Silplast PM15

Silplast PM15 is alkaline in nature and will protect embedded steel reinforcement. It is specially designed for location where high compressive strengths are required. The mortar is suitable where superior resistance is required to chlorides and carbon dioxide. Silplast PM15 is supplied as a grey powder along with a liquid polymer and has to be mixed with water on site to produce a highly consistent, high strength repair mortar. The material is based on carefully blended cement, graded fillers and chemical additives and is polymer modified to provide a mortar with good handling characteristics, while minimising water demand. The hardened product exhibits  excellent thermal compatibility with concrete and outstanding water requirement ensures fast strength gain and  long-term  durability.

Usages And Advantages:

• High strength
• Extremely low permeability provides maximum protection against carbon dioxide  and chlorides
• Can be applied by hand, like conventional mortars
• Excellent bond to the concrete substrate
• Shrinkage compensated
• No site batching required, supplied in pre-weighed prepacked condition
• Only addition of water at site to be made while mixing the powder and liquid parts
• Contains no chlorides.

Silplast PM15 is designed for vertical or horizontal  applications. It can be applied from a minimum of  5mm  to 15mm thickness in  vertical  sections.  Higher  thicknesses  can be achieved by the use of formwork. Thicker sections  can be built up in layers. In horizontal locations Silplast PM15 can be applied up to 50mm thickness. The material should not  be applied at less than 5mm thickness. Consult Silkon for further information.
