Phoscrete Product Information
Phoscrete is a unique and proprietary MALP Concrete Repair Material.
Phoscrete Concretes chemically bond both to itself and to existing substrates. During the exothermic reaction between the dry aggregate (technical grade magnesium-alumina) and the MALP liquid activator (Mono Aluminum Liquid Phosphate), ionic-bonding occurs to form alkali earth metal-oxide phosphates. This high-strength chemically-bonded compound insures both coherence and adherence and is therefore extremely durable in high stress environments.
Both Cementitious and Polymeric Properties: The Phoscrete Bond is rapid-setting with high-early strengths, but it is not brittle like other cementitious bonded materials. Due to the formation of chain and ring structures that are similar to polymers, after curing the Phoscrete Bond remains flexible. |
|
Rapid Return To Service |
Phoscrete is a rapid curing, high-early-strength material. Within one hour following placement, Phoscrete attains high compressive strengths, allowing the surface to be opened to heavy duty rubber tired traffic. |
|
Permanent Partial Depth Repairs |
Because Phoscrete chemically bonds to existing poured concrete, partial depth repairs achieve faster results using less labor, material, and waste than full slab replacement. |
|
Zero Shrinkage Cracking |
Unlike other concrete repair products that don't last long in harsh environments, the Phoscrete Binder System responds to occurring strains by tensile deformation and does not crack; as demonstrated by the ASTM C1581 Ring Test. |
|
Resists Freeze/Thaw Cycling |
Phoscrete repairs are highly resistant to freeze/thaw cycling and drastic weather changes as indicated by its very low porosity combined with its chemical bond. |
|
Chemical Resistant |
Phoscrete is resistant to alkaline materials, including heavy concentrations of salt water as demonstrated by it’s excellent Chloride Ion Penetration test results. |
|
Heat Resistant |
Phoscrete formulations are available that resist continuous operating temperatures above 2500ºF. |
|
Stops Rust |
Phoscrete dissolves rust. On contact, it converts iron oxides to metal phosphates, eliminating existing rust from reinforcing steel, and inhibiting further corrosion. |
|
Easy and Accurate Mixing |
Phoscrete a pre-measured, two component (bag and jug) system that insures accurate and consistent mixing from batch to batch. |
|
Self-Consolidating |
Phoscrete reduces the labor required for leveling and finishing. Phoscrete forms a smooth and flush surface that blends with the existing concrete surface. |
|
Green Product |
Phoscrete meets the criteria to be classified as a Green Product and participates in the Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative. |
|
Controlled Setting |
Phoscrete cures once the exothermic reaction is complete. Specific formulations are available with specific setting and curing cycles. |
|
All Season Use |
Phoscrete can be installed in temperatures ranging from -5°F to 105°F. |
