  • Cut back to sound concrete (minimum 10 mm depth).
  • Remove dust, oil, grease, rust, and contaminants.
  • تشبيع الأسطح الماصة بالماء النظيف.
  • Grit blast corroded reinforcing steel.
  • Replace severely corroded reinforcement if required.
  • قص حواف منطقة الإصلاح بمنشار للحصول على حواف منتظمة.
  • Clean thoroughly using a brush or compressed air.
13. Is priming required before applying WHITE SAND REP FR 400?

Yes. Reinforcing steel should be treated with a corrosion inhibitor, and the concrete substrate should 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 FR 400?

Mix approximately 4 liters of clean water per 20 kg bag. Slowly add the powder while mixing with a grout mixer or slow-speed drill fitted with a high-shear paddle. Mix for at least 3 minutes until smooth and homogeneous. Do not prepare partial mixes.

15. How is WHITE SAND REP FR 400 applied?

Apply the mortar by hand or steel trowel while pressing it firmly against the substrate and reinforcing steel to ensure complete compaction and adhesion. Finish with a wooden or plastic float before completing the final finish using a steel float.

16. How should thick repairs be applied?

For thick vertical and overhead repairs, apply the mortar gradually in firmly pressed layers or patches to achieve optimum adhesion between the substrate and subsequent layers.

17. How should WHITE SAND REP FR 400 be cured?

After application, cure the repair mortar by continuous water curing and covering it with polyethylene sheets, or use the WHITE SAND Cure curing compound to minimize moisture loss.

18. Can WHITE SAND REP FR 400 help protect reinforcing steel?

Yes. Its extremely low permeability helps protect embedded reinforcing steel from corrosion by reducing the penetration of water and contaminants.

19. What packaging is WHITE SAND REP FR 400 supplied in?

WHITE SAND REP FR 400 is supplied in أكياس 20 كجم.

20. What is the shelf life of WHITE SAND REP FR 400?
