    Where to use ROOFCRETE AR 576: polymer mortar for concrete repair from 6–100 mm

    ROOFCRETE AR 576 is a polymer mortar for concrete repair, used for vertical and horizontal structural reinstatement from 6–100 mm. The milky white liquid is mixed with water and a powder bag, then blended with a slow-speed drill to a smooth, lump-free mix. This high build repair mortar is applied over an active, tacky bond coat and compacted firmly.

    • Structural Repair Mortar (Site-Batched)

      Mixed on site with water and powder for 3–4 minutes.

    • Terrace Waterproofing Screeds

      Laid as a polymer-modified screed with 0.40% water absorption.

    • Column & Beam Rehabilitation

      Rebuilds sections within the 6–100 mm layer range.

    • Chajja & Balcony Restoration

      Compacted and finished to the required profile on a tacky bond coat.

    • Masonry Wall Waterproofing

      Polymer-modified mortar layer applied over masonry walls.

    • Bond Coats for Overlays

      Listed for bond coat use ahead of overlays.

    The repair mortar mix ratio is 2 litres of ROOFCRETE AR liquid with 4.5–5.5 litres of water per 25 kg powder bag. Strength is 13 N/mm² at 1 day and 48 N/mm² at 28 days, with 9 N/mm² flexural strength. Chloride diffusion and carbonation are NIL, so it serves as an anti carbonation repair mortar. Standards listed are BS 4551 Part 14:1980 and BS 1881:1970. Apply over a tacky bond coat of ROOFBOND SBR or ROOFBOND EP and moisture-cure for a minimum of 7 days.

    Armstrong Chemicals supplies ROOFCRETE AR 576 to sites across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Kochi and Chennai.

    Why ROOFCRETE AR 576 works

    • High-build layers

      A layer range of 6–100 mm lets you rebuild both shallow and deep repairs with the same mortar.

    • Early and final strength

      It develops 13 N/mm² at 1 day and 48 N/mm² at 28 days, so the repair gains strength early.

    • NIL chloride and carbonation

      NIL chloride diffusion and NIL carbonation make it safe for reinforced concrete structural work.

    Plain Cement Repairs Shrink & Crack

    Site-batch cement mortar without polymer modification suffers plastic shrinkage, poor bond to old concrete and brittle failure — the repair rings hollow within months.

    The AR 576 Advantage

    Add 500ml–2 L per 50 kg cement — dosage matched to repair depth. Get 48 N/mm² structural performance from a site-batch mix, at admixture-tier cost. Add aggregates for mass concrete.

    Site-Flexible Structural Repair

    48 N/mm² @ 28 Days

    13 N/mm² @ 1 day; 48 N/mm² compressive and 9 N/mm² flexural at 28 days — same polymer chemistry, same structural performance as ROOFCRETE AR.

    Variable Dosage — Site Adjustable

    500ml–2L per 50 kg cement: lower for routine repairs, higher for structural rehabilitation. Also used as polymer concrete admixture with aggregates.

    NIL Chloride · NIL Carbonation

    NIL chloride ion diffusion, NIL carbonation and 0.40% water absorption (BS 1881:1970) — safe for reinforced and prestressed concrete.

    2-Year Shelf Life

    Longest shelf life in the ROOFCRETE AR range — ideal for stocking, procurement and site logistics without expiry pressure.

    Polymer Modifier Admixture

    Structural Repair From Site-Batch Cement.

    Flexible dosage admixture for structural reinstatement mortar and polymer concrete — with the 2-year shelf life of an admixture.

    Structural — 48 N/mm²

    13 N/mm² @ 1 day; 48 N/mm² compressive at 28 days and 9 N/mm² flexural — matches the pre-packed ROOFCRETE AR system.

    500ml – 2L Variable Dose

    Adjust dosage per 50 kg cement to suit repair type: lower for minor works, upper for structural rehabilitation and mass polymer concrete.

    NIL Chloride · 0.40% Absorption

    NIL chloride ion diffusion, NIL carbonation, 0.40% water absorption — reinforcement-safe repair chemistry.

    2-Year Shelf Life

    Longest shelf life across the ROOFCRETE AR range — 210 Ltr drums for large project stocking.

    1

    Prepare a site-batched mortar mix — typical proportion cement : sand 1:3 by weight

    2

    Mix 2 litres of ROOFCRETE AR liquid with 4.5–5.5 litres of water, then add one 25 kg powder bag

    3

    Mix for 3–4 minutes with a slow-speed drill to a smooth, lump-free mortar

    4

    Apply over an active, tacky bond coat of ROOFBOND SBR or ROOFBOND EP

    5

    Compact firmly and finish to the required profile within the 6–100mm layer range

    6

    Moisture-cure for a minimum of 7 days with wet hessian or fine mist spray
