King® HC-D1

ENHANCED SHRINKAGE CRACKING RESISTANCE SHOTCRETE MATERIAL FOR DRY-MIX PROCESS APPLICATIONS

King® HC-D1 is a pre-packaged and pre-blended shotcrete material formulated for dry-mix applications, equiped with crack-resistant technology. It contains Portland cement along with other carefully selected components. It offers enhanced shooting characterisitics and physical properties, highly crack-resistant repair material, along with compatibility with existing concrete substrates that allows for durable repairs.

  • Low cracking potential (according to AASHTO T334)
  • Very low shrinkage
  • Physical properties similar to conventional concrete, thus offering excellent compatibility with existing concrete
  • Air-entrainment providing superior resistance to freeze-thaw cycling and salt-scaling resistance
  • Improved adhesive and cohesive plastic properties
  • Significantly reduced rebound, resulting in lower material usage
  • Very low permeability
  • Designed with natural, normal-density, non-reactive, fine and coarse aggregates to eliminate potential alkali-aggregate reactivity (AAR)

SURFACE PREPARATION

  • Repair or Rehibilation: All surfaces to be in contact with King® HC-D1 must be free from dust, oil, grease or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material. Remove all loose or delaminated concrete providing a roughened surface and a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm) clearance behind any corroded reinforcing steel. The perimeter of the repair area should be saw-cut a minimum of ¾ inch (20 mm). Clean the area to be repaired with potable water, leaving the concrete saturated but free of standing water (SSD).
  • Rock surfaces: All surfaces to be in contact with product must be free from dust, oil, grease or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material. Remove all loose or delaminated rock. Clean the area with potable water, leaving the substrate saturated but free of standing water (SSD).

APPLICATION

Apply King® HC-D1 in accordance with the ACI 506 “Guide to Shotcrete” publication.

  

Performance of in-place shotcrete relies heavily upon application techniques. The shotcrete material, equipment and key personnel should be pre-qualified prior to project start-up to ensure optimum quality of in-place shotcrete.

  

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

  

  • King® HC-D1 should not be applied when ambient substrate and material temperatures are below 40 °F (5 °C) or above 95 °F (35 °C).
  • For adverse temperatures, follow ACI recommendations for Cold / Hot Weather Concreting.

  

Contact your Sika STM Technical Representative for more information.

 

CURING TREATMENT

Curing is essential to optimize physical properties of the shotcrete and minimize shrinkage. King® HC-D1 should be cured immediately after
material has reached initial set in accordance with ACI 308 “Guide to Curing Concrete”. For optimum results, begin by continuously moist curing for a minimum period of three (3) days. Following the 3 day moist curing period, apply two (2) coats of a curing compond (ASTM C309 compliant). When the area of the repair area does not exceed 9 ft2 (1 m2), it is possible to directly apply two (2) coats of curing compound (ASTM C309 compliant). Curing is particularly critical in rapid moisture loss conditions such as high temperatures, high winds and low humidity.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Remove King® HC-D1 from tools and equipment with water. Cured product can only be removed mechanically.
