CONSTRUCTION CHEMISTRY
Expanmortar* S
Shrinkage controlled, polymer modified, structural
grade cementitious repair mortar system
Uses Properties
Expanmortar* S is suitable for hand application to repairs The following typical results were obtained at a water to
where significant load bearing is required. Typical powder ratio of 0.15.
applications would include, but not be limited to, the
following : Test method Typical result
• Vertical and overhead repair of honeycombing. Drying shrinkage to ASTM C 157-93

• Patch repairs of column, beam and slab. 7 days : < 300 microstrain
• Patch repairs to stairs, steps and other areas subject 28 days : < 500 microstrain
to repeated, heavy trafficking.
• Arris repairs to joint edges Permeability : < 10 mm
• General structural repairs where formwork cannot be (DIN 1048 Part 5)
easily erected.
Flexural strength : > 7 N/mm2 at 28 days
Advantages (BS 6319 Pt.3)
Expanmortar* S features Dimensional Stability Technology Tensile strength : > 3.5 N/mm2 at 28 days
–a new materials technology which controls the rate of (BS 6319 Pt.7)
drying shrinkage such that, when used correctly:
Compressive strength : 50 N/mm2 at 7 days
The dimensions of the repair remain stable; and thus (BS 1881 Pt.116 1 ) 55 N/mm2 at 28 days
eliminating failure, due to shrinkage cracking.
Water absorption : < 2%
This in turn leads to a series of associated benefits : (BS 1881 Pt.122)
Cost effective - shrinkage control enables repairs to be Note1: 100mm cubes, air cured @ 25 °C

Definable performance - positive benefits are easily
demonstrated via a single, simple measurement. Attention to the basic design criteria given below should
ensure that the full benefits of this technology are gained
Description in use:
Expanmortar* S is supplied as a ready to use blend of (i) Recommended limits for a single application are:
dry powders, which requires only the addition of clean
water to produce a highly consistent repair mortar suitable Minimum applied thickness : 5 mm
for most structural and load bearing repairs. Overhead sections : up to 25 mm thick
Vertical sections : up to 35 mm thick
Small pockets or horizontal : up to 100 mm thick
Maximum length : up to 3 m
NOTE: If the repair area exceeds 2.5 m2 , consideration

should be given to the use of mass fill by means of either
