Emaco® Nanocrete R3 is recommended for use:

• where reprofiling by hand is necessary e.g. stair nosings, balcony edges, precast panel edges, beam and column edges
• large area repairs where high build is necessary e.g. building facades
• for horizontal patching in traffic areas

Useful facts

• pack size: 20 kg
• water addition: 4.2 to 4.6 litres/bag depending on consistency required
• consumption: each 20 kg bag covers 1.4 m² at 10 mm thick
• open work time: 45 to 60 minutes at 21 ºC
• finishing time: with sponge or similar approx. 90 minutes
• minimum application temperature: > 5 °C
• shelf life: 12 months in unopened sacks
• curing: in hot, dry or windy conditions ensure correct curing

Technical data

• medium strength structural repair (exceeds the requirements of class R3 of EN 1504 part 3) > 35 MPa at 28 days
• lower modulus > 15 GPa at 28 days (class R3 of EN 1504 part 3)
• applied nanotechnology, fibre reinforced and newly developed shrinkage compensation to minimise shrinkage

Lightweight and easy to use but strong

• easy lightweight application properties by trowel, hand or spray
• lightweight formulation allows high build in single layers
  • up to 75 mm horizontally, vertically or even 50 mm overhead
  • for improved build thicknesses apply bond or contact layer of mortar or Emaco^® Nanocrete AP using special Emaco^® Nanocrete brush
• minimum layer thickness 5 mm
• easy to create profiles and corners without formwork
• easy to create fair finish with trowel
• high yield 20 kg sack easy for carrying
