​MasterEmaco S 5400CI

High strength, shrinkage compensated, fibre reinforced, structural repair mortar with active corrosion inhibition

How does MasterEmaco S 5400CI work?

MasterEmaco S 5400CI is a single component, extra high-strength, high modulus, shrinkage compensated structural repair mortar that meets the requirements of the new European Norm EN 1504 Part 3 class R4.

MasterEmaco S 5400CI  is used for the structural repair of concrete elements such as:

• Columns, piers and cross beams of all bridges
• Cooling towers and chimneys and other industrial environments
• Marine structures, water treatment and sewerage facilities
• Tunnels, pipes, outfalls and all below ground construction especially in harsh ground conditions

What are the unique features of MasterEmaco S 5400CI?

MasterEmaco S 5400CI  ensures load transfer based on its high modulus and adhesion to host concrete. There is not any need of a secondary reinforcement due to highly thixotropic mortar properties. MasterEmaco S 5400CI contains Portland cement, graded sands, selected polymer fibres and special additives to significantly reduce the risk and incidence of shrinkage cracking. When mixed with water, it forms a highly thixotropic mortar that can easily be spray or trowel applied.

What are the benefits of MasterEmaco S 5400CI?

• Versatile – can be applied in extreme environments where active corrosion inhibition is required
• Shrinkage compensation systems and fibre reinforcement – minimise crack tendency
• Highly thixotropic – can be applied up to 50 mm without the need of secondary reinforcement
• High early and ultimate strengths – matches high strength concrete found in structures
• Outstanding workability – easy placing and finishing for applicators
• High modulus and excellent adhesion – ensuring load transfer in structural repair
• Excellent freeze/thaw resistance – suitable for all climates
• High carbonation resistance – suitable for exposed repairs in urban environments
• Sulphate resistant – suitable for contact with ground waters
• Very low permeability to water and chlorides – protection of reinforcing steel
• Low chromate (Cr[VI] < 2 ppm ) – low risk of skin irritation
• Chloride-free – does add to the chloride load in contaminated structures
  
• Approved to AS/NZS 4020:2018 (tested to the maximum exposure level) - suitable for contact with potable water
