Contractor Overview

SpecPatch 30 is a polymer-modified concrete repair mortar. General Purpose Polymer-Modified Concrete Repair Mortar SpecPatch 30 is a polymer-modified concrete repair mortar designed for the restoration of concrete floors, walls, precast structures, tilt-up, and masonry surfaces. It is adept for use in both interior and exterior environments and is capable of horizontal and vertical applications, offering a durable repair solution that can be custom shaped by shaving or.

Best For

  • Floors, walls, precast, tilt-up, and masonry repairs
  • Horizontal and vertical patching
  • Interior and exterior repairs
  • Jobs needing featheredge repairs and shaping after set

Key Features

  • Initial set: 30–40 minutes
  • Final set: 60 minutes
  • Featheredge capable and shapeable after set
  • Lifts up to 1 in. thickness, up to 2 in. in small areas
  • 28-day compressive strength: approximately 6,000 psi
  • One-component formula — just add water

Material & Application Notes

Mix 50 lb with approximately 6.75–7.25 pints of water. Use SpecChem Strong Bond Acrylic Bonder neat or diluted 1:1 with water for improved durability, abrasion resistance, and bond strength in thin horizontal repairs subject to heavy traffic. Prepare concrete to sound, clean, SSD condition with a minimum CSP 5 profile.

Why Contractors Choose It

Contractors choose SpecPatch 30 when they need a repair mortar with enough working time to shape and finish the repair while still returning the area to service quickly.

Application

Applications:

  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
  • Applicable for vertical, overhead, and horizontal repairs
  • Ideal for no slump consistency applications
  • Effective repair material for concrete pipes, curbs, sidewalks, and precast concrete

Surface Preparation

  • Cleaning the Surface:Ensure the concrete is sound, and free from oil, grease, dust, laitance, or other contaminants.
  • Saw cut perimeter:Cut the perimeter of the repair area 1/8” deeper than the repair depth to create a notched, reinforced edge.
  • Abrasive Preparation:Mechanically abrade the surface to a minimum Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of 5. Ensure all surfaces are saturated-surface-damp (SSD) with no standing water.
  • Steel Reinforcement Treatment:Clean all exposed steel reinforcement of rust and coat with SpecPrep SB. Apply SpecPrep SB to SSD concrete, and proceed with the repair mortar application wet on wet or within the recommended open time.

Mixing and Application

  • Mixing Procedure:Mix 6.75 to 7.25 pints of clean water per 50 lb bag of SpecPatch 30.Use a low-speed drill for mixing, starting with water, then gradually adding SpecPatch 30. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes until homogenous.
  • Application Instructions:Trowel SpecPatch 30 firmly into the prepared area ensuring full contact with the bonding surface.Overfill slightly and shape roughly during placement.
  • Shaping:After the initial set, shave the material to the final shape using a steel trowel. For large or deep applications over 3/4″, extend SpecPatch 30 with clean 3/8” SSD pea stone up to 50% by weight and mix for an additional 2 minutes.

Finishing and Curing

  • Finishing:Finish the repair material to match the surrounding concrete texture.
  • Curing:Moist curing is recommended immediately after finishing and should continue for 48 hours. Protect newly applied material from rain, sun, and wind until it reaches 70% of the 28-day strength.

Shelf Life

Unopened bags have a shelf life of 12 months in dry conditions. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
