Approx. 1,950 kg powder is needed to prepare 1 m³ of fresh mortar. 25 kg bag will yield approximately 12.9 litres of mortar.

Concrete must be fully cured, clean and sound to ensure good adhesion. All loose traces of concrete or mortar, dust, grease oil, etc. must be removed. Damaged or contaminated concrete should be removed to obtain a keyed surface. Non-impact/vibrating cleaning methods, e.g. shot blasting, sandblasting or high-pressure water jetting are recommended. Aggregate should be clearly visible on the surface of the concrete structure after surface preparation.

Cut the edges of the repair vertically to a minimum depth of 10 mm.

If reinforcing steel is visible, clean to a minimum grade of Sa 2 according to ISO 8501-1 / ISO 12944-4. Ensure back of rebar is also clean.

Heavily damaged reinforcement, or when rebar sections have decreased below the safety level, need to be replaced for structural reasons. Ensure a 2 cm rebar cover when installing additional reinforcement.

Although SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX can be applied at ambient temperatures as low as -5°C, the temperature of the substrate should be minimum > 0°C and maximum +30°C. Frozen substrates need to be defrosted just prior to the application of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX. Make sure that any metal parts, e.g. reinforcement and manhole frames are defrosted with a temperature above the freezing point. Try to keep the temperature uniform during application and hardening.

It is strongly recommended that only full bags are mixed. Damaged or opened bags should not be used.

First pour the clean tap water in the mixing container and afterwards, while mixing, add approx. 2/3 of the SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX powder slowly and without interruptions to the water. Continue mixing for at least 1 minute. After 1 minute, add the rest of the powder and mix continuously until a homogeneous mortar is obtained.

Mix SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX with a suitable paddle attached to a powerful, slow speed electric drill (max 400 rpm). The total mixing time is 3 to 4 minutes until a homogenous, plastic consistency is obtained.

Mixing water needed: 3.1 to 3.6 litres per 25 kg bag are required for plastic consistency. Only use clean uncontaminated water.

Note: It is strongly recommended to follow the mixing times before adjusting the consistency by adding extra water! Do not mix more material as can be applied within the pot life of approximately 20 minutes at 20°C. Do not mix SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX with any other material. Only the addition of maximum 30% of clean, well sized gravel is permitted for applications with a thickness over 100 mm.

Concrete substrates and any metal parts coming in contact SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX need to be defrosted.

The prepared substrate should be pre-soaked, preferably for 24 hours, but at least 2 hours before applying SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX. The surface must be mat-damp, but without standing water.

For optimum curing of the product the temperatures during application of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX must be between -5°C and +30°C. Do not apply SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX if the temperature is expected to drop below -5°C during application or within 24 hours.

General Repair

In order to ensure optimum adhesion, a slurry coat of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX is brush applied onto the pre-dampened substrate prior to repair applications. Apply the mixed SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX mortar to the substrate – wet on wet – and spread to the required layer thickness (maximum 100 mm). Compact the mortar using trowel. Go over the surface with a levelling board and rub down with a wooden board. Smooth surface with a finishing trowel if necessary.

Use as bedding mortar

Place SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX onto the pre-dampened substrate and overfill to allow for compaction. Gently lower the manhole frame, curb or pavement stone into the fresh mortar and set to the required level. Make sure to apply enough material onto the individual bedding area before lowering the manhole frame or curb stone. Punctual applications of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX, and under-filling after previous levelling of manhole frames is not allowed.

SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX is basically self-curing. Wet curing is not advised.

When working at sub-zero temperatures, cover SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX with insulation materials or dry cloths until sufficiently hardened, preferably for 24 hours or until SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX is to be opened for traffic.

Tools and mixer must be cleaned immediately after use with water. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
