Watco Flexible Joint Repair
- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Flexible Joint Repair is a flexible polyurea mortar for damaged expansion joints in concrete floors. It fills the joint and adjoining broken concrete edges in one operation, helping restore a usable surface where repeated traffic has worn the joint shoulders away.
The grey satin repair combines flexibility with a tough surface for busy floor areas carrying forklifts and trolleys. It is trowelled into the prepared joint and can be used indoors or outside. Choose the repair width and depth carefully so the material fills the damaged profile within the limits in the technical sheet.
Surface Preparation
Rake loose material out of the joint. Remove oil, grease and contamination and leave the sides clean and dry. Mask the surrounding floor if neat edges are required.
Deeper voids can be packed with suitable back-up rod or equivalent packing material. Aim to leave approximately 25mm for the repair. Where filling a joint and adjacent edge damage together, keep the overall repair width to a maximum of 100mm and retain at least 5mm depth.
Technical Data
- Pack size is 2.5L, comprising resin, curing agent and aggregate.
- Composition is a flexible polyurea mortar. Finish is grey satin.
- Application temperature range is 10–30°C.
- Working life is approximately one hour at 20°C.
- At 20°C, allow eight hours for foot traffic and 24 hours for forklifts.
- Guide coverage is 12.5m at 20mm wide × 10mm deep, 2m at 50mm × 25mm, or 1m at 100mm × 25mm.
- Store between 10°C and 30°C.
Directions for Use
Combine the smaller tin with the larger tin and mix thoroughly with a wide-bladed tool. Scrape the sides and base so the liquid components are fully incorporated. Transfer the mixed liquid into the outer bucket and gradually add the aggregate while continuing to mix.
Use the mixed mortar immediately. Trowel firmly into the joint and shape the surface level with the surrounding floor. Wiping the blade with a cloth dampened with white spirit helps the finishing process. If masking tape is used, Watco advises leaving it for about an hour before removal.
Limitations
The minimum repair depth is 5mm. Using back-up material to control a deep joint helps make material consumption more predictable. Use the published joint dimensions when estimating yield and include the full width of damaged edges.
Lower temperatures extend the curing time. Keep forklift traffic off for the stated 24-hour period at 20°C and allow longer in colder conditions. Remove food products during application and curing, and follow the component safety sheets when handling and mixing.
Product FAQs
Can it repair the broken edges as well as the joint?
Yes. It fills the joint and adjacent joint edge damage together. Keep the overall repair width to 100mm maximum and the depth to at least 5mm.
When can forklifts cross the repair?
At 20°C, allow 24 hours for forklifts. Foot traffic can resume after approximately eight hours. Lower temperatures extend these times.
How much will one pack fill?
A 2.5L pack covers approximately 12.5m at 20mm wide and 10mm deep, or 1m at 100mm wide and 25mm deep.
How do I control the depth of a deep joint?
Use suitable back-up rod or similar packing, aiming to leave about 25mm for the repair while observing the minimum 5mm depth.
