SikaCem®-133 S Gunite

R4 Dry Sprayed Micro Repair Concrete

SikaCem® -133S Gunite ( formerly SikaCem® -133 Gunite) is a cement based, polymer modified one component repair mortar containing silica fume and high range water-reducing agents, meeting the requirements of Class R4 of BS EN 1504-3. Formulated for machine applications using the dry process without set accelerators, repairs may be profiled and trowel finished where necessary.

  • One component, ready to use micro concrete
  • Non silica aggregates
  • Low rebound losses and dust formation during the spraying process
  • Layer thicknesses in one application overhead up to 150mm are possible without any additional mesh reinforcement
  • Rapid strength gain without set accelerators
  • Very low shrinkage
  • Can be finished to a high standard
  • Overcoatable with Sika reprofiling/levelling mortars and coatings

Application steps

MIXING

SikaCem® -133S Gunite is fed into the dry process spraying machine which should be of suitable size for the repair areas to reduce wastage and rebound. The amount of water added is controlled by the nozzleman at the nozzle and should be sufficient to prevent
slump and dust. Rebound will be increased with unsuitably sized spraying machine, compressor, nozzle type, dry mixture and thin layers.

APPLICATION

Reinforcement Corrosion Protection:
Where a reinforcement coating is required the application of the repair mortar shall be applied when the the reinforcement coating has cured ( Minm finger nail hard). Refer to the System Information above for compatible Sika products and refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet
for more detailed information about the reinforcement corrosion product.

The sprayed repair mortar shall be placed onto the pre-wetted substrate between the nminimum and maximum layer thicknesses without the formation of voids and loose rebound material. Where layers are to be built up to prevent sagging or slumping, each layer should be allowed to stiffen before applying subsequent layers “wet on wet”. When layers cannot be applied “wet on wet”, pre-wet surface and allow to surface dry to a dark matt appearance.

SikaCem® -133S Gunite is finished by leaving ‘as shot’ or striking off with a straight edge and closing the surface with a wooden/plastic float or damp sponge to achieve the desired surface texture.

Reference shall be made to BS EN1504-10:2003 for specific requirements, the Code of Practice for sprayed concrete issued by the Concrete Society and any other guidelines that are specific to the structure.

CURING TREATMENT

It is essential to cure the repair mortar immediately after application for a minimum of 3 days to ensure full cement hydration and to minimise cracking. Use polythene sheeting taped down at the edges or other approved method.
Curing compounds shall not be used when they adversely affect subsequently applied products and systems.
Reference shall also be made to BS EN1504-10:2003 for specific requirements.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.
