Monodex ICB is supplied as a ready-mixed paste and needs no substrate or inter-laying priming. It is designed for use in conjunction with Flexcrete’s Monodex anti-carbonation membranes and is capable of bridging existing cracks up to 1mm underneath the coating.
Typical applications include outdoor exposed concrete surfaces with a high risk of cracking, commercial buildings, residential housing, hotels, offices and industrial buildings and fast-track construction or refurbishment projects.
Flexcrete Technologies director Chris Lloyd said: “Several of our customers were seeking an economical product that is able to bridge cracks and fill pores, cavities and blowholes prior to the application of our Monodex coatings. Traditionally reinforcing tape would have been incorporated to bridge cracks in these instances, but Monodex ICB removes the need for any type of reinforcement and it is very quick and easy to apply by trowel, or by roller or spray when diluted with water.”
He added: “One other great advantage of Monodex ICB is that it is rapid-curing and used as part of a 3-coat system in conjunction with our Monodex anti-carbonation coatings. Alternative products require the use of primers and multiple other coats, but Monodex ICB is applied directly to the substrate which makes it an economical and time efficient option. It ensures enhanced performance of the complete Flexcrete system and ensures even greater anti-carbonation protection as Monodex ICB itself has excellent anti-carbonation properties.”
