Concrete is used more than any other
man-made material in the world. As
of 2006, about 7.5 cubic kilometers of
concrete are made each year, more
than one cubic meter for every person
on earth.
Concrete is a very durable construction
material; however, in today's
environmental conditions, it can be
damaged by carbonation of the

concrete and corrosion of the steel
reinforcement. For concrete
renovation, mortars modified with
VINNAPAS ® dispersions offer crucial
benefits: they improve adhesion to
installed concrete and steel, increase
deformability and flexural strength,
lower the elastic modulus and improve
workability and wetting properties.
They also reduce the ingress of
the level of impermeability to CO2 and
pollutants such as road salt, and improve
freeze / thaw resistance.
substances causing carbonation of
the concrete cover, and of substances
that corrode the steel reinforcement.
The first step is to clean the surface,
remove all the affected concrete and
sandblast the steel bars if required.
A primer is then applied, followed by
a base mortar. Then a finer mortar is
applied prior to a final topcoat.
