MAPEGROUT T40: Medium-Strength, Fiber-Reinforced Thixotropic Concrete Repair Mortar
What is MAPEGROUT T40?
MAPEGROUT T40 is a cement-based, fiber-reinforced, and thixotropic concrete repair mortar developed for reliable and efficient concrete restoration applications. With a compressive strength of approximately 40 MPa, it is particularly suitable for repairs on vertical and overhead surfaces.
Its non-sagging consistency allows easy application on walls, ceilings, and other difficult surfaces. The fiber reinforcement helps reduce plastic shrinkage cracking and contributes to maintaining the integrity of the repaired surface. Offering a balance of performance, durability, and ease of application, MAPEGROUT T40 is an ideal solution for general-purpose concrete repair projects.

Application Instructions
Before application, the substrate must be completely free from loose particles, dust, oil, and other contaminants that may affect adhesion. The surface should be damp but without standing water.
Mix the product with the recommended amount of clean water specified in the technical data sheet using a low-speed mixer until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. Apply the prepared mortar with a steel trowel. Allow adequate curing time between layers and protect the repaired surface from rapid moisture loss after application.
