Concrete, one of the strongest and most durable substrates, is also subject to potential deterioration because of a number of physical, chemical and environmental factors that can shorten the lifespan of concrete.

Fosroc’s high-performance protection systems extend the life of a concrete structure far beyond its original design life. An investment made to extend the life cycle of concrete is an investment that more than pays for itself in the long run.

To prevent the deterioration and decay of concrete by repairing and strengthening, Fosroc offers a range of products in accordance with EN 1504, both in terms of serviceability and technical properties. These products are also excellent for use in new construction projects.

Fosroc is a pioneer in the development of genuine concrete repair materials. Every year, thousands of concrete repair projects are carried out worldwide using Fosroc products and with the use of years of accumulated expertise and experience of Fosroc’s specialists. This experience is reflected in everything they do, from assistance to know-how in application and in-house development of new materials and systems.

Fosroc is an undisputed pioneer in terms of a wide range of admixtures developed by Fosroc for improved consistency, productivity, innovation and cost-effectiveness of concrete.

Fosroc produces and supplies the following concrete mixes:

  Superplastifiers
  Plasticisers
  Accelerators
  Corrosion inhibitors
  Viscosity modifying admixtures
  Integral waterproofing mixtures
  Curing compounds
  Stabilisers
  Special admixtures

One of the latest admixtures is the new generation of Superplastifiers developed by Fosroc based on polycarboxylate ether (PCE) technology.

Structuro PCE technology offers the following advantages:

  The ability to create ‘zero defect’ concrete
  The ability to maintain higher slump flow values for two hours
  Self-compacting concrete can significantly reduce placement force
  Good compaction and low voids improve steel protection against corrosion

In addition, Structuro PCE technology is also of great interest to specifiers, producers and users because of:

  Faster placement in adverse conditions
  Non-separated flow within the most congested reinforcement
  Reduced vibration and finishing
  Reduced labour effort
  Improved durability and high early strengths
  Highly effective in cement replacements
  Reduction of noise in the environment and thus improved health and safety conditions

Despite the fact that sealants are one of the lowest cost items of a construction project and certainly do not stand out in terms of volume, their presence and performance is an essential component for the integrity and durability of any construction. The specific application of correct sealing technology requires expertise, experience and the right product.

Fosroc manufactures and supplies:

  Cast sealants – exclusively designed for horizontal joints in floors and pavements
  Sealants for sealant sprayers – suitable for use in vertical and horizontal joints

Of course, the choice of the right sealant is determined by the properties required for each application. Such as, how fast-curing, flexible and durable should the sealant be.

The Fosroc product Thioflex 555 has been specially developed as an exceptionally durable, cost-reducing innovative and fast-curing sealant for street pavements.

What properties should an ideal sealant have?

  Stable in storage
  No mixing required
  Easy to apply
  Good adhesion without primer on joint surfaces
  Minimal shrinkage after application in the joint
  No leeking or staining of surrounding substrates
  Good cohesion: freedom of movement without splitting
  Resistant to chemical spillage
  Resistance to weathering, ageing and bacterial attack
  Paintable
  Retention of elasticity and other desirable physical properties
  No regular maintenance required
 Recoverable if seal is damaged
  Complies with relevant standards

Unfortunately, there is not one sealant that combines all these properties together, but that is not a bad thing either. To make the right choice, you must first decide which properties are indispensable for your specific application.
