MasterCrete CI 5488

​​​​​Cementitious Structural Repair Mortar with Shrinkage Compensation and Active Corrosion Inhibitor

How Does MasterCrete CI 5488 Work?

MasterCrete CI 5488 is a ready-to-use, high-strength repair mortar containing an active corrosion inhibitor. When mixed with water, it produces a rheoplastic, non-segregating, thixotropic mortar with excellent bond to both steel reinforcement and concrete substrates.
MasterCrete CI 5488 is fiber-reinforced with synthetic fibers, contains no metallic aggregates, and is chloride free.

MasterCrete CI 5488 is tested and classified as an R4 structural repair mortar in accordance with EN 1504-3 and is approved for use in contact with potable water applications in accordance with AS/NZS 4020:2018.

MasterCrete CI 5488 is suitable for structural repairs requiring mortar layers up to 40 mm thickness, including:

• Vertical, overhead and horizontal concrete repairs.

• Repair of damaged or deteriorated concrete members
  Repairs to elements subjected to repetitive or dynamic loading.

• Structural members such as reinforced or prestressed beams (normal or eccentric stress).

• Repair of concrete exposed to aggressive environments (sulphates, sulfides, chlorides, etc).

• Maintenance and repair works in marine, port and tidal structures.

• Industrial environments where mineral oils and lubricants are present.

• Potable water tanks and water-retaining structures

What Are the Unique Features of MasterCrete CI 5488?

MasterCrete CI 5488 is a ready-to-use powder that merely has to be mixed with water to yield an easily workable, shrinkage compensating repair mortar. It is resistant to aggressive environmental elements such as seawater, carbon dioxide, air pollution etc.

What Are the Benefits of MasterCrete CI 5488?

• Excellent adhesion – forms a permanent bond to prepared concrete substrates.

• High durability – low permeability and resistant to aggressive environmental exposure..

• Shrinkage-compensated in both plastic and hardened stages

• Easy to apply – can be trowelled or spray-applied on vertical, overhead and horizontal surfaces.

• R4 classification – tested and certified to EN1504-3 requirement.

• Exceptional carbonation resistant- every1mm equivalent to roughly 140 mm of concrete.

• AS/NZS 4020:2018 compliant (maximum exposure level) – suitable for potable water contact.
