BASF Construction Chemicals (UK) Ltd’s extensive range of products for car park repair and refurbishment now includes an exciting new generation of concrete repair mortars with outstanding characteristics – Emaco® Nanocrete. These mortars are proven to exceed all the technical requirements of European Norm EN 1504, guaranteeing performance levels by providing reference to identification and performance tests for a standardized approach to the design and execution of concrete repairs. Emaco® Nanocrete uses Degussa’s applied Nanotechnology to offer improved bond and tensile strengths, densities and impermeability as well as reduced shrinkage and cracking. Better compatibility with concrete and improved thixotropy, nonslumping and finishing properties allow easier, quicker application, reducing application problems and overall costs.

Said Marketing Manager Ian Wilson: “Emaco® Nanocrete improves the quality and density of the nanostructures in the cement paste. This reduces microdefects in the cement systems, and improves the bond between the cement matrix and the aggregate, and the cement mortar with the substrate. The arrival of Emaco® Nanocrete gives specifiers and applicators a clear highperformance choice for patch repairs.”
