BASF — The Chemical Company

Emaco^®Nanocrete FC is used:

• for thin layer repairs, fine finishing and levelling of concrete elements e.g. balconies, building facades, parapet walls, precast panels, beam edges
• for fine finishing and levelling repairs on large vertical and overhead areas where fast setting properties with short over-coating times are needed
• to repair honeycomb areas
• as a blowhole filler in precast industry or anywhere where minor defects in concrete structures have to be repaired
• inside and outside, on vertical and overhead surfaces, in dry and wet environments

Useful facts
