Renderoc SP Xtra

constructive solutions

Shrinkage controlled, cementitious repair

mortar, specifically designed for spraying
Uses

Standard compliance

Renderoc SPXtra is suitable for wet or drying and hand

application in a wide variety of repair applications, and is
particularly well suited to vertical and overhead repairs.
Typical applications would include, but not be limited to,
the following:

Renderoc SPXtra repair mortar system complies with the

following international standards:

Mass infill to large areas.

Repair to irregular profiles.

Excellent for repairs to fire-damaged concrete.

Fast track repair programmes, where

application at high volume is required.

Single layer, high build applications.

ASTM C-157-93
DIN 1048 Part 5
BS 1881 part 121

Renderoc SPXtra features Dimensional Stability

Technology - a new materials technology which controls
the rate of drying shrinkage such that, when used
correctly:
i.

The dimensions of the repair remain stable; and thus

ii.

Eliminating failure, due to shrinkage cracking.

This in turn leads to a series of associated benefits:

Test for drying shrinkage

Test for permeability
Test for water absorption

Cost effective - shrinkage control enables repairs to

be completed right first time. Very low rebound is
an additional cost benefit.

Design criteria

Enhanced durability works in tandem with

extremely low permeability to prolong effective
working life.

Compatibility aligns performance closer than ever

before, to that of host concrete.

Dimensional stability Technology is a major step

forward in the general compatibility of repair mortar
systems with the host concrete, and the control of
shrinkage in particular.

User friendly specifically developed to provide an

easy-to-apply product, suitable for local conditions.

Attention to the basic design criteria given below should

ensure that the full benefits of this technology are gained:

Definable performance positive benefits are

easily demonstrated via a single, simple
measurement.

(i) Recommended limits for a single spray application are:

Minimum applied thickness
Overhead sections
Vertical sections
Surface area of a single repair

Description
Renderoc SPXtra is supplied as a ready to use blend of
dry powders, which requires only the addition of clean
water to produce a highly consistent, hand and spray
grade, repair mortar suitable for most structural and load
bearing repairs.

Note: The restricting factor on surface area will be the

practically of maintaining a continuous application.

Precautions

In situations where a substrate/repair barrier is

required, or enhanced bond strength/working time is
required, or where the substrate is likely to be damp
(e.g. seawalls, quays etc.), Nitobond EP epoxy
bonding agent should be used.

Health and safety

(iii)

Water addition = Between 3 & 3.6 litres per 20 kg bag.

Renderoc SPXtra contains cement powders which, when

mixed with water or upon becoming damp, release alkalis
which can be harmful to the skin.

(iv)

For pumpable concrete applications water addition can

be increased up to a maximum of 5 litres, such
additions will have a minor effect of surface dusting
that can be washed off after material curing.

During use, avoid inhalation of the dust and contact with the
skin or eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing eye
protection, gloves and respiratory equipment (particularly in
confined spaces).

Under no circumstances should part bags be used or

additional water is employed. Either of these two actions
will adversely affect material performance, automatically
invalidating Fosrocs standard product guarantee.

The use of barrier creams to provide additional skin

protection is also advised. In case of contact with the skin,
rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse thoroughly
with soap and water.

Instruction for use

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty

of clean water and seek medical attention immediately do
not induce vomiting.

Renderoc SPXtra should be mixed and applied in strict

accordance with the Product Method Statement, a copy of
which may be obtained from your nearest Fosroc office.

Fire

Estimating

Renderoc SPXtra is non-flammable and thus presents no

fire hazard.
