Specialized Polymer cement mortar plastering treatment to the deteriorated ceiling portion of roof slabs, terrace, water retaining structures, toilets etc., has to be done as per the following procedure:
SPECIALISED POLYMER CEMENT MORTAR TREATMENT TO THE CEILING
[1] Chipping of existing deteriorated, damaged, loose particles of
ceiling complete with wire brushes, wooden mallets ,removing of
corrosion/rust from reinforcement bars with emery paper/rust
removing chemicals and cleaning of the surface from dirt and dust
[2] Surface is then thoroughly Sprinkled with water
[3]. Providing of extra steel reinforcement bars wherever necessary
by tying with epoxy resins or by welding with existing bars
( Necessary steel reinforcement should be provided by Department at free of cost )
[4] Providing and applying one coat of Corrosion preventive coating
treatment to exposed steel reinforcement bars with
ROOFGUARD AC / ROOFGUARD RC (Armstrong).
[5] Providing and applying one coat of Latex rubber based bonding
agent –ROOFBOND SBR (Armstrong)
mixing with cement as per manufacturers specification.
[6]. Laying of Polymer cement mortar plastering mix of 1:4 mixing
with Acrylic Polymer admixture for reinstatement concrete/mortar
ROOFCRETE AR 576 (Armstrong ) @ 2 Ltrs, per
bag of 50 Kgs., cement at an average thickness of 20mm as a
first coat and later another 10mm with neat finish. OR
Item No.6 can be done mixing with - ROOFGUARD 500 ( Armstrong)
per bag of 50 Kgs cement as above advised.
SUGGESTIONS :
Surface preparation is of great importance and will affect the degree of adhesion and life of the treatment. Surface has been prepared by chipping of existing deteriorated, damaged, loose particles of ceiling with wire brushes, wooden mallets, removal of corrosion, rust from exposed reinforcement 4and cleaning of the surface from dirt and dust. Extra steel reinforcement support will be provided wherever necessary and the same should be supplied by Dept., at free of cost.
NECESSITY OF TREATMENT:
Polymer cement mortar treatment for repairs of roof ceilings, particularly to the existing ceiling which was de bonded, corrosion effective and lose of strength. The treatment will provide corrosion preventive measures and sealing of capillary tracks of concrete, excellent rehabilitation with high degree of adhesion, high compressive and flexural strength to repaired mortar, it also reduce the shrinkage of mortar and minimized cracks, thus it proven to be the most effective treatment for ceiling.
AS PER SITE CONDITION NECESSARY PRODUCT HAS TO DECIDE
ROOFGUARD AC ( Armstrong ) :
Ready to use single component, long lasting corrosion preventive coating for steel reinforcement which penetrates in microscopic cracks and crevices due to its ultra high surface attraction, excellent chemical resistant to most diluted acids and alkalies, excellent adhesion to steel and cement, non-toxic and non-flammable with high durable coating.
ROOFBOND SBR ( Armstrong ) :
Excellent bonding strength between old and new concrete, corrosion inhibiting, admixture for cementitious systems. Excellent for waterproofing systems and structural rehabilitation works, abrasion resistant flooring. Ideal to use for bonding for concrete repairs.
ROOFCRETE AR 576 ( Armstrong )
The liquid of product based on acrylic co-polymers when mixed with cement will produce high build, super strength, reinstatement mortar for repairs and rehabilitation of damaged / distressed RCC members. It provides excellent resistant to the cracking and over comes the risk of shrinkage, protect reinforcement, highly durable and high flexural strength [ 8 N/mm2 ] even thin sections of plaster, high compressive strength [42 N/mm2], impact strength [3Kg/cm] with excellent workability, better cohesion for mortar mixes. Corresponding increase in tensile strength of applied mortar by polymer impregnation.
Dosage / Coverage :
ROOFBOND SBR : ( Armstrong )
Bond coat 50-60 SFT per Ltr / coat mix for repair 10 Ltrs Per bag of 50 Kgs cement.
ROOFGUARD AC : ( Armstrong)
50 – 60 SFT per Ltr / Coat
ROOFCRETE AR 576 : (Armstrong)
500ml to 2 Ltrs per bag of 50 Kgs cement for on site mixing
