Rendacoat FC

RENDACOAT FC is a single component modified polymer cementitious powder. It is composed of OPC, micro silica and specific additives. It is supplied in powder forms ready to mix with clean water at site to produce thixotropic cementitious putty used as fair face coat for filling pin holes, cracks and repairing irregularities of concrete

FC is an ideal material for repairing and patching new construction projects and maintenance, repairing and renovating old construction. It is used for interior and exterior walls and ceilings.
Typical applications include the following:

• Cracks of concrete surface up to 4 mm width.
• Pinholes.
• Precast concrete panels.
• Concrete floor repairing.
• Renforced concrete columns.
• Workshops, garages and service facilities.

• Smooth finish.
• Easy-on application.
• Cost effectives.
• Early compressive strength.
• Compatible with all cementitious substrates.
• Impermeable when immersed in water.
• Primerless.
• Non shrinkage mortar.
• Excellent adhesion to most commonly encountered building substrates and materials.
• Suitable for vertical and horizontal applications in interior and exterior locations.
• Available in a range of attractive colors.
• Low VOC.

The surface should be cleaned. In order to repair damaged area, cracks and
honeycombs, laitance, dust and contaminants should be removed. The substrate also should be free from paint contaminations, oils, grease or any barrier between new mortar repair and main substrate.
New Concrete:
Wet the surface by sweet water before applying RENDACOAT FC. This will
support the binding with main substrate.
Old Concrete:
The weak area should be removed by saw cutting. Dust and loose debris should be removed. Apply BONDACOAT AR as a primer coat. If reinforcing steel is exposed, refer to other specific product RENDAGROUT HB (High Build cementitious Concret Repair)
Prior to application, RENDACOAT FC mortar should be stored under cover and protected from extreme temperatures which may cause inconsistent workability and cure times for the mixed material.
During application in cold conditions, the application should be halted if the ambient temperature is likely to fall below 10°C. Pot life of the mixed material will be affected by ambient temperature.

Depending on the workability desired, add a 20 kg bag to 6 – 7 liters of clean water. The powder should be slowly added to the water and mix using machine mixer until the compound comes homogeneous and lump-free mortar is obtained. Pot life of the mixture depends on the ambient temperature.

Apply RENDACOAT FC on the bed and repaired areas with a spatula, scraper or palette knife above the existing finished level.
Allow RENDACOAT FC to dry to touch for approximately 3 – 4 hours depending on the ambient temperature.
CURING
It is recommended to wet the surface once or twice a day for three days
after application. The curing period depends on the thickness and atmospheric conditions.
COVERAGE
Dependence on the irregularity of substrate.
CLEANING
Tools and equipments should be cleaned immediately by using THINNERCOAT
10 organic solvent.
PACKAGE
20 kg bag.

STORAGE
Product should be stored at 25°C in dry conditions.
FLAMMABILITY
RENDACOAT FC is a nonflammable material.
SHELF LIFE
12 months in a tightly closed container.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The material should be applied in good ventilated areas. Avoid inhalation of the vapors. Use goggles and vinyl gloves. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water, do not use solvent and seek medical attention immediately. The product complies with environmental and occupational health & safety standards ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
