Beyem R4 Fluido

BEYEM R4 Fluido is a one-component, low shrinkage and high strength fluid mortar for concrete repair. Formulated with special cements, selected aggregates, organic additives and resins to improve adhesion and mechanical strengths. Fiber-reinforced. Specially suitable for  horizontal concrete repair works.

• Class R4
• Modified polymer mortar (PCC).
• High mechanical strengths.
• High adhesion.
• High flowability. Pumpable.
• Free of chlorides and organic fibers.
• Very low shrinkage behaviour.
• High modulus of elasticity.
• Suitable for pump machines and manual applications.
• Both internal and external use.
• Good carbonation resistance. Low permeability. 

Repairs of concrete in areas that are difficult to access. Structural integrity repair of horizontal concrete elements for direct disposal. Repair and reinforcement (pillars, columns, walls…) using formwork release by increasing the carrying capacity of the structures. Repair of small potholes in floors. Filling cavities, voids, gaps, cracks, and recesses.

Restoration work (Principle 3 , method 3.1 and 3.3 of EN 1504-9 ). Repair of spalling and damaged concrete in buildings, bridges,  infrastructure and superstructure works.

Structural strengthening  (Principle 4 , method 4.4 of EN 1504-9 ). Increasing the bearing capacity of the concrete structure  by adding mortar.

Preserving or restoring passivity (Principle 7, method 7.1 and 7.2 of EN 1504-9). Increasing cover with additional mortar and replacing  contaminated or carbonated.

BEYEM R4 Fluido is suitable for:

• Concrete  ( floors, screeds, formworks) 

Concrete must be free from dust, loose material, surface contamination and materials which reduce  bond or prevent suction or wetting  by repair materials. Steel reinforcements must be free of rust, grease, oil and other adhesion impairing contaminants (Sa21/2 degree). Where necessary, concrete  must be cleaned by sandblasting, high pressure water jetting or other approved mechanical methods that do not cause vibration or impact, to leave a clean and keyed surface. Rusty exposed reinforcement must be cleaned by    metal brushing or sandblasting. Absorbent substrates should be previously wetted until they are saturated, preventing waterlogging, and applying the mortar  once the surface has a matt appearance.

Smooth, slightly absorbent or very damaged substrates should be treated to obtain a surface with minimum guarantees of roughness and tensile strength. Minimum roughness of at least 5 mm. For more information regarding substrate preparation, refer to the recommendations provided in EN 1504-10.

Mix manually of mechanically BEYEM R4 Fluido with  3,0-3,5 l per bag of clean water until a homogeneous, fluid  and  and lump-free consistency is obtained.  

Floor/horizontal repair: Beyem R4 Fluido is normally applied by pouring the product onto the pre-wetted substrate  and assisting it by means of a notched trowel, to attain the  required level. Finishing can be done with the same trowel or float as soon as the mortar has started to stiffen.

Vertical repair/column enlargement: the product can only be used with an appropriate leak-free formwork.

• Do not apply below 5ºC or above 30ºC.
• Do not apply when there is risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
• Do not add water in excess of the recommended dosage .
• Protect the mortar applied of early dehydration, using suitable  curing methods. The curing operation in humid environment is essential for at least 24 hours after application.
• Do not apply on gypsum, metal or wood.
• Mix only sufficient material that can be applied  using available labour and equipment.

BEYEM R4 Fluido is packed 25 kg plastic lined paper bags.

Storage: when stored unopened in a cool dry place, shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.

Tools can be cleaned easily with water before the product hardens. Hardened product can be removed only mechanically.

Regeneration, regularization and repair of concrete structures in horizontal works must be carried out with  one-component, low shrinkage, fiber-reinforced and  high strength fluid mortar for concrete repair compliant with EN 1504-3 – Class R4 and according to Principle 3, method 3.1 and 3.3, Principle 4, method 4.4 and Principle 7 methods 7.1 and 7.2 of the EN 1504-9, such as Beyem R4 Fluido, manufactured by Rodacal Beyem Company. Coverage will be  ≈ 22 kg / m² per cm of thickness.
