A new concrete repair system, comprising two a.b.e. Construction Chemicals products, is providing excellent results and is increasingly being specified in various parts of South Africa. a.b.e., with head office in Boksburg, is part of the Saint-Gobain Group.
In terms of the new concrete repair system, a.b.e.’s durarep EC, a three-component epoxy cement mortar with selected fine aggregates, is overcoated with abecote SF 217, a two-component solvent-free Novolac epoxy resin.
The combination of durarep EC and abecote SF 217 was selected for the repair and protection of the return activated sludge (RAS) pump station of the Strandfontein sewer works in Cape Town, completed by main contractor, Hiload Inyanga Construction. A total of 120 kits of 21kg durarep EC were needed for this project.
Brett Papayanni, a.b.e. General Construction Sales Manager in Cape Town, who handled the two Western Cape projects on behalf of a.b.e., says trowel-applied durarep EC provides exceptional non-slump consistency for the smoothing of irregular surfaces and blow holes on concrete and masonry.
