Q: How do I mix and apply Ascocrete MC (20-40-60) for the best results?
A: Mix Ascocrete MC using either a mechanical mixer or by hand with 3.5-4.0 litres of water per 20 kg bag until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved. Pour or pump the mixture into the prepared area, ensuring placement within a 30-40 minute pot life for optimal performance.
Q: What are the main structural benefits of using Ascocrete MC (20-40-60)?
A: Ascocrete MC delivers compressive strength above 60 MPa, high flexural and tensile strength, and excellent adhesion to both old and new concrete. Its non-shrink, free-flow, high-performance blend resists drying shrinkage and supports heavy structural loads after curing.
Q: Where is Ascocrete MC most suitable for application?
A: It is ideal for columns, beams, slabs, bridges, industrial floors, and general structural repairs-especially where high strength, durability, and non-corrosive, chloride-free properties are critical.
Q: What is the typical setting time for Ascocrete MC?
A: The initial setting time ranges between 4-6 hours, while the final setting time occurs within 8-10 hours, facilitating efficient project timelines and early reopening of repaired structures.
Q: How is Ascocrete MC supplied and what are the available bag sizes?
A: Ascocrete MC is supplied in premixed powder form, available in 20 kg, 40 kg, and 60 kg bags. It features high flowability for easy placement and can be delivered promptly from our warehouse in India.
Q: What precautions should be taken in storage and usage?
A: Store Ascocrete MC in a cool, dry place away from moisture in unopened packaging to preserve its 12-month shelf life. Use gloves and standard safety equipment during mixing and application for safe handling.
