hand wearing suitable gloves. It is important to mix thoroughly until you achieve a consistent colour.

A ‘Cretangle’ or suitable open pan mixer can be used to mix large quantities.

Application

Trowel the mortar firmly into the repair and finish with a trowel or float. To get a good smooth finish, regularly wipe the surface of the trowel with a cloth dampened with white spirit.

Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre is normally applied at 5mm - 50mm thick, but repairs can be feather-edged if most of the repair is at least 5mm thick.

For repairs deeper than 50mm, apply in separate layers allowing 6 - 8 hours between layers, or use Concrex Deep Fill which can be applied at 15mm - 100mm thick in one layer.

Limitations

Do not apply to wet surfaces.

Watco Tack Coat should be used for application to damp surfaces before applying Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre.

Do not apply thicker than 50mm in one layer – see Application section above.

Watco Concrex Carbon Fibre should not be subjected to temperatures above 60°C.
