Surface Tension A measurement of the ability of a liquid to overcome its own internal friction and penetrate into a material like concrete.

Surface Tension Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender has a surface tension three times less than water.

Surface Tension Fluid Surface Tension (N/m) Water at 20°C Ethanol Benzene Glycerin Mender Part A0.026 Mender Part B0.026 Mender sec after mixing0.026

Viscosity of Concrete Mender (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)

Viscosity of Concrete Mender (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)

Why it Works Superior Bond Strength Ease of Application Shrinkage Modulus of Elasticity

Superior Bond Strength Mechanical Interlock with Microstructure of the Substrate –Measured with Scanning Electron Microscope Concrete Beam Fractured Realigned with 1/8 Gap Mender Applied Specimen Was Sawed to Isolate Small Samples

Superior Bond Strength

Why it Works Superior Bond Strength Ease of Application Shrinkage Modulus of Elasticity

Ease of Application Viscosity –Related to The Ease of Which Individual Molecules of the Liquid Can Move With Respect to Each Other –Measured As a Function of Time Brookfield Viscometer

Ease of Application (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)

Ease of Application Concrete Mender Easily Wetted the Surface of Concrete –Mender Is Drawn Into the Concrete Pore Structure by Capillary Tension –Significant Penetration Occurs Within Minutes of Contact.

Why it Works Superior Bond Strength Ease of Application Shrinkage Modulus of Elasticity

Shrinkage International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) –Guideline No Shrinkage of 0.05% Is Considered Low

Shrinkage 0.10% Between 1 Hour and 7 Days 0.05% Between 2 Hours and 7 Days Test Was Completed Without Sand Adding Sand Will Proportionately Reduce Overall Shrinkage

Concrete Mender: Summary High Quality Bond Achieved Low Viscosity Low Surface Tension Shrinkage Is Low

Concrete Mender: Conclusion Repairing Cracks With Concrete Mender Largely Restores the Structural Performance of the Original Concrete

Repairs - Parking Decks Cracks in parking structures and bridge decks can be repaired without destructive cutting and grinding. Only a light scoring with a diamond blade grinder is used to clean out the crack. A wire wheel grinder will work too.

Repairs - Parking Decks Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender is flooded deep into the crack and self-injects into the concrete like water into a sponge.

Repairs - Parking Decks Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender is flooded deep into the crack and self-injects into the concrete like water into a sponge. Silica sand is added to the surface and excess material is wiped away with a trowel or even a piece of cardboard. The brushed finish is retained. The repair is fully traffic ready in 10 minutes.
