Renderoc RG

constructive solutions

General purpose, non-shrink, cementi-tious microconcrete

Uses

Design criteria

Renderoc RG is used for repairs to damaged reinforced

concrete elements, particularly where access is restricted
and where vibration of the placed material is difficult or
impossible.

Renderoc RG can be applied in sections upto 100mm deep.

For larger sections, the addition of approved aggregates may
be required. This will depend on the specific configuration of
the repair location. Fosroc office shall be contacted for further
information.

It is suitable for various structural strengthening measures

such as encasement build-ups, jacketing etc.

Advantages
Gaseous expansion system compensates for shrinkage
and settlement in the plastic state.
Can be pumped or poured into restricted locations.

Properties
The following results were obtained at a water:Powder ratio
of 0.16 @ 300C.
Typical result at 300C

Test

Highly fluid to allow for placement without vibration.

Rapid strength gain to facilitate early reinstatement.

Compressive strength (N/mm2)

(Tested on 70.7mm cubes as per BS 4551-80)

High ultimate strengths and low permeability of cured

repair.

Renderoc RG is supplied as a ready to use blend of dry

powders which requires only the site addition of clean water
to produce a free-flowing non-shrink repair micro concrete.
The material is based on Portland cements, graded
aggregates and fillers, and additives which impart controlled
expansion characteristics in the plastic state, while
minimising water demand. The low water requirement
ensures high early strength and long-term durability.

For larger repairs, the mixed Renderoc RG may be modified

by the addition of 5mm to 12mm clean, graded, saturated
surface dry aggregates at site. For exceptionally large repairs,
the local Fosroc office shall be consulted.

Technical support
Fosroc offers a technical support package to specifiers, end
users and contractors as well as technical on-site assistance
in locations all over the country.

Specification clauses
Performance specification
The fluid micro-concrete repair material shall be a single
component, cement based, micro-concrete to which only the
site-addition of clean water ( and approved graded coarse
aggregates where specified) shall be permitted. The microconcrete shall contain no metallic aggregates, or chlorides
and shall be shrinkage compensated in the plastic state.

Renderoc RG
The micro concrete in the flowable consistency should achieve
a compressive strength of not less than 10N/mm2 after 24
hours, 40N/mm2 after 7 days and 50 N/mm2 after 28 dyas at
300C. Most importantly, the cured microconcrete shall contain
no metallic aggregates, or chlorides and shall be shrinkage
compensated in the plastic state. The unrestrained expansion
shall be between 1 - 4%. The flexural strength shall not be
less than 5 N/mm2 @ 28 days. The microconcrete shall have
a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the host
concrete. The mixed density of microconcrete shall exceed
2100 kg/m3 at 270C.

Supplier specification
All microcreting (specify details and areas of application) must
be carried out using Renderoc RG, manufactured by Fosroc,
applied strictly in accordance wtih the manufacturer's technical
datasheet.

Application instructions
Preparation
The unrestrained surface area of the repair must be kept to a
minimum. The formwok should include drainage outlets for
pre-soaking and, if beneath a soffit, provision for airventing.
Provision must also be made for suitable access points to
pour or pump the mixed micro-concrete in place.
Defective concrete surfaces must be cut back to a sound base.
Smooth surfaces should be mechanically roughened.
Corroded reinforcing steel should be exposed around its full
circumference and cleaned to remove all loose scale and
corrosion deposits. It is important to clean the steel to a bright
condition. Grit-blasting is recommended.
One coat of Nitozinc Primer should be applied on the
reinforcing steel. If any discontinuity in the applied film is
noticed, one more coat has to be applied.

Alternatively, all prepared concrete substrates should be

primed using Nitobond EP, a slow - setting epoxy bond aid.
Nitobond EP shall be applied only on dry substrate.
Note : For repair sections generally deeper than 100mm it
may be necessary to mix the Renderoc RG with properly
graded 5mm to 12mm silt-free aggregate to minimise
temperature rise. The quantity of aggregate required may vary
depending on the nature and configuration of the repair
location. The typical results with a few aggregate proportions,
for various applications are furnished below for guidelines.

Estimating
Packaging
Renderoc RG is supplied in 25 kg moisture resistant bags.

Yield
Approximately 13.0 litres per 25 kg bag. Actual yield per bag
will depend on the consistency of Renderoc RG and quantity
of coarse aggregate added.

Storage
Several hours prior to placing, the concrete substrates should
be saturated with clean water. Immediately prior to placing,
any free water should be removed.

Shelf life
6 months if kept in a dry store in the original, unopened bags.
If stored at high temperatures and/or high humidity conditions
the shelf life may be reduced.

Additional Information

Health & Safety instructions

Fosroc manufactures a wide range of products specifically

reinforced concrete. These include hand placed and
trowellable repair mortars, fluid micro concretes, chemical
resistant epoxy mortars and a comprehensive package of
protective coatings. In addition, a wide range of complimentary
products are available. These include admixtures, joint
sealants, waterproofing membranes, grouting, anchoring, and
specialised flooring materials.

Renderoc RG contains cement powders which, during normal

use, have no harmful effect on dry skin. However, when
Renderoc RG is mixed, or becomes damp, alkali is released
which can be harmful to the skin. During use, avoid inhalation
of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Suitable gloves, eye
protection and dust masks shall be worn. The use of barrier
creams is recommended. Incase of contact with skin, it shall
be washed with clean water. Incase of contact with eyes, it
shall be rinsed immediately with plenty of clean water and
medical advice shall be sought. If swallowed, medical
attention shall be sought immediately - Vomitting should not
induced. Renderoc RG is non-flammable.

Separate datasheets are available on these products.
