Material & Application Notes
Prepare concrete by removing unsound material and contaminants. Follow SSD substrate practices and place according to repair geometry and exposure conditions.
Why Contractors Choose It
Contractors choose RepCon 928 when downtime matters and the repair needs strength, durability, and specification confidence for traffic-bearing concrete.

Application
Surface Preparation
- Clean the Surface:Ensure the concrete is sound, free from oil, grease, dust, laitance, or contaminants. Saw cut the perimeter of the repair area 1/8” deeper than the repair depth for a notched edge, enhancing durability.
- Abrade the Surface:Mechanically abrade to a minimum Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of 5, following ICRI 310.2 guidelines, ensuring a saturated-surface-damp (SSD) condition without standing water.
- Steel Reinforcement:Clean exposed steel of rust and apply SpecPrep SB. Apply a spray or brush coat of SpecPrep SB to SSD concrete and proceed with the repair mortar application wet on wet or within the open time specified in the SpecPrep SB datasheet.
Mixing and Application
- Mixing Instructions:Use 4.75 to 5.0 pints (up to 5.25 pints for non-DOT, more flowable applications) of clean water per 50-pound bag. Mix with a low-speed drill or mortar mixer, adding water to the container first, then gradually the RepCon® 928 powder. Mix for 2-3 minutes until homogenous.
- Application Depth:Apply from 1” to 2” without aggregate extension. For deeper repairs in heavy traffic areas, extend with clean, SSD 3/8” aggregate up to 60% by weight for over 1” repairs or up to 100% for over 4” repairs, mixing for an additional 2 minutes. Pre-dampen the aggregate and adjust the mixing water accordingly.
Placement
Firmly trowel or screed RepCon® 928 into the area, ensuring full contact with the surface. Allow initial set before finishing with a hand trowel. Excessive troweling isn’t required.
Finishing and Curing
Match the texture with surrounding concrete without adding water during finishing. Use SpecFilm as a finishing aid if needed. In DOT applications or severe conditions, use an ASTM C309 compliant SpecChem curing compound.
Packaging
Available in 50 lb bags or 3,000 lb SuperSacks, offering approximately 20 sq-ft coverage at 1/4 inch per 50 lbs.
