Renderoc CS

Controlled Shrinkage Cementitious Repair Mortar for Large-Area Concrete Restoration

Authorized Project Distributor — Fosroc India | Space Arc Engineering, Ghaziabad

Product Overview

Renderoc CS is a controlled shrinkage, polymer-modified, single-component cementitious repair mortar from Fosroc designed for large-area concrete resurfacing, restoration, and thick layer repair where the control of drying shrinkage cracking is a primary performance requirement. Cementitious repair mortars, like concrete, undergo a degree of drying shrinkage as they lose water to evaporation after placement. In large pours or thick sections of repair mortar, this shrinkage can generate internal tensile stresses that, if they exceed the tensile strength of the mortar at that age, result in cracking. The controlled shrinkage formulation of Renderoc CS uses a combination of polymer modification, optimised aggregate grading, and shrinkage-compensating additives to reduce and control the magnitude of drying shrinkage to a level where cracking risk is minimised even in larger application areas and thicknesses. This makes Renderoc CS particularly suited to large-scale concrete restoration projects on bridge decks, industrial floors, car park slabs, and building structure members where the repaired area may be tens or hundreds of square metres, making shrinkage cracking both likely (due to area and restraint) and unacceptable (due to durability and aesthetics). The single-component dry powder format (just add water) ensures consistent mix quality across large volumes of material on a construction site. Space Arc Engineering distributes Renderoc CS for bridge, infrastructure, and industrial concrete restoration projects across Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, and Northern India.

Applications

  • Large-area resurfacing of deteriorated bridge decks and car park slabs
  • Wide-area industrial floor concrete restoration and levelling overlay

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is shrinkage control so important in large-area concrete repair and resurfacing?

When a repair mortar is applied over a large area and bonds to the existing concrete substrate, the drying shrinkage of the mortar is restrained by the bond to the substrate and by internal friction between the repair material and the surrounding concrete. This restraint converts the free shrinkage into tensile stress within the repair mortar. If the tensile stress at any point exceeds the developing tensile strength of the mortar (which is particularly low in the first few days), a crack will form. Cracks in repair mortar are not just unsightly — they allow water, CO2, and chlorides to penetrate directly through the repair to the reinforcing steel, negating the durability benefit of the repair. Renderoc CS controls shrinkage to reduce crack risk in these large restrained areas.

Does Renderoc CS need a primer before application?

Yes. Like all Renderoc repair mortars, Renderoc CS requires a bonding primer applied to the mechanically prepared substrate before placing the mortar. Nitobond EP (two-component epoxy bonding agent) or Nitobond SBR (single-component polymer slurry) are the appropriate primers. The substrate must first be prepared to remove all deteriorated, carbonated, or contaminated concrete by hydrodemolition, scabbling, or grinding. The primed substrate must be at the saturated surface dry condition — not wet — before applying Renderoc CS. Skipping the primer step risks adhesion failure at the repair interface, which is the most common cause of failure in concrete repair work.

How thick can a single layer of Renderoc CS be applied?

Renderoc CS is formulated for thicker applications than fine repair mortars, with a typical maximum layer thickness of 40 to 75 mm per application (confirm the current product data sheet for exact limits). For repairs requiring greater total depth, the mortar can be applied in multiple layers with each layer allowed to reach initial set (typically 3 to 6 hours) before the next layer is applied. In deep repairs, the total system of primer, repair mortar, and protective coating must be selected as a complete Fosroc repair system specification to ensure compatibility of all components and the durability of the overall repair.
