About Sika Rep Microcrete 4 Microconcrete, For Industrial
91 000 74051 SikaRep Microcrete-4 is a factory-blended, high-performance, non-shrink, cementitious micro-concrete mix. Designed for deep structural repairs in concrete, it flows easily into restricted forms, compensates for shrinkage, develops rapid strength, and bonds well with old concrete. Ideal for repairing damaged beams, slabs, columns, tunnels, basements, and large gapes.
Key Features & Benefits
Pourable / pumpable consistency; flows easily without the need for vibration. Dual-stage expansion to compensate for plastic shrinkage and settlement.
Rapid strength gain: strong early (1-day, 3-day) strengths enabling quicker reinstatement. High ultimate strength with good impact, vibration, chemical resistance; non-corrosive, non-toxic. Contains no added chloride, so safer for reinforced concrete.
Adjustable consistency by controlling water: you can adjust flow / workability while maintaining properties.
Q1. What is the price per 30 kg bag?Typical posted rates are around 000 per 30 kg bag, depending on Please visit CIVILIZEMARTQ2. How much area / volume will 1 bag cover?Consumption is approximately 1,900 kg of powder per cubic meter of concrete (with water : powder = 0.15). So 30 kg covers ~0.0158 m ~ about 15-16 liters volume roughly. Exact depends on depth / thickness. Q3. Can it be pumped?Yes the product is designed to be pourable/pumpable into restricted formwork without vibration. Q4. Is it safe for reinforced concrete / steel?Yes it is non-corrosive, contains no added chloride. Q5. What is shelf life & storage?Shelf life is ~6 months from date of production if stored in unopened bags, in dry conditions, at temperature between +5-35 C. Q6. Can the mix be adjusted for more flow?Yes by using water-powder ratio within the recommended range (0.14 to 0.16) for higher flow, but avoid adding more water than specified as that can degrade strengths & increase shrinkage.
