Concrete

1. The substrate must be structurally sound and fully cured (28 days).
2. Saw cut the perimeter of the area being repaired into a square with a minimum depth of ½" (13 mm).
3. Refer to current ICRI Guideline no. 310.2R for surface prep requirements to permit proper bond.

Reinforcing steel

1. Remove all oxidation and scale from the exposed reinforcing steel in accordance with ICRI Technical Guideline No. 310.1R.
2. For additional protection from future corrosion, coat the prepared reinforcing steel with Sikagard® P 8100 AP.

1. Precondition material to 70 °F ±5° (21 °C ±3°) before mixing.
2. Add 5 1/2 pints (2.6 L) of potable water to the mixing container for each bag of SikaEmaco®-1061. If required, add the correct amount of aggregate to the mixer. Add the powder to the water while continuously mixing with a slow-speed drill and paddle, mortar mixer, or other forced action mixer.
3. Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes until fully homogeneous.

Aggregate extension

1. If desired for economical considerations up to 50 lbs (22.6 kgs) of ⅜” (10 mm) washed, graded, rounded, SSD, low-absorption, high-density aggregate can be added per 50 lbs (22.6 kgs) bag.
2. Aggregate must comply with the requirements of ASTM C 33.

1. After removing all standing water, thoroughly scrub a thin layer of bond coat into the saturated surface with a stiff-bristled broom or brush. Do not dilute the bond coat with water. Do not apply more of this bond coat than can be covered with mortar before the bond coat dries. Do not retemper the bond coat.
2. Immediately place the repair mortar from one side of the prepared area to the other. Work the material firmly into the bottom and sides of the patch to ensure a good bond. Level the SikaEmaco®-1061 and screed it to the elevation of the existing concrete. Apply the appropriate finish.
3. Finish the completed repair, as required, taking care not to overwork the surface.
4. The recommended application range of SikaEmaco®-1061 is from 50 to 85 °F (10 to 29 °C). Follow ACI 305 and 306 for hot or cold weather.
5. A maximum of 25 minutes should be allowed to mix, place, and finish SikaEmaco®-1061 at 70 °F (21 °C).

Cure with an approved curing compound compliant with ASTM C 309 or preferably ASTM C 1315. Alternative curing options include the application of a fine mist of water, wet burlap, or polyethylene sheeting for a minimum of 2 days.

Clean tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Cured material must be removed mechanically.
