Pre-Bagged, Fine Concrete for "Dry Process" Shotcrete
Shotpatch® 12 is a ready to use one pack polymer modified fine concrete specially designed for spray application by the ‘dry-mix’ method. It contains fumed silica, high range water reducing admixtures and carefully graded aggregates. The ingredients are carefully selected to give minimum dust during spraying. They are chosen so as to be classified as ‘non-reactive’ and the system developed to have an alkali content (expressed as Na2O) of less than 3.0kg/m³. Shotpatch® 12 meets the requirements of Department of Transport Specification Series 1700 (1701, 1704 1993 and BD 27/86 Pt. 5).
