Description
CICO TAPECRETE P-151, popularly known as TAPECRETE is an acrylic based Polymer Modified Cementitious Flexible Composite coating system. CICO TAPECRETE P-151 in conjunction with cement provides properties to combat the shortcomings of plain cement, particularly its poor adhesion properties, low impact strength, low flexural strength and thin section fragility. CICO TAPECRETE P-151 polymer adds to the potential use as well as enhances the properties of cement slurry/ mortar/concrete making them excellent choice for use in new as well as renovation work.
CICO TAPECRETE P-151 is used for surface treatment, protecting, waterproofing and repairing concrete and masonry. Waterproofing of basements, toilets, terraces, roofs, swimming pools, water towers etc. General concrete repairs. Protection of concrete against corrosion, salt attack etc.
Surface Preparation Prior to application of CICO TAPECRETE P-151, surface must be prepared as mentioned below to avoid failure and to achieve maximum beneficial properties.
Surface Preparation Prior to application of CICO TAPECRETE P-151, surface must be prepared as mentioned below to avoid failure and to achieve maximum beneficial properties.
New flat surface like sub-base concrete shall be made reasonably smooth so as not to impede the application of CICO TAPECRETE P-151 coating and to avoid sharp projections.
All concrete surfaces shall be thoroughly pre-wetted prior to the application of CICO TAPECRETE P-151 coating by pouring water on flat surface or by spraying water on vertical/inclined surfaces
When placing CICO TAPECRETE P-151 coating, water should be removed so that surface is only damp. In no case there should be standing water.
Depressions are to be filled and levelled using CICO TAPECRETE P-151 fillers. For filler, the mixing ratio is 1 kg cement: 1.5 kg silica sand: 0.50 kg of CICO TAPECRETE P-151.
