MasterEmaco S 488
MasterEmaco S 488 - A shrinkage compensated, polymer fibre reinforced, thixotropic repair mortar
Description
MasterEmaco S 488 is a pre-bagged ready-to-use structural repair mortar in powder form. When mixed with the correct amount of water, it produces a thixotropic, high strength repair mortar, reinforced with acrylic polymer fibre. It possess excellent bond characteristics to steel reinforcement and to concrete. MasterEmaco S 488 mortar is shrinkage compensated. It has low permeability and is extremely durable.
MasterEmaco S 488 contains no metallic aggregate and is chloride-free. MasterEmaco S 488 is formulated for sprayed or trowelled applications – in thicknesses up to 50 mm in one layer by hand application. Greater thicknesses can be achieved when spray applied.

What are the advantages of MasterEmaco S 488?
- Shrinkage compensation – reduces the risk of
cracking due to shrinkage and ensures full
contact with host concrete and load transfer in
structural repair situations
- No primer required – allows rapid application at
reduced cost
- Can be spray applied – rapid application of
large quantities
- Low rebound – when spray applied rebound is
minimal, with subsequent saving in material
cost
Extremely low permeability – gives excellent resistance to attack by aggressive elements
