APPLICATION REPORT

Industry: Steel

Description of Equipment: High traffic floor in front of electric arc furnaces

Problem: Existing concrete was severely damaged due to forklift traffic and heavy loads placed on floor. Large holes in the floor caused major safety concerns for both forklift and foot traffic. High temperature mortar used to repair surface lasted only three weeks. Customer was looking for a longer lasting solution. Repairs had to be made with limited interference of operations.

Solution: Phoscrete 602-L was recommended because of its rapid setting, high strengths, and most importantly, Phoscrete's ability to bond to existing concrete.
