	For concrete repairs - Spalled concrete of floors, columns, beams, chhajas, slabs, parapets, etc.
	For waterproofing – Small roof terraces, sunken portions of toilets & bathrooms, chhajas & lift pits, balconies & staircases.
	For waterproofing – Liquid & effluent tanks, car decks & walkways.
	As a bonding agent – Bonding mortar for tiles & panels, as undercoat for special finishes such as top renderingcoat for chemical resistant floors.
	As a bond coat – For bonding of new concrete to old concrete, masonry stone work, plastering.
	For cladding – Fixing or re-fixing of slip bricks, tiles, stones & marble bedding.
	As external rendering – Weatherproof & frost resistant render, high wear & erosion resistant render. As bonding slurry coat for pinhole treatment on concrete surface & as repair mortar for overhead application.

3) Features & Benefits

	Cracking – It prevents cracking by improving flexural strength.
	Hardness – Improves the hardness & prevents dust generation.
	Shrinkage – Reduces drying & aging shrinkage cracks.
	Bonding – Bond strongly to concrete, masonry, stonework, plasters, cementitious surfaces, asphalt & most of the building materials.
	Erosion & corrosion – Improves erosion resistance & prevents corrosion.
	Abrasion resistance – Improves abrasion resistance of the cement mix
	Grouting – Reduces viscosity of cement injection grout for better fluidity & bonding.

4) Method of Application

	SURFACE PREPARATION - Clean the surface with wire brush or scrubber to remove hidden dirt, loose particles, laitance & dust. Degrease the surface by using suitable solvents. - Repair the spalled concrete portion by saw, cutting the extreme edges of the repair location to a depth of at lease 10 mm to avoid featheredging & to provide strong bond. - Clean the concrete surface to remove any contamination where breaking is not possible. Roughen the surface by light scabbling or grit blasting. - Expose corroded rebar in the repairing area fully. Remove all loose scales & corrosion deposits and immediately clean the surface.
	PRIMING - For priming of steel surface, apply Dr. Fixit Rust Remover to all exposed reinforcement area and wash it with water jet before applying Dr. Fixit Epoxy Zinc Rich Primer on the rebars. - For priming of concrete substrate, the surface should be thoroughly saturated with potable water. Remove any excess of water prior to application. Slurry of primer coat is prepared by mixing of one part Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP, one part of water and 3 parts of fresh OPC cement. Slowly mix cement with binder to obtain a smooth consistency. Continue mixing the slurry during application to prevent settlement.
	MIXING - A forced action mixer is essential (PANAN Mixer) & recommended to ensure that Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP mortar is thoroughly mixed or Use a suitable sized drum with heavy-duty electrical drill machine fitted with spiral paddle mixer at slow speed of 400-500 rpm. - Hand mixing is permissible only for 25 kg or less quantity. - Charge the mixer with required quantity of clean & dry sand, cement & mix for 1-2 minutes, then add Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP as per the dosages recommended. Mix for 2-3 minutes to avoid air entrapment. Keep on slowly adding water until the required consistency is achieved. Do not add extra water.
