MasterEmaco P 5000 AP

Multi-use active reinforcement primer

Successful concrete repairs are reliant on using a suitable primer to ensure the protection of any exposed rebars and the bonding of repair mortars. MasterEmaco P 5000 AP is a single-component cement-based primer that not only protects steel and inhibits rust but also provides a suitable surface for concrete-repair mortars.

Where can MasterEmaco P 5000 AP be used?

As well as protecting steel reinforcement, MasterEmaco P 5000 AP can be used as a bonding slurry for subsequent repair mortars. When mixed with water to make a slurry, it can be applied by brush to the clean exposed reinforcement, or directly on the concrete as a bonding slurry.

Typical applications include:

Where steel is visible, and depth of cover will be less than 10 mm
On concrete contaminated with chlorides
In critical environments for extra protection
When repair mortars can’t be applied immediately after cleaning rebars
To support bond and application of hand-applied repair mortars in extreme thicknesses/conditions
With MasterEmaco N 5200 repairs when steel is visible

What makes MasterEmaco P 5000 AP different?

MasterEmaco P 5000 AP reinstates a high pH environment to protect the reinforcement steel, and its active corrosion-inhibiting additives provide extra long-term steel reinforcement protection. The primer is formulated for optimal compatibility with steel rebars and concrete or repair mortars.

What are the advantages of using MasterEmaco P 5000 AP?

The long-term protection of steel reinforcement plays a significant part in avoiding concrete deterioration. Owners will benefit from fewer repair cycles during the lifetime of the structure, helping to reduce overall downtime and structural maintenance costs.
