  • Reduced rebound and material loss during application
5. Why is WHITE SAND REP SR 150 sulphate resistant?

WHITE SAND REP SR 150 is manufactured with Type V sulphate-resistant cement, making it suitable for repairing concrete exposed to sulphate ions and aggressive environments where ordinary repair mortars may deteriorate.

6. Can WHITE SAND REP SR 150 be applied on vertical surfaces?

Yes. WHITE SAND REP SR 150 can be applied up to 20 mm thick in a single application on vertical concrete surfaces.

7. Can WHITE SAND REP SR 150 be used for horizontal repairs?

Yes. It can be applied up to 50 mm thick in a single layer for horizontal concrete repairs and patch repairs.

8. What is the compressive strength of WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

Typical compressive strength values are:

  • 40 MPa after 7 days
  • 50 MPa after 28 days
    according to ASTM C109.
9. What is the tensile strength of WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

WHITE SAND REP SR 150 achieves a tensile strength of 3.5 MPa or greater after 28 days according to ASTM C307.

10. What is the flexural strength of WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

The repair mortar provides a flexural strength of 5 MPa or greater after 28 days according to ASTM C348.

11. What is the recommended mixing ratio?

Mix approximately 3.8 liters of clean water with one 20 kg bag of WHITE SAND REP SR 150 to achieve the proper consistency.

12. How should the substrate be prepared before application?

Before application:

  • Remove all weak or damaged concrete.
  • Cut back to sound concrete to a minimum depth of 10 mm.
  • Remove dust, grease, oil, rust, and contaminants.
  • Saturate absorbent surfaces with clean water.
  • Grit blast corroded reinforcing steel.
  • Replace severely corroded reinforcement if required.
  • Saw-cut repair edges.
  • Thoroughly clean the repair area using a brush or compressed air.
13. Is priming required before applying WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

Yes. Reinforcing steel should first be treated with a corrosion inhibitor. The prepared concrete substrate should then be primed using WHITE SAND PRIME RC acrylic primer and bonding agent. Apply the repair mortar while the primer remains tacky.

14. How do you mix WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

Slowly add the powder into the measured clean water while mixing with a grout mixer or slow-speed drill fitted with a high-shear paddle. Mix continuously for at least 3 minutes until a smooth, homogeneous mortar is obtained. Do not prepare partial mixes.

15. How is WHITE SAND REP SR 150 applied?

Apply the repair mortar by hand or using a steel trowel. Firmly press the mortar into the substrate to ensure complete compaction and excellent adhesion. Finish the surface initially with a wooden or plastic float, then complete the final finish using a steel float.

16. How should thick repairs be applied?

For thicker vertical applications, gradually build up the repair mortar in firmly pressed layers to ensure excellent adhesion between the substrate and each successive layer.

17. How should WHITE SAND REP SR 150 be cured?

After application, cure the mortar by continuous water curing and covering it with polyethylene sheets, or use the WHITE SAND Cure curing compound to reduce moisture evaporation and improve strength development.

18. How should tools be cleaned after application?

Clean all tools and equipment immediately with clean water before the mortar hardens. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

19. What packaging is WHITE SAND REP SR 150 available in?

WHITE SAND REP SR 150 is supplied in 20 kg bags.

20. What is the shelf life of WHITE SAND REP SR 150?

The product has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in unopened original packaging in a dry, shaded environment below 35°C.

21. Is WHITE SAND REP SR 150 safe to use?

Yes. Wear suitable protective gloves and safety goggles during handling and application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash exposed skin with soap and water, rinse eyes immediately with clean water if contact occurs, and seek medical advice if irritation persists. The product is non-flammable and is not classified as hazardous under current legislation.

22. Can WHITE SAND REP SR 150 be used in aggressive sulphate environments?

Yes. Because it is formulated with Type V sulphate-resistant cement, WHITE SAND REP SR 150 is specifically developed for repairing concrete exposed to sulphate-bearing soils, groundwater, wastewater, marine environments, and industrial conditions.

23. Does WHITE SAND REP SR 150 provide durable long-term repairs?

Yes. Its high strength, excellent adhesion, dimensional stability, sulphate resistance, and durable cementitious formulation provide reliable long-term structural concrete repairs.

24. Why choose WHITE SAND REP SR 150 over conventional repair mortars?

WHITE SAND REP SR 150 offers superior sulphate resistance, high compressive strength, excellent adhesion, compensated shrinkage, dimensional stability, durable structural performance, and easy application, making it an excellent choice for repairing concrete structures in aggressive environments where long-term durability is essential.
