EuroFix Repair Mortar R3
Fibre-reinforced, non-shrink structural repair mortar for concrete and façades
Description
A fibre-reinforced, non-shrink structural repair mortar, classified EN 1504-3 — R3, for repairing and reconstructing concrete and façades. Designed for columns, beams, spalled concrete and exposed-rebar zones, it delivers ≥ 30 MPa compressive strength and reliable, code-compliant performance for structural works and tenders.
Fields of Application
- Concrete columns and beams
- Façades and spalled concrete surfaces
- Exposed-rebar repair zones
- Reconstruction of degraded concrete sections
- Structural projects and certified tenders
Technical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mixing ratio | ≈ 3.5–4 L water per 25 kg bag |
| Compressive strength | ≥ 30 MPa |
| Layer thickness | 5–40 mm per pass |
| Reinforcement | Fibre-reinforced |
| Shrinkage | Non-shrink |
| Initial set | ≈ 40 min |
| Application temp. | +5°C to +35°C |
| Classification | EN 1504-3 — R3 |
| Curing | Moist cure 24–48 h |
Surface Preparation
- Remove all weak, loose concrete down to a sound, solid substrate.
- Clean exposed rebar of rust and treat with a protective coating.
- Pre-wet the surface to a saturated surface-dry (SSD) condition before application.
- Remove any standing water from the surface before applying the mortar.
Application Method
- Add the powder to clean water and mix with a slow drill to a lump-free paste.
- Let the mix rest 2 minutes to mature, then re-stir before use.
- Apply in passes of 5–40 mm, compacting well to ensure full contact and full encasement of the rebar.
- Finish and smooth before initial set (≈ 40 min).
- Protect from rapid drying with moist curing for 24–48 hours.
Consumption
| Use | Rate |
|---|---|
| Per mm thickness per m² | ≈ 1.8 kg/m²/mm |
| 20 mm layer | ≈ 36 kg/m² |
| 25 kg bag covers | ≈ 14 L fresh mortar |
Comparison vs. Ordinary Site Mix
| Criterion | Ordinary Mix | EuroFix |
|---|---|---|
| Structural rating | No rating | EN 1504-3 — R3 |
| Shrinkage & cracking | Shrinks and cracks | Non-shrink and fibre-reinforced |
| Bond to concrete | Weak, debonds | Reliable structural bond |
| Rebar protection | Permeable, rust returns | Dense, protects the steel |
| Re-work | Fails, costly re-work follows | Durable, certified repair |
Consumption & Cost
The bag may cost more than a cheap sand-cement patch, but ordinary patching shrinks, cracks and debonds and carries no structural rating, so it fails and must be redone at higher cost and safety risk. EuroFix R3 is non-shrink, fibre-reinforced and classified EN 1504-3 — R3, delivering structural reliability and code-compliance for reconstruction and tenders — turning the higher bag price into real savings by eliminating failure and repeated repair.
Packaging
25 kg bag
Storage & Shelf Life
Store in original sealed bags in a dry place, raised off the ground on wooden pallets. Shelf life 12 months from the production date printed on the packaging.
Safety
Contains cement which reacts alkaline with moisture. Wear protective gloves and goggles. On eye contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Keep out of reach of children.
