Versatile and innovative repair and protection system

In marine environments, structural damage at the waterline level is a common problem. Tidal movements, currents, exposure to salt water, action of chemicals, floating debris, electrolysis and weathering are all examples of factors that negatively affect the life cycle of structures in maritime environments. The FX-70® Structural Repair and Protection System from S&P Clever Reinforcement Company Benelux offers the solution for this: repair instead of replace.

FX-70^® coat
To protect the structure from external influences, the interlocking sheath of high-strength fiberglass forms the basis of the FX-70^® Structural repair and protection system. The sheath, 3 to 5 mm thick, with tongue and groove jointing at the seam, acts as a corrosion-resistant shell around the area to be repaired and is Uv-resistant.

High strength mortar systems
FX-70-6MP™ Multi-purpose epoxy mortar and FX-225 colloidal cementitious mortar are both high-strength repair mortars that are impervious to water. FX-70-6MP™ provides excellent bonding to concrete, steel, wood and other common building materials. These products displace any water present and can be easily incorporated into the FX-70^®-mantle are inserted without costly construction such as cofferdams or dewatering of the repair site. FX-70-6MP™ is ideal for repairs of structures with less than 25% cross-sectional loss and is typically combined with FX-225 to reduce material costs on large projects or to repair structures with more than 25% cross-sectional loss.      

Advantages of FX-70
