• Proper application is the responsibility of the user. Field visits by Sika personnel are for the purpose of making technical recommendations only and not for supervising or providing quality control on the jobsite.

Concrete

1. Concrete must be structurally sound and fully cured (28 days).
2. Saw cut the perimeter of the area to be repaired into a square with a minimum depth of 13 mm (1/2 in).
3. Refer to current ICRI Guideline no. 310.2R for surface preparation requirements to permit proper bond.

Reinforcing Steel

1. Remove all oxidation and scale from the exposed reinforcing steel in accordance with ICRI Technical Guideline No. 310.1R.
2. For additional protection from future corrosion, coat the prepared reinforcing steel with Sikagard® P-8100 AP.

1. Precondition material to 21 °C (±3°) [70 °F (±5°)]  before mixing.
2. Add 2.6 L (0.68 US gal.) of potable water to the mixing container for each bag of SikaEmaco®-1060. If required, add the correct amount of aggregate to the mixer. Add the powder to the water while continuously mixing with a slow-speed drill and paddle, mortar mixer, or other forced action mixer.
3. Mix for a minimum of three (3) minutes until the mix has reached an homogeneous consistency.

Aggregate Extension

Up to 22.6 kg (50 lb) of 10 mm (⅜ in) washed, graded, rounded, SSD, low-absorption, high-density aggregate can be added per 22.6 kg (50 lb) bag. 

Note: Aggregate must comply with ASTM C33 requirements.

1. After removing all standing water, thoroughly scrub a thin layer of bond coat into the saturated surface with a stiff-bristled broom or brush. Do not dilute the bond coat with water. Do not apply more of this bond coat than can be covered with mortar before the bond coat dries. Do not retemper the bond coat.
2. Immediately place the repair mortar from one side of the prepared area to the other. Work the material firmly into the bottom and sides of the patch to ensure a good bond. Level the SikaEmaco®-1060 and screed it to the elevation of the existing concrete. Apply the appropriate finish.
3. Finish the completed repair, as required, taking care not to overwork the surface.
4. The recommended application range of SikaEmaco®-1060 is from 4 °C to 29 °C (40 °F to 85 °F). Follow ACI 305 and 306 for hot or cold weather concreting.
5. A maximum of 15 minutes should be allowed to mix, place, and finish SikaEmaco®-1060 at 21 °C (70 °F) .

Cure with an approved curing compound compliant with ASTM C309 or preferably ASTM C1315. Alternative curing options include the application of a fine mist of water, wet burlap, or polyethylene sheeting for a minimum of two (2) days.

Clean tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Once hardened, the material can only be removed mechanically.
