MEADOW-CRETE® FNP EXTENDED

One-Component, Pre-Extended, Flowable, Form & Pour Structural Repair Mortar

DESCRIPTION
MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED is a one-component, pre-extended, shrinkage-compensated repair mortar for structural repairs and reinstatement of concrete elements. The product can be formed and poured or formed and pumped, utilizing a suitable concrete pump. MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED contains 3/8” nominal size aggregate and is suitable for applications requiring cathodic protection, impressed systems, or sacrificial anode applications.

USES
MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED is ideal for reinstatement or repair of beams, columns, and balcony edges or for partial or full depth horizontal placement. The product is suitable for industrial, transportation, residential, and civil engineering applications.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
  • Can be poured or pumped.
  • Low permeability/Protects embedded reinforcing steel.
  • Suitable for cathodic protection systems.
  • Shrinkage compensated/Added dynamic stability.
  • Highly engineered/Non-segregating.
  • No added slag, chlorides, or microsilica.

PACKAGING AND YIELD
Seventy lb. (31.8 kg) bag yields 0.58 ft.³ (0.016 m³)

Yields listed above are based on seven pints (3.3 L) of water per bag and will vary based on substrate profile, aggregate, variations in mix water amounts and waste. Field trials should be performed to determine yields based on jobsite conditions.

SHELF LIFE (TYPICAL)
12 months when stored on pallets in a dry, cool area.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
  • MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED is recommended for concrete repairs only.
  • Do not use as an underlayment, topping, or overlay.
  • Do not apply below 40° F (4° C) or when rain is imminent.
  • Protect from freezing for a minimum of 48 hours.
  • Do not bridge moving cracks. Extend existing control and expansion joints through MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED.
  • Do not add any admixtures.
  • Exceeding liquid requirements shall result in reduced physical properties
  • Realize that set time will decrease as the product, air, substrate, and mixing liquid temperature increases and will increase as the temperature decreases.
  • Repair areas should be saw cut and slightly undercut to a minimum depth of a 3/4” (19 mm). Do not featheredge.
  • Protect from conditions that may cause early water loss: wind, low humidity, high temperature, direct sunlight. Early water loss is exasperated in thin applications.
  • Failure to follow ACI concreting and industry standard practices will result in decreased material performance. Proper application is the responsibility of the user. Field visits by W. R. MEADOWS personnel are for the purpose of making technical recommendations only, and are not to supervise or provide quality control on the jobsite.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Perform surface preparation in accordance with ICRI Technical Guidelines #310.2-1997: Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatings, and Polymer Overlays. Mechanically roughen or high pressure water-jet the existing concrete substrate to a minimum concrete surface profile (CSP) of CSP-7 or higher, depending on substrate condition. Remove all unsound concrete and provide a profiled, porous surface. The substrate must be structurally sound, dust-free, and free of grease, oil, dirt, curing compounds, release agents, or any other surface or penetrated contaminants that will adversely affect bond. Sanding, grinding, or wire-brushing are not approved surface preparation methods. Saw cut perimeter of repair zone to a depth of 3/4" (19 mm). Completely expose all reinforcing steel, ensuring a minimum clearance of 1” (2.54 cm) behind reinforcing steel. Perform reinforcing steel preparation in accordance with ICRI Technical Guidelines #03730. Pre-soak repair zone for a minimum four hours prior to application of MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED. Substrate must be saturated, surface dry (SSD) and free of standing water.

Mixing … Mix only complete bags. Using a mortar- or concrete-type mixer designed for products containing a coarse aggregate, pour six pints (2.83 L) water per bag. Slowly add MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED while mixing. Adjust mix consistency using up to one pint (0.47 L) additional water. Mix for 3- 5 minutes or until homogenous and lump-free. Do not over mix. Do not retemper.

Forming...Support formwork as to ensure a tight seal with repair zone. Consult professional engineer regarding structural support and shoring requirements. Formwork should be rigid, structurally stable, sealed, and coated with a suitable release agent, such as DUOGARD® from W. R. MEADOWS. Forming should be accomplished in accordance with ACI 347-88. Proper vent and drainage ports should be installed as required to ensure no entrapment of air voids.

Placement … Pour or pump properly mixed product immediately following mixing to ensure adequate flow. Pumping should be accomplished in accordance with ACI 304-R-85. Do not re-temper or over-work product. Follow ACI 305-R89: Standard on Hot Weather Concreting or ACI 306-R88: Standard on Cold Weather Concreting when applicable. In large applications [greater than 8” (20.3 cm) in depth], follow pertinent ACI recommendations for concrete placement.

Curing … Cure in accordance with ACI 308. Cure MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXTENDED immediately following removal of forms prior to a seven-day cure time using a curing compound such as 1100-CLEAR or 2200-WHITE from W. R. MEADOWS. Curing compounds may discolor and may require complete removal prior to topcoating, painting, sealing, waterproofing, or similar application.

PRECAUTIONS
