EMACO^® Nanocrete AP

Single component, cementitious based active protective primer for reinforcement steel and adhesive bonding slurry

Emaco^® Nanocrete AP should be used:

in critical environments or when specified by the engineer
when steel is visible and available concrete cover is less than 10 mm
with Emaco^® Nanocrete R2 repairs when steel is visible
to aid bond and application properties of hand applied mortars at extreme thicknesses*

*NB Emaco^® Nanocrete AP is not normally required with Emaco^® Nanocrete R4

Useful facts

Technical data

actively passivates the steel and contains active corrosion inhibitors for further protection
does not affect pull out strength of reinforced steel
fulfils all requirements for active primers as described in EN 1504 part 7
polymer modified
ensures adhesive bond strength as required by EN 1504 part 3
bright colour for easy site control

Easy and simple to use

handy re-sealable packaging can also be used for mixing
- simply mix to a stiff/semi-fluid consistency
- apply using stiff brush e.g. Emaco^® Nanocrete brush
fast setting to reduce waiting times and reduce costs on job site
- second coat (only required on rebars) can be applied after only 30 to 90 minutes
- hand applied repairs can be completed directly in wet second coat
- NB: when spraying repair mortars allow second coat to dry overnight!
multi-use can also be used as a bonding slurry to improve bond and application thicknesses
- mix as above to stiff/semi fluid consistency and work well into pre-soaked surface
- Tip: to save time and costs apply this bonding slurry at the same time as the second priming coat on reinforcing steel!
