BluCem HB Range CONCRETE REPAIR AND SHOTCRETE PRODUCTS

WHAT IS IT?The BluCem Range of spray and trowel applied mortars are designed for ground support and reinstatement of concrete structures in difficult application and service environments.

3 BluCem HB Range

BluCem HB Range PRODUCT INFORMATION

BluCem HB Range comprises of one component powder blends containing either Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) blends which require only the addition of water to form spray or trowel applied mortars.WHERE DO WE USE BLUCEM HB RANGE?

Our products in this range are suitable for both old and new structures with special blends providing ultra low permeability and resistance in environments containing acid gasses, chloride ions or aggressive chemicals. Marine environments and tidal zones.

WHY BLUCEM HB RANGE?

Fast setting and rapid strength gain.

Sprayable, low rebound, low dust emissions.

Polymer modified to provide extremely low permeability.

Formulations containing CSA cements provide very low shrinkage with high chloride and sulphate resistance.

BluCem HB Range PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Bluey recognised that there was a need in the industry for a system of highly advanced shotcrete products but also a range which was practical and easy to manage on site.

PERFORMANCE & ADAPTABILITY

Bluey have put together a simple but effective range of spray and trowelled cementitious mortars which will cover a wide range of applications. The range has been established to cover both architectural finishes and highly aggressive chemical environments. The mortars are all comprised of carefully selected aggregates to suit the application including light weight fillers for overhead work or alternatively specially graded aggregates for high build wall applications.

The BluCem range of spray and trowel applied mortars are designed for ground support and reinstatement of concrete structures in difficult application and service environments.

Our products in this range are suitable for both old and new structures with special blends providing ultra low permeability and resistance in environments containing acid gasses, chloride ions or aggressive chemicals.

BluCem HB Range ONSITE INSTALLATION

CONCRETE PREPARATION

All defective host substrate must be removed prior to application. Defective material includes cracked or structurally weakened surfaces and also chloride contaminated and carbonated concrete.

A concrete corrosion expert must be consulted for critical projects or structural applications. Host concrete must be roughened and aggregate exposed to ensure good bond. High pressure water blasting or mechanical chipping of the surface is recommended for this purpose.

All surfaces must be free of dust, oils and surface contaminants. This may require steam cleaning or high pressure water blasting if site conditions permit.

A perimeter edge of at least 10mm depth must be provided around the area for application. Priming using BluCem AP10 is recommended. Priming by saturation of the surface using water prior to application is also acceptable. Priming with epoxy primers or other products which prevent vapour transmission is not recommended.

STEEL PREPARATION

Following removal of all defective concrete, any partially exposed reinforcing bars shall be fully exposed to a depth of 20mm behind the bar. If the bar has lost more than 20% of its original diameter then it should be replaced and the Structural Engineer must be consulted.

Where the original reinforcement is retained it must be cleaned to a standard surface purity of Sa 2.5 for chloride contaminated concrete and Sa 2.0 for carbonated concrete. This is best achieved by wet blasting or abrasive blasting. If chloride contamination is present then high pressure wet blasting is the only acceptable method of cleaning.

Priming of reinforcement is generally not required. If the steel will be exposed to the atmosphere for several days after cleaning then an acceptable form of priming would be to mix BluCem HB mortar into a slurry using BluCem AP10 and apply a cement rich coating to the steel surface.

MIXING AND APPLICATION

For wet applications, add BluCem HB mortar to potable water in a clean vessel using a high shear mechanical mixer for at least three minutes. Do not mix more material than can be placed in 15 minutes. Add enough water to achieve the desired consistency within the water ratio limits specified in this data sheet.

For dry applications, empty the dry powder directly into the hopper and adjust water and air at the nozzle for suitable consistency. Follow the product data sheet for maximum application thickness guidelines.

BluCem HB Range ONSITE TESTING

ONSITE TESTING

Bluey’s Engineers specialise in on site techniques to ensure that the client, its designers and applicators receive full support during the entire material selection, application and testing process.

Bluey is able to offer training andquality inspections on site either directly or through third party trained specialists accredited by Bluey. For all of our products we are also able to recommend competent applicators who have experience in applying our products.

FOR BLUCEM HB RANGE, BLUEY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM TESTING REGIME:

Concrete evaluation by a Structural Engineer prior to commencement

Concrete testing for carbonation and chloride penetration

Adhesion testing to ensure adequate surface preparation

Compressive tests of site mixed repair mortar

It is important that all detailed drawings are completed and evaluated by a competent professional prior to commencement. The applicator is also required to develop specific work methods and inspection procedures for approval by Bluey prior to commencement. The obligation is on the purchaser of the products to engage Bluey into the onsite processes and utilise our services to ensure a high quality and conforming application.
