Nitomortar®HB

Concrete damage on vertical and overhead surfaces

The Nitomortar®HB material has a lightweight composition, which gives it good thixotropy ("stickiness") and makes it ideal for restoring damaged concrete on ceilings and walls, as this property prevents the material from crumbling under its own weight. Vertical surfaces are often exposed to rain and snow. Water fills the pores of the concrete, causing it to deteriorate and crumble. During low temperatures, the water that enters the pores freezes and expands even more, which inevitably leads to destruction. Additionally, the influence of carbon dioxide, chlorides, and chemicals also causes the expansion of pores due to rust formation, leading to the crumbling of the surface layer of concrete. Nitomortar®HB has high resistance to chemicals and carbon dioxide, and with proper compaction, it exhibits low permeability, which is important for protection against damage due to water entering the pores of the concrete. Thanks to these qualities and the lightweight filler in the material, Nitomortar®HB will be a successful choice for restoring vertical surfaces in industrial, infrastructural, and hydraulic facilities.
