Emaco® NanoCrete R3  

Emaco® NanoCrete R3  is a single component, lightweight, polymer modified, high build structural repair mortar. Emaco® NanoCrete R3  is a ready-to-use material that
contains sulphate resistant Portland cement (HSR LA), hydraulic binders, well graded sands, specially selected polymer fibres (polyacrylonitril) and additives. Applied nanotechnology has been used to significantly reduce shrinkage. Emaco® NanoCrete R3  has been specifically formulated to produce a mortar with the compressive strength and modulus characteristics defined in class R3 of EN 1504 part 3. When mixed with water, it forms a highly thixotropic mortar that can easily be hand, trowel or spray applied in thicknesses up to 75 mm in one layer. It is particularly
suited to vertical and overhead work where hand-profiling is required.

Features and Benefits

• Formulated with new nanotechnology and shrinkage compensation systems to minimise crack tendency.
• Medium strengths (lower than Emaco® NanoCrete R4) and lower modulus of elasticity allow the repair of medium strength concrete without problems of differential movement.
• Excellent adhesion to concrete.
• Highly thixotropic and lightweight allows high build in a single layer.
• Outstanding workability - Emaco® NanoCrete R3 can be applied up to 75 mm in horizontal or vertical applications, or even 50 mm overhead.
• Easy to create profiles and corners without formwork.
• Very low shrinkage and excellent crack resistance.
• Durable and weather resistant.
• Good water and chloride impermeability. 
• Low chromate (Cr[VI] < 2 ppm ).
• Chloride-free.
