How to repair concrete cracks? What glue is used?

Jan. 04, 2019


It is very common for a thousand miles to smash in the ant hole. Cracks in the concrete structure are very common. When the crack is wide or develops, and even the durability of the structure is endangered, so it needs to be repaired. So what happens to the concrete interface before the crack is repaired? Today, we will talk to you about how to repair concrete cracks.

In addition to cleaning and trimming of the original structure and components, the interface shall be treated in accordance with the following provisions.

 

1. Polishing the surface of the original components

Along the crack, a bamboo nail or other nail is inserted as a temporary sign in the crack, and the nail pitch is such that the crack can be found after grinding. Then, the surface of the original component in the range of 100 mm on both sides of the crack is smoothed by a sand blasting machine or a grinder until a solid new surface of the aggregate is exposed, and after cleaning without oil stains and dirt, it is cleaned by a compressed air machine or a vacuum cleaner.

 

2. Chiseling

When the design requires the grooving along the crack direction, it shall be scribed, cut, trimmed and cleaned according to the section form (such as V-shaped, U-shaped, etc.) and dimensions specified in the construction drawing. If the design does not define a trough shape, it should be chiseled into a U-shaped groove. If the surface of the original component is not flat, it should be cut along the crack to form a smooth curved surface that is easy to be closed continuously. There must be no local protrusion or height difference.

 

3. Adhesive surface treatment

The bonding surface treatment in the crack cavity shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the product instruction manual or under the guidance of a professional engineer appointed by the product manufacturer.

 

4. Selection of crack repairing glue

Ordinary type crack repairing glue, as it is poorly cured under high humidity conditions, the moisture content of the bonding surface in the crack cavity of the original component must be controlled according to the requirements of the product specification. Otherwise, it will leave hidden dangers to the crack repair project.

The filling glue produced by Nanjing Mankate has passed ISO quality certification, and has several advantages compared with ordinary filling glue:

1. Low viscosity but strong penetration; it can be injected into micro cracks of 0.1mm width.

2. More anti-aging and damp heat resistance; strong acid and alkali resistance.

3. Does not contain volatile chemicals, and does not shrink at all when hardened.
