Product Summary
Master Builders Solutions concrete repair and structural reinforcement products have been protecting people and structures for over 100 years. Our complete system approach works to both repair structures and prevent future problems.
We offer:
- Reduced curing time for faster return to service
- Stronger structures
- Lifecycle extension
Proper curing is required to develop the strength and durability properties of concrete. In addition, the abrasion resistance and aesthetics of concrete surfaces can be significantly enhanced by using concrete surface treatments, leading to a longer service life, an extended aesthetic life of decorative surfaces and better return on investment.
Construction and Materials
Master Builders Solutions offers a range of products designed for masonry and concrete repair and restoration. While specific construction and material details can vary significantly between individual products within their portfolio, the general principles and types of materials utilized are consistent with industry standards for high-performance repair mortars and grouts.
The construction of these products typically involves carefully formulated mixtures of specific raw materials. These components are selected to achieve desired properties such as strength, durability, adhesion, workability, and compatibility with existing substrates.
Key Material Components:
- Binders: The primary binding agents are usually cementitious, such as Portland cement or specialized blended cements. These hydration-reactive materials form a solid matrix that binds the other components together and provides the core strength of the repaired material.
- Aggregates: Precisely graded aggregates, typically silica sands or other inert mineral particles, are used to provide bulk, reduce shrinkage, and contribute to the compressive strength and texture of the final product. The particle size distribution is critical for achieving optimal packing density and workability.
- Admixtures: A variety of chemical admixtures are incorporated to modify and enhance the performance characteristics of the product. These can include:
- Plasticizers/Superplasticizers: Improve workability and reduce water demand, leading to higher strength and durability.
- Accelerators/Retarders: Control the setting time of the cementitious binder, allowing for appropriate application durations depending on environmental conditions and project requirements.
- Air-Entraining Agents: Enhance freeze-thaw resistance by creating microscopic air voids within the hardened matrix.
- Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures (SRAs): Minimize drying shrinkage, reducing the potential for cracking.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Protect reinforcing steel within concrete structures from corrosion.
- Waterproofing Agents: Reduce the permeability of the hardened product to water and aggressive substances.
- Fibers: In some specialized formulations, synthetic or natural fibers may be included to improve tensile strength, ductility, and crack resistance.
- Polymers: Redispersible polymer powders or liquid polymer emulsions are often used to enhance adhesion to a variety of substrates, improve flexural strength, and increase resistance to abrasion and chemical attack.
The construction process for applying these materials typically involves proper substrate preparation, such as cleaning, roughening, and pre-wetting, followed by accurate mixing of the product with specified amounts of water or liquid components. The mixed material is then applied using appropriate tools and techniques depending on whether it is a trowel-applied mortar, a pumpable grout, or a spray-applied coating. Curing procedures are also crucial to ensure optimal strength development and durability.
