MasterEmaco S 488 - Shrinkage compensated, fiber reinforced, thyrotrophic repair mortar
How does MasterEmaco S 488 work?
MasterEmaco S 488, is a cementitious prebagged 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 fibers. 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 troweled applications, in thicknesses up to 50 mm in one layer by hand application. Greater thicknesses can be achieved when spray applied.

What are the benefits of MasterEmaco S 488?
What are the benefits 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.
