Renderoc LAXtra is suitable for mass infill to structural repairs (BS 6319 Pt.7)
in all types of load bearing situation. Typical applications would Compressive strength : > 35 N/mm2 at 3 days
include, but not be limited to, the following : (BS 1881 Pt.1161) > 45 N/mm2 at 7 days
 Repairs to columns suffering from major loss of section > 55 N/mm2 at 28 days
Water absorption : < 2%
 Soffit repairs where heavy load bearing is required (BS 1881 Pt. 122)
 Repairs to restricted access areas, where use of hand ap- Note1: 100mm cubes, air cured @ 20°C

Design criteria
 Repairs requiring high fluidity e.g. heavily congested steel
or repairs into re-entrant angles/concealed voids Dimensional Stability Technology is a major step forward in the
general compatibility of repair mortar systems with the host
 Any repairs requiring significant levels of loadbearing concrete, and the control of shrinkage in particular.
