SETRELEASE ECO

A mould release agent is a chemical substance that creates a moulding surface barrier so that products don’t get stuck to a mould. We are well aware of the need to use mould release agent for concrete and formwork, as it is very crucial to prevent the concrete from sticking to the surface of the mould.
When a proper mould release agent is not used it has been observed that it becomes difficult to remove the mould and even the finish of the concrete is not aesthetically pleasing. To achieve easy removal of mould and a good smooth finish of the concrete surface it is advisable to use an excellent performing mould release agent.
Our SETRELEASE ECO is a wonderful product in itself, it is an eco friendly, biodegradable oil based mould release agent. It has no impact on the mould besides allowing it to detach from the concrete leaving a smooth finish.
It is a specially formulated blend of bio degradable oil based mould release agent, which is superior then conventional mould oil. The chemicals react with the alkali in the concrete to form a thin water repellent skin on the surface of the mould, thereby enabling easy stripping from concrete and protects steel and wooden formwork. SETRELEASE ECO is supplied as ready to use liquid.
Due to the excellent release properties, little or no deposit of cement paste remains on the shutter surface. Minimum cleaning & a further coat of SETRELEASE ECO renders shuttering ready for re-use.
SETRELEASE ECO provides quick, clean and easy stripping of moulds and formwork. It ensures high quality, fair-faced and stain-free concrete surface. Protects aluminium windows and door frames from plaster and mortar splashes.

SALIENT FEATURES:
• ECO friendly
• Ensures good fair-faced concrete
• Can be used on all type of formwork
• Non-staining
• Minimises cleaning of shutters before reuse
• Can be used with steam curing
• Reduces the incidence of air pocket and tendency of surface spalli ng of corners
• Economical

*Applicable on all types of formwork*

APPLICATION:
SETRELEASE ECO can be applied by brush, sponge or conventional mould oil-sprayer. If an oil sprayer is used, care should be taken to choose correct size of
sprayer. Apply one thin and even coat of SETRELEASE ECO over the entire surface. Even a thin coat is enough to achieve effective coverage.
Excess application is uneconomical and may lead to surface dusting. Wire or brush off any excess particles on the surface and apply one coat of SETRELEASE ECO as before. To remove SETRELEASE ECO completely, for recoating mould or shutter surface, use strong industrial detergent together with stiff brushing & then thoroughly rinse with clean water. It is recommended that after application of SETRELEASE ECO concrete pouring to be done within 24 hrs or same day.

COVERAGE:
A coverage between 40 to 60 m²/litre is possible depending upon the porosity and texture of mould surface.

CEMSCREED HM(F)

With time the hardened concrete loses its ability to hold the binding concrete materials together due to weathering or atmospheric condition. Concrete repair products are used to repair building cracks, surface scaling, damaged or chipped out concrete surface etc.

Benefits of Concrete:
1) Prevents Longevity
2) Prevents further damage to concrete
3) Reduces the risk of injury
4) Stays Functional

Every time your concrete structure has cracks or it is has started scaling or chipping off there is a good chance of moisture entering into that part of the concrete structure which can cause more damage to the structure and even cause corrosion of the structural reinforcement. The moisture seepage can cause the cracks to even widen due to the freeze and thaw reaction cycle.
It better repair material can increase the lifeline of the structure by giving it back its durability which in longer run saves time and money and frequent repair work is not allowed.

CEMSCREED HM(F):
It is a ready to use blend of dry powder which only requires water addition to it making it a free flowing, non shrink repair mortar. It is a micro concrete repair mortar infused with fibres which help to compensate the shrinkage of concrete. It gives high early strength and long term durability due to less water requirement. It is suitable for all types of structural repair work of load bearing locations.

CEMSCREED HM(F) is used to repair columns where a major material loss is observed, for soffit repair work, for repair in areas where use of hand applied mortar is not practically possible or even the reinforcement is very heavily congested. It is used to do beams and columns jacketing work.

For larger repair work 12mm clean, well graded, saturated, surface dry aggregate shall be added to CEMSCREED HM(F).

Coming to the application of the product it is required to make sure the surface preparation is done very well, for that cut back the defective concrete till a sound base is reached. If there is a smooth surface then roughen the surface to make sure the new material can be adhered to the old surface properly. If there is any exposed corroded reinforcement, then check the whole circumference of the bar and clean all the rust and corrosion from it. After that you can apply SAFECORE R product on the exposed reinforcement bars to stop it from getting corroded further due to any reasons. Make sure that the surface is wetted properly and any access water present is removed. Apply FAIRBOND EP as a bonding primer on the prepared surface and then pour/ place CEMSCREED HM(F) using pump. After the placing is done curing shall start after 2 hours for as long as concrete curing is required.

FAIRMATE STAMP CONCRETE

Stamp concrete is a decorative and intelligent approach for exterior floor surfaces. This approach to exterior floor surfaces is very cost effective and there are lot of design options available such as surface resembling to paver, flagstone, slate, worn rock, bricks, stones, tiles or wood with various colour options. Further coating of stamp concrete can give a glossy finish for better aesthetics. The process includes preparation of sub-grade, placing of forms, providing reinforcement for stability, placing the concrete, screed and finishing the concrete, applying colour and lastly stamping the concrete using desired moulds.
Stamped concrete can make a dramatic impression, and there are many reasons why home owners are choosing this authentic material to enhance their landscapes and buildings. Along with the known durability and long lasting feature of regular concrete, stamping adds a decorative touch making it a desirable and economical product for all.

What are the benefits of Stamp Concrete?

 It is durable and long lasting, which can last for decades without the requirement of renovation.
 It is available in many colours and patterns.
 Can be installed twice as fast as natural stones and pavers.
 Can be customised with lots of design possibilities
 Better resistance to traffic and moisture
 Increased durability

Procedure of creating decorative outdoor flooring with stamp

Concrete:

 Surface preparation: The sub-grade is important for concrete and therefore it must be well compacted due to settlement or cracks due to settlement.
 Formwork placement: formwork should be clean and should be able to withstand the concrete placement.
 Placement of reinforcement: Nominal reinforcement is usually placed for structural function to provide structural integrity to avoid cracks and increase impact resistance.
 Apply a layer of screed for levelling and giving a proper finish to the surface.
 Then apply FAIRMATE STAMPCRETE HARDENER through broadcasting on the screed when it has reached the desired surface plasticity. After the first layer of broadcasting let it absorb water from the concrete and float it using a bull floating.
 Apply second layer of coloured hardener for better coverage.
 Next apply FAIRMATE STAMPCRETE RELEASE AGENT to make it easily for removing the stamp without sticking to the concrete surface.
 Before stamping check whether the concrete has attended the right amount of Plasticity. Stamping too early and too late can spoil the whole work and desired results will not be obtained.
 The stamping: Before actual stamping, the stamp layout is diagrammed and enough workers are deployed as the window of time for stamping is generally short, especially in warm weather. Typically, the edges are pre-textured first so that when larger stamps are used later, they may not overlap the forms and get fully depressed into the concrete. The concrete is then stamped in the same sequence it was placed. Stamping alignment is checked regularly verifying the pattern to ensure desired outcome.
 Once the slab has cured sufficiently, you should apply a finish coat of sealer. Most manufacturers recommend applying the sealer several weeks later, after a light surface cleaning. Be careful not to apply the sealer too heavily, which could trap moisture in the slab. One of the most effective techniques for applying sealer is to combine both spraying and rolling, especially when the stamped pattern has deep grout lines. Going back over the surface with a roller where necessary helps to distribute the sealer uniformly.

EPOAQUA SL

Is it possible to have a water vapour permeable system which gives excellent waterproofing to the substrate?
Yes absolutely, Our EPOAQUA SL product is water based epoxy, water vapour permeable system.

It is known that concrete surface has some water which does not bond with the cement and is later evaporated due to the hydration process. The pores that remains intact after this water is evaporated or after the hardening of concrete can collect water again due to various reasons such as poor plumbing or soil moisture content or even rain fall etc. This collected water is again evaporated due to the equilibrium reached with the exposed surrounding. This process of achieving equilibrium will rather continue if there is increase or decrease in relative humidity of the ambient air.
This situation of moisture content present in pours when try to escape after the coating is applied can cause bubbles on the surface before hardening. It can also reduce adhesion of the coating to the substrate. To avoid these situations to occur it is required that the floor topping allows the surface to breathe and allow easy evaporation of the water vapour from the substrate but at the same time protect the substrate from liquid water.

Such flooring system can be effective on humid substrates. These floorings due to its ability to allow the substrates to breath can help it to have
