The Silikal for concrete work, quick repairs and as a bearing grout is called Silikal R 17. This is a two-component mortar based on Methylmethacrylate (MMA). It is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, e.g. for renovating joints, floor surfaces, loading ramps and as a grouting mortar for machine foundations. Silikal R 17 can also be used in deep-freeze rooms, where the product variant Silikal R 17 (-25 °C), which cures at temperatures down to -25 °C, is used. Silikal R 17 is also used in road construction and on traffic areas, e.g. for bridge caps, support beams and the renovation of stairs and edges. Drainage channels can be installed quickly and durably with Silikal R . The reactive resin mortar is also suitable for bonding kerbstones and for post foundations. Silikal R 17 is ideal for use at airports and on railway tracks where renovation work needs to be carried out without disrupting traffic. The reaction resin mortar is also ideally suited for rail bearings, as well as for the special field of bridge bearings.
It owes this wide range of applications to its special properties: The Silikal hardens quickly. It is fully loadable after just one hour. Handling is simple, as only two components are required. Depending on the product variant, it can be processed at temperatures as low as -25 °C. Another characteristic of Silikal R 17 reaction resin mortar is its high compressive strength of approx. 75 N/mm2. It is also liquid-tight, weather-resistant and low-shrinkage.
In addition to the classic Silikal R 17, product variants extend the range of applications: Silikal R 17 fine for work on fine-grained concrete structures, Silikal R 17 (-25 °C) for applications down to -25 °C and Silikal R 17 thix for laying on slopes and inclines, for modeling and for bonding concrete parts.
