CERA MICROCONCRETE

Free flow micro concrete for demanding

concrete repairs
An ISO 9001:2015 Company

Cera Microconcrete is a ready to use product developed for meeting the specific
requirement of repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures. The product is manufactured
from graded aggregates, special cements and various chemicals to derive unique functional
characteristics.

ADVANTAGES:

 Excellent adhesion with parent concrete, positive grip with reinforcement

 High early and final strength
 Efficient restoration material
 Compensation for shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state
 High fluidity enables placing without Vibration
 Low permeability. Ensures water tightness
 Easy to use
 Pre-packed system - overcomes the batched weight variations

FUNCTION:

Cera Microconcrete is a non-shrink Cera Microconcrete can be used for

cementitious micro concrete with 5 to 12mm
down aggregates, for repairs and restoration
of reinforced concrete elements. The excellent
adhesion and fine granular structure of micro
concrete enable its placement in difficult
locations also.
USES
Cera Microconcrete is compatible for use
with different concrete grades and can be
used for thin sections also.
Cera Microconcrete is widely used in repairs
where conventional concrete placing and
vibrating is difficult due to congestion of
reinforcement.
Cera Microconcrete is an ideal material for
structural strengthening of columns, beams
etc. by encasement or jacketing.
repairing larger sections by mixing with 5-
12mm aggregates in the proportion of 50 to
100% by weight of microconcrete.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
Surface Preparation: The damaged or
cracked portions has to be removed with
chisel and hammer and the surface should be
cleaned with wire brush to make it sound and
free from dust, loose particles, cement
laitance, grease etc. The parent concrete must
be applied with Cera Bond EP, the epoxy-
bonding agent for proper adhesion.
Absorbent surfaces have to be pre-wetted
with water to make it saturated.
Mixing & Application: The dry material
should be mixed with approximately 6-7 litres
of water per 50kg bag. Depending on the
application, Cera Microconcrete shall be
mixed to fluid or mortar consistency.
 The mixing shall be carried out in a concrete expansion
mixer. For mixing small quantities a drilling Thermal conductivity 1.5 W/m°C
machine fitted with a paddle can be used. Yeild 0.026m³ / 50Kg
Supply form Powder
Cera Microconcrete has to be poured to the
areas by providing encasement using firm Compressive strength (N/mm2)
shuttering. Care should be taken to avoid air 1 Day 3 Days 7 Days 28 Days
bubbles getting trapped in concrete.
Placing: The mixed material shall be placed 35 60 75 80
within 20 – 25 minutes of mixing.
Fresh density:
Curing: Curing should be done by wetting or Fluid Consistency – approx 1900 kg/m3
ponding with water for minimum 7 days. Mortar Consistency– approx 2200 kg/m3
Cera Polycure R or W can be used for curing
purpose. Protection against drying winds and PACKING
