About ICRI Guidelines
The International Concrete Repairinstitute (ICR9
was founded to improve the durability of concrete
repair and enhance its value forstructure owners.
The identification, development, andpromotion of
the most promising methods and materials are
primary vehicles for accelerating advances in
repair technology. Working through a variety of
forums, ICRI members have the opportunity to
address these issues and to directly contribute to
improving the practice ofconcrete repair.
A principal component of this effort is to make
carefullyselected information on important repair
subjects readily accessible to decision makers.
During the past several decades, much has been
reported in the literature on concrete repair
methods andmaterials as they have been developed
and refined Nevertheless, it has been difficult to
find critically reviewed information on the state of
the art condensed into easy -to -use formats.
To that end, ICRI guidelines are prepared by
sanctioned task groups and approved by the ICRI
Technical Activities Committee. Each guideline is
designed to address a specific area of practice
recognized as essential to the achievement of
durable repairs. AIIICRIguideline documents are
subject io continual review by the membership and
may be revised as approved by the Technical
Activities Committee.

GUIDE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION FOR THE REPAIR OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE RESULTING FROM REINFORCING STEEL CORROSION 310.1 R-2008
1.0 Introduction
This guideline provides owners, design profes-
sionals, contractors, and other interested parties
with a recommended practice for the removal of
deteriorated concrete caused by the corrosion of
reinforcing steel, including the preparation of the
removal cavity to provide a clean sound surface
to bond a repair material.
This guideline outlines removal geometry,
configuration, removal process, edge preparation,
reinforcement repair, surface preparation, and
inspection prior to placing a repair material. An
engineer should evaluate the impact of concrete
removal on structural capacity priorto performing
concrete removal and repair. The repair methods
involve saw cutting and concrete removal using
impact tools, hydrodemolition, and other removal
techniques. Special caution should be taken to
locate and avoid cutting or damaging embedded
reinforcing bars, prestressing strands, post -
tensioning tendons, or electrical conduits. Cutting
into these items can be life threatening and may
significantly affect structural integrity.
This guideline also contains a discussion of
concrete removal and preparation for the repair
of columns where the concrete is in compression.
Special consideration must be given to the repair
of concrete in compression as the load -carrying
capacity of the element may be permanently
compromised during the concrete removal and
preparation process.
While the procedures outlined herein have
been used to successfully remove concrete and
prepare the removal cavity on many projects, the
requirements for each project will vary due to
many different factors. Each project should be
evaluated individuallyto ascertainthe applicability
of the procedures described herein. Refer to ACI
506R-05, "Guide to Shotcrete" for surface prepar-
ation prior to shotcrete application.
2.0 Definitions
Anodic ring effect: Corrosion process in which
the steel reinforcement in the concrete surrounding
a repaired area begins to corrode preferentially
to the steel reinforcement in the newly repaired
area (sometimes referred to as the halo effect).
Bruised surface (micro -fracturing): A surface
layer weakened by interconnected microcracks
in concrete substrates caused by the use of high -
impact, mechanical methods for concrete
removal, and surface preparation; fractured layer

typically extends to a depth of 0.13 to 0.38 in.
(3 to 10 mm) and, if not removed, frequently
results in lower bond strengths as compared with
surfaces prepared with nonimpact methods.
Carbonation: The conversion of calcium ions
in hardened cementitious materials to calcium
carbonate by reaction with atmospheric carbon
dioxide. Carbonation reduces the pH of the
concrete and its ability to protect reinforcing steel
and embedded metal items from corrosion.
Chloride contamination: Contamination of
concrete with chloride ions commonly used in
deicing salts and accelerating admixtures such as
calcium chloride and sodium chloride. Chloride
contamination above the threshold for corrosion
can result in corrosion of the reinforcing steel.
Chloride threshold: The amount of chloride
required to initiate steel corrosion in reinforced
concrete under a given set of exposure conditions;
commonly expressed in percent of chloride ion
by mass of cement.
Corrosion: Degradation of concrete or steel
reinforcement caused by electrochemical or
chemical attack.
Microcrack: A crack too small to be seen with
the unaided eye.
Tensile pulloff test: A test to determine the
unit stress, applied in direct tension, required to
separate a hardened repair material from the
existing concrete substrate. The test may also be
used to determine the maximum unit stress that
the existing concrete substrate is capable of
resisting under axial tensile loading and the near -
surface tensile strength of a prepared surface
(refer to ICRI Technical Guideline No. 210.3-
2004 [formerly No. 03739] and ASTM C1583).
Substrate: The layer immediately under a
layer of different material to which it is typically
bonded; an existing concrete surface that receives
an overlay, partial -depth repair, protective coating,
or some other maintenance or repair procedure.
3.0 Exposure of
Reinforcing Steel
The practice of completely removing the concrete
(undercutting) from around the corroded
reinforcement, no matter what degree of corrosion
is found, is key to achieving long -tern performance
of surface repairs. In most cases, complete
removal of the concrete from around the
reinforcing steel is the best practice, where
protection of the reinforcing steel within the

INi ERNATIO NAL
ICII�e CONCRETE REPAIR
N S T I T U T e
repair cavity is achieved by providing a uniform
chemical environment around the reinforcing
steel. Ifnoncorroded reinforcing steel is exposed
and the concrete is chloride contaminated,
removal of the concrete around the reinforcing
should occur or other corrosion -reducing means
should be considered. Reinforcing steel partially
embedded in chloride -contaminated concrete is
susceptible to future accelerated corrosion.
If, for structural reasons, the concrete cannot
be completely removed from around the corroded
reinforcing steel or if a corrosion inhibiting
system is notused, the repairmay be compromised
due to continued corrosion. If there is a potential
trade-off between durability and structural
capacity, structural capacity should always take
priority. When reinforcing steel is not fully
exposed through the concrete removal and
preparation process, alternative corrosion inhib-
iting systems should be considered. These
systems may include use of corrosion inhibitors,
sacrificial anodes, or cathodic protection.
4.0 Anodic Ring
(Halo) Effect
The existing concrete surrounding a repair area
in chloride -contaminated or low pH reinforced
concrete is susceptible to accelerated corrosion.
This is due to the electrical potential differential
between the chloride contaminated or low pH
existing concrete and the chloride -free or
high pH repair material. This anodic ring effect
can result in accelerated corrosion of the
surrounding reinforcing steel leading to future
concrete deterioration. To assess existing concrete
conditions beyond the repair area, chloride
content and pH of the concrete at the level of the
reinforcing steel should be determined. Where
the chloride content exceeds the threshold level
for the initiation of corrosion or where the
reinforcing steel is susceptible to corrosion as a
result of carbonation, a corrosion inhibiting
system should be considered to minimize future
corrosion. Othermeasures may also be considered,
such as the application of sealers and coatings, to
slow the corrosion process. In severely chloride -
contaminated or carbonated concrete, the
'complete removal and replacement of the
contaminated concrete at and beyond the repair
area may be necessary to provide a successful
long-term repair.
5.0 Removal
Geometry
Examples of the removal geometry for several
different types of reinforced concrete elements
are shown in Fig. 5.1 through 5.6. Repairs may
be located on horizontal, vertical, and/or overhead
surfaces. The removal in Fig. 5.5 and 5.6 is for
columns where the removal will not affect the
structural capacity of the column. Removal of
concrete within the reinforcing or to expose the
reinforcing (concrete in compression) is a special
condition and is discussed in Section 10.

6.0 Configuration
of Repair Area
Deteriorated and delaminated concrete should be
located and marked prior to starting the removal
process. Delaminated concrete can be located using
sounding or other suitable techniques. The repair
area should extend a minimum of 6 in. (152 min)
beyond the actual delaminated concrete. Note that
during concrete removal, repair areas can grow
in size beyond the areas identified due to incipient
delaminations that are not readily identifiable
by sounding. Repair configurations should be
kept as simple as possible, preferably square or
rectangularwith square comers (Fig. 6.1). This may
result in the removal ofsound concrete. Reentrant
corners should be minimized or avoided, as they
are susceptible to cracking.

Reinforcing Steel
Remove concrete from the marked areas and

impact breakers, hydrodemolition, or another
suitable method. Undercutting will provide
clearance under the reinforcing steel for cleaning
and full bar circumference bonding to the repair
material and the surrounding concrete. Bonding

the repair material to the full circumference ofthe
reinforcing steel will secure the repair structurally.
Provide a minimum of 0.75 in. (19 min) clearance
between exposed reinforcing steel and surrounding
concrete or 0.25 in. (6 min) larger than the coarse
aggregate in the repair material, whichever is
greater. Sound concrete may have to be removed
to provide proper clearance around the reinforcing
steel. If impact breakers are used for partial depth
concrete removal, the breaker should not exceed
30 lb (12 kg). A 15 lb (7 kg) breaker is preferred

Fig. 7.2: Saw cut perimeter

Fig. 7.3: Abrasive blasting to clean

to minimize damage to the substrate, reinforcing
steel, and surrounding concrete.
Concrete removal should extend along the
reinforcing steel until there is no further delam-
ination, cracking, or significant corrosion and the
reinforcing steel is well bonded to the surrounding
concrete. Care should be taken to avoid significant
and sudden changes in the depth of concrete
removal, as the repair material is more susceptible
to cracking at these locations.
If noncorroded reinforcing steel is exposed
during the removal process, care should be taken
to not damage the bond to the surrounding
concrete. If the bond between the reinforcing
steel and concrete is broken, undercutting of
the reinforcing steel is required.
Remove all deteriorated concrete and additional
concrete as required to provide the proper
configuration and/or the minimum required
thickness of repair material as required by the
manufacturer of the repair material and/or the
project specifications.
7.2 Preparation of the
Repair Perimeter
The perimeter of the repair area should be saw
cut 0.75 in. (19 min) deep to provide a vertical
edge (Fig. 7.2) for the repair material. This will
avoid featheredging of the repair material.
Depending on the repair material selected, the
depth of the existing reinforcing and the
manufacturer's recommendations, a saw cut depth
less than 0.75 in. (19 min) deep may be sufficient.
Care should be taken to avoid cutting the existing
reinforcing steel.
7.3 Cleaning of the
Concrete Surface and
Reinforcing Steel
The use of high -impact, mechanical methods to
remove deteriorated concrete will result in a
surface layer weakened by interconnected micro -
cracks in the concrete substrate. The fractured
(bruised) layer can extend to a depth of 0.125 to
0.375 in. (3 to 10 min) into the resultant concrete
substrate and may result in reduced bond strength.
Remove the bruised layer and bond -inhibiting
materials such as dirt, concrete slurry, and loosely
bonded concrete by oil -free abrasive blasting
(Fig. 7.3) or high-pressure water blasting. The
4-310.1R-2008 GUIDE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION FOR THE REPAIR OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE RESULTING FROM REINFORCING STEEL CORROSION
saw -cut edge of the repair area should also be
blasted to roughen the polished vertical surface
caused by the saw -cutting.
All concrete, corrosion products, and scale
should be removed from the reinforcing steel by
oil -free abrasive blasting or high-pressure water
blasting. Verify that the reinforcing steel and
concrete surface are free from dirt, oil, cement
fines (slurry), or any material that may interfere
with the bond of the repair material. Inspect the
repair cavity to verify that all delaminations and
deterioration have been removed. If hydro -
demolition is used, cement fines (slurry) must be
completely removed from the repair surface. A
tightly -bonded light rust build-up on the reinforcing
surface is usually not detrimental to bond. If a
protective coating is applied to the reinforcing
steel, follow the coating manufacturer's recom-
mendations for steel surface preparation.
8.0 Inspection
and Repair of
Reinforcing Steel
Loose reinforcement should be secured in its
original position by tying to secure bars or by
other appropriate methods to prevent movement
during placement of repair material.
If reinforcing steel has lost cross -sectional
area, a structural engineer should be consulted.
Repair reinforcing steel by either replacing the

damaged/deteriorated steel or placing supple-
mental reinforcing steel in the affected section
(Fig. 8.1). Supplemental reinforcing steel may be
lap -spliced or mechanically spliced to existing
reinforcing steel. The supplemental reinforcing
steel should extend (lap length) beyond the
damaged/deteriorated area in accordance with
ACI 318, "Building Code Requirements for
Structural Concrete."
9.0 Final Surface
Inspection
Immediately prior to placing the repair material,
inspect the repair cavity to verify *that all bond -
inhibiting materials (dirt, concrete slurry, loosely
bonded aggregates, or any material that may
interfere with the bond ofthe repair material to the
existing concrete) have been removed. If bond -
inhibiting materials are present, the repair cavity
should be recleaned as previously described.
To verify the adequacy of the prepared
concrete surface and completeness of bond -
inhibiting material removal,a tensile pulloff test
(ICRI Technical Guideline No. 210.3-2004 or
ASTM C1583) should be considered to evaluate
the bond strength capacity and tensile strength of
the existing concrete substrate. This test may also
be performed after the repair is complete. The
pulloffstrength requirement should be established
by the engineer and included as a performance
specification for the repair.

Undercutting of reinforcement is a best piactice
in tensile zones of concrete. In columns, the
primary loading condition is compression. From
a design perspective, the concrete section
containedwithin the reinforcing cage is considered
to carry the compressive loads (Fig. 10.1). The
concrete outside ofthe reinforcement is considered
as protective concrete cover for fire and corrosion
protection of the reinforcement. Removing the
concrete within the column reinforcing steel
(Fig. 10.2) can greatly increase the compressive
stress in the reinforcing steel and the remaining
concrete. Upon concrete removal, compressive
load paths redistribute around the repair
(deteriorated) sections (Fig. 10.3). Depending on
the size of the concrete removal area behind the
column steel, buckling of the column vertical
reinforcing bars can occur. In the majority of
cases, shoring systems will not unload the
compressive stress in the column section.
When new repair material is placed in the
prepared area, the new material cures and most
materials undergo drying shrinkage, which results
in the new material being put into a tensile stress
state. The new material will not carry compressive
loads until the original concrete compresses further,
forcing the repair material into compression. If
further compression is beyond the capacity of the
existing concrete, failure of the column may,
occur. This key concept affects the concrete
preparation process. In normal concrete repair
(other than columns), removal of the concrete
surrounding the corroding reinforcement (also
known as undercutting) is a normal and necessary
process to provide for a long-term durable repair.
To remove concrete around vertical reinforcing
steel in a column (removing concrete inside the
reinforcing bar cage) can cause the remaining
concrete and/or reinforcement in the column to
become overstressed. From a structural point of
view, this condition may not be desirable. If
concrete is to be removed inside the reinforcement
cage, a qualified structural engineer should
determine the impact of the repair on potential
reinforcement buckling and overall structural
capacity of the column. Note that the discussion
in this section is also applicable in concept to
compression zone portions of other structural
members such as beams, slabs, and walls (with
or without compression reinforcement) where
on -going compressive stress exists and where
adequate shoring cannot be installed prior to
repairs to prevent displacements and corresponding
stress redistributions during repairs.

11 X Summary
The repair of deteriorated concrete resulting from
reinforcing steel corrosion is necessary to extend
the service life of the structure. Performing
concrete repairs using industry -best practices will
ensure the success and longevity of the repair.
Understanding the existing conditions and cause
of corrosion will assist the engineer in specifying
the type and extent of the repair required, and the
type of corrosion mitigation systems and/or
preventative measures that should be considered
to protect the structure from future deterioration.

How to Use
Substrate
Concrete, mortar, and masonry products.
Surface Preparation
Concrete: Remove alldeteriorated concrete,dirt,oil,grease, and all bond -inhibiting materials
from surface. Be sure repair area is not less than 1 in. in depth. Preparation work should be
done by high pressure water blast, scabbler, or other appropriate mechanical means to obtain
an exposed aggregate surface with a minimum surface profile of t1/8 in. (CSP-7). Saturate
surface with clean water. 'Substrate should be saturated surface dry (SSD) with no standing
water during application.
Reinforcing Steel: Steel reinforcement should be thoroughly prepared by mechanical cleaning
to remove all traces of rust. Where corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides, the
steel should be high-pressure washed with clean water after mechanical cleaning. For priming of
reinforcing steel use Sika®Armated®110 EpoCem (consult Technical Data Sheet).
Priming
For priminq of reinforcinq steel use Sika®Annals& 110 EpoCem (consult Technical Data Sheet).
Mixing Place 415 of 1 gallon water in mixing container. Add Sikacrete® 211 while continuing to mix.
Add additional water up to 1 gallon total. Mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3 minutes.
Mechanically mix with a low -speed drill (400-600 rpm) and paddle or in appropriate size mortar
mixer or concrete mixer.
Application Form and pour or pump applications: Pre -wet surface to SSD. Ensure good intimate con-
tact with the substrate is achieved. To accomplish this, material should be scrubbed into the
substrate or other suitable means should be employed such as vibration of the material or
pumping under pressure. Vibrate form while pouring or pumping. Pump with a variable pres-
sure pump. Continue pumping until a 3 to 5 psi increase in normal line pressure is evident
then STOP pumping. Form should not deflect. Vent to be capped when steady flow is evident,
and forms stripped when appropriate.
Tooling & finishing As per ACI recommendations for portland cement concrete, curing is required. Moist cure
with wet burlap and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or a water based' compatible curing
compound. Curing compounds adversely affect the adhesion of following layers of mortar,
leveling mortar or protective coatings. Moist curing should commence immediately after fin-
ishing. Protect newly applied material from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.
'Pretesting of wring compound is recommended.
Limitations n Application thickness: Minimum 1 in. (25 mm); Maximum 8 in. (200 mm)
. Minimum ambient and surface temperatures 45°F (7°C) and rising at time of application.
. Using SikaLatex®, Sikal-atex0 R or similar products will result in loss of slump and slump
retention. Field tests for suitability are strongly recommended.

How to Use
Surface Preparation
Surface must be dean and sound. Remove all deteriorated concrete, dirt, oil, grease, and other bondinhlbitinrg materials from
the area to be repaired. Be sure repair area is not less than 114 h deep. Preparation work should be done by appropriate
means. Obtain an exposed aggregate surface with a minimum surface profile oft 118 in. (CSP-6) on dean, sound wrici ete.
To ensure optimum repair results, the effectiveness of decontamination and preparation should be assessed by a pW-ogtedt
Saw cutting of edgmis preferred and a dovetail is recommended. Saturate surface to be repaired with dean water. Substrate
should be salurated surface dry (SSD) prior to application.
Priming
For priming of reinforcing deal use SikaOArmatec° Ito Epocem (wrisult Technical Data Sheet). Concrete Substrate: Prime
the prepared substrate with a scrub wet of SikaQuicO 1DDO pilot to placement tithe mortar. The repair mortar has to be
applied into the wet sob mat before it dries.
Mixing Mechanimly mix in an appropriately sized mortar mixer. Wet down all tools and mixer to be used.
With water. Start with 4.5 pints of water added to the mbmrg vessel. Add 1 bag o1 Sikaquick 1 OW while continuing to mix.
Add up to another 12 pint of water to achieve desired cotrsistency Do not over -water.
With Latex R. Pour 4.5 pints of Sikal-atexe R into the mbdng container. Slowly add powder, mix and adjust as above.
With diluted Latex R: SikaLatez R may be diluted up to 5:1 (water. Sikal-ale)' R) for projects requiring minimal polymer
modification, Pour 4.5 pints of the mixture into the mixing container. Slowlyadd powder, mix and adjust as above. For applira-
tions greater than 1 im in depth, add 318 in. coarse aggregate, The aggregate must be norr-readive (reference ASTM C-1260,
C-227 and C.289), dean, well graded, saturated surface dry, have low absorption and high density, and comply with ASTM

Sika FerroGard° 903
Penetrating, corrosion inhibiting, impregnation
E coating for hardened concrete
Description Sika FerroGard 903 is a corrosion inhibiting impregnation coaling for hardened concrete surfaces. It is
designed to penetrate the surface and then to diffuse in vapor or liquid form to the steel reinforcing bars
embedded in the concrete. Sika FerroGard 903 forms a protective layer on the steel surface which inhibits
corrosion caused by the presence of chlorides as well as by carbonation of concrete. ;
How it Works
r•�, y,
Sika FerroGard 903 is a combination of amino alcohols, and organic and inorganic inhibitors that protects
both the anodic and cathodic parts of the corrosion cell. This dual action effect dramatically delays the initia-
,'` , •
tion of corrosion and greatly reduces the overall corrosion activity.
in form
Sika FerroGard 903 protects the embedded steel by depositing a physical barrier the of a protective
layer on the surface of the steel reinforcement. This barrier inhibits corrosion of the steel.
a Where to use
Sika FerroGard 903 is recommended for all steel -reinforced, prestressed, precast, post tensioned or marine
concrete. Use of SIM FerroGard 903:
■ Steel -reinforced concrete, bridges and highways exposed to corrosive environments (deicing salts, weathering)
■ Building facades and balconies
d da
■ Steel -reinforced concrete in or near a marine environment
■ Parking garages ..

corrosion inhibition that can easily be applied to the surface of existing concrete to extend the service life of
any reinforced concrete structure.
■ Protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by penetrating the surface of even the most dense con-
crete anddiffusing to the steel to inhibit corrosion.

Sika FerroGard 903 is applied by roller, brush or spray on concrete surfaces. When spraying, use a conven-
tional airless spray system or hand -pressure equipment. A minimum of two coats Is always recommend-
ed. Dense substrates may require more coats. Waiting time between coats of Sika FerroGard 903 Is at least
1 hour. Allow a minimum of one day to allow Sika FerroGard 903 to dry and penetrate.
When Sika FerroGard 903 is used prior to the application of a repair mortar, concrete overlay, protective
coating, Sikafloor system or any other application, care must be taken to remove any residue remaining on
the surface from the application of Sika FerroGard 903. Clean the substrate in such a manner (i.e. push the
water in one direction away and off from the surface to be overcoated) to completely remove any residue.
Horizontal surfaces require pressure washing (2,000 psi minimum) to remove the residue. Vertical surfaces
may be rinsed with water or pressure washed. The use of Sika Armatec 110 EpoCem as a bonding agent
prior to the application of repair mortars or concrete overlays is suggested. Drying times depend on envi-
ronmental conditions, absorbency of the substrate and maximum recommended moisture content for the
subsequently applied system.
a Minimum ambient and substrate temperatures 35°F.
. Do not apply when temperature is expected to fail below 35°F within 12 hours.
. If the applied surfaces will be submerged after the application of Sika FerroGard 903, a waterproofing
coating must be applied prior to submersion.
■ Substrate should be as dry as possible prior to the application.
ai Protect glass, wood, brick, galvanized steel, copper and exposed aluminum during the application.
at Maximum chloride content of concrete structures intended to be treated with Sika FerroGard 903 is 61bsJy3
(measured at the level of the reinforcing steel). For levels up to 10 lbs./y3, consult technical service.
Irritant - Skin and eye irritant. Vapors may cause respiratory tract Irritation. Use only with adequate ventila-
tion. Use of safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves is recommended. Remove contaminated cloth-
ing.
In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush immediately with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes; contact physician immediately. For respiratory problems, remove person to
fresh air. Wash clothing before re -use.
In rase of spills or leaks, wear suitable protective equipment, contain spill, collect with absorbent material,
and transfer to a suitable container. Ventilate area. Avoid contact. Dispose of in accordance with current,
applicable local, stale, and federal regulations.

Sikaoard 701 W
Sikagard® 701W
Solvent -free, siloxane emulsion concentrate
Description
Sikagard 701 W is a solvent -free concentrate of silane modified siloxane emulsion. When di-
luted, the liquid forms a water and chloride -ion repellent impregnation specifically formulated
to seal absorbent cementitious surfaces and other masonry substrates.
Where to Use
■When diluted, use Sikagard 701W as a colorless, non -vapor -barrier, water and chloride
ion -repellent impregnation for absorbent materials.
■ Treat concrete bridges, roadways, runways, parapet walls, precast, beams, columns,
curbing, retaining walls, pavers, etc.
■ Treat both new and existing structures.
. Treat masonry brickwork, stucco, etc.
■ Porous architectural curtainwall panels.
. Use on steel-reinfgrced structures to reduce the corrosion and latent damage potential of
chlorides.
Advantages
Sikagard 701 W is both an economical and simple -to -use sealer. Because of its unique
ability to decrease water and chloride intrusion, Sikagard 701 W helps reduce the danger of
rebar corrosion.
Sikagard 701 W'.

How to Use
Surface Preparation Before applying Sikagard 701 W, be sure surface is clean and sound. The best impregna-
tion is achieved on a dry, very absorbent substrate. Remove all grease, curing compounds,
surface treatments, coating, oils, etc.
Preparation Work: Concrete and masonry surfaces, sandblast, high pressure water blast or
use other mechanical means.
Mixing Dilute Sikagard 701 W concentrate with tap water in an appropriately sized mixing container.
Mix with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill with Sika paddle or comparable drum mixer until
uniformly blended. Make sure paddle is completely covered so as not to entrain air. For best
results, Sikagard 701 W should be remixed if unused 24 hours after blending with water.
Application Apply by roller, brush (horizontal surfaces), or spray. Any pooling of water repellent indicates
overdosing on a dense substrate while rapid absorption indicates a porous substrate. Varia-
tions in concentration down to 8:1 for dense substrates or coverage area, and/or multiple
wet -on -wet applications for porous substrates may be utilized to achieve optimal substrate
treatment. Preliminary site test application is recommended to determine effective coverage
and performance. Maximum water repellency is generally realized in 72 hours, but may
take longer depending on surface and atmospheric conditions.
Limitations ■ Adjacent surfaces such as window frames, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, etc., must be
masked before application.
■ Do not apply at a temperature below 40°F.
■ Do not apply when substrate temperature exceeds 120°F.
. Material is not recommended for below -grade waterproofing.
at Do not apply through standing water.
■ Material is not intended to seal visible cracks or crevices from moisture intrusion.
Is Material is not intended for waterproofing under hydrostatic pressure.
■ Performance and penetration depth are dependent upon the surface composition.
Is Do not use on green concrete.
n When overcoating: an on -site adhesion test is essential to determine actual compatibility.
■ Sikagard 701W is not a carbonation barrier.

seer,' u y`al"' to placement of the mortar. The repair mortar has to be applied into the wet scrub coat before it dries.
Mixing Pour Component'A' into mixing container. Add Component'B'while mixing continuously. Mix mechanically with
a low -speed drill (400 - 600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer. Mix to a uniform Consistency, maximum 3
minutes. Manual mixing can be tolerated only for less than a full unit. Thorough mixing and proper proportion-
ing of the two components is necessary.
Application SikaTop® 123 PLUS must be scrubbed into the substrate, filling all pores and voids. Force material against
edge of repair, working toward center. After filling repair, Consolidate, then screed. Material may be applied in
multiple lifts. The thickness of each lift, not to be less than 1/8 inch minimum or more than 1.5 inches maximum.
? re xl j Where multiple lifts are required score top surface of each lift to produce a roughened surface for next lift. Allow
�;. preceding lift to reach final set, 30 minutes minimum, before applying fresh material. Saturate surface of the
ca ;tyr lift vdth clean water. Scrub fresh mortar into preceding lift. Allow mortar or concrete to set to desired stiffness,
then finish with wood or sponge float for a smooth surface.
Tooling & Finishing As per ACI recommendations for pordand cement Concrete, curing is required. Moist cure with wet burlap
and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or a water based', compatible curing Compound. Curing compounds
adversely affect the adhesion of following lifts of mortar, leveling mortar or protective coatings. Moist curing
should commence immediately after finishing. If necessary protect newly applied material from direct sunlight,
wind, rain and frost.m *Pretesting of curing copmm ountl Is recoended.
