  • Perma Crackfill can be used for repairing ceiling cracks and plasters with ease because of its viscosity.

ADVANTAGES

Perma Crackfill replaces costly sealant and putties. It is non-shrink, hence possibility of shrinkage cracks are nonexistent. It has high tensile strength and good adhesion property. The finish achieved is sufficiently smooth. Good resistance to freeze / thaw cycles, carbonation and attack by chlorides. Conventional curing is not required.

COMPOSITION

Perma Crackfill is available in two grades, namely grey and off white to suit the surrounding surface color and texture. The product is a blend of special cements, special additives and selected grades fine aggregates along with alkali resistant glass fibres. The product when mixed with water in the proportion of 3.5 Volume of powder to one volume of water results in a workable paste which can be trowelled to a fine finish.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Preparation:
It is essential that the surface of the concrete to be repaired is sound, clean and uncontaminated. Chase the crack and form a neat “V” shaped groove at least 6mm wide on surface. Damaged plasters can be cut out in more or less square sides. Defective material must be removed carefully using reducing tools, needle guns or sharp tools and chipping hammers. Force must not be applied as it will damage the sound material beneath.

MIXING

Just add water to Perma Crackfill by volume in the ratio of 1 volume of water to 3.5 volumes of powder and mix thoroughly to get an even consistency mortar. In demanding situations Perma Bond PVA can be used to replace water and the same can be used for priming the surfaces before application of Perma Crackfill. Whereas, mixing by trowel is suitable for small mixes, it is recommended that an efficient mechanical mixer be used.

CURING

Start curing after the material has sufficiently hardened for two days and then allow it to dry out slowly (i.e. protect from rapid drying due to wind, sun or excessive heat). Use of Curing Compound is ideal in repairs.

SUBSEQUENT FINISH

Perma Crackfill is suitable for all subsequent decorative finishes and painting. The finish obtained by Perma Crackfill is far smoother than conventional plasters.
