Rock-Tred has two products that are designed to be very easy to use, cure very quickly and exhibit amazing bond strength to the repaired area.
RQP - Rock Quick Patch
RQP-Rock Quick Patch is a 100% solids, non-shrinking repair paste. This product can be applied using a 300 ml x 300 ml caulk gun in the RQP-TS tube set, or can be used by applying with a taping knife from the 32 ounce or 2 gallon kit set.
Some Product Highlights to Note:
Non-Shrinking formula, so cracks and repairs once filled stay filled. This is great for “sinkers” that occur when using traditional 100% solids epoxy.
Can be feathered to zero, so no additional grinding is required.
15 minutes of working time, and will usually be fully cured within 45-60 minutes.
Has a very high “hardness” rating (Shore D-85).
ROCK-MENDER
Rock-Mender is a 100% solids “ultra-fast” curing polyurea. Like the RQP featured above, this product is easily placed using a 300 ml x 300 ml dual component caulk gun or can be conventionally mixed and placed out of our 2 or 10 gallon sets.
Some Product Highlights to Note:
Very low viscosity allows a tenacious bond to sides of concrete repairs virtually welding the slab back together.
When used with silica or quartz sand makes a high compressive strength Polymer Concrete.
Can be field tinted using select ROCK-TRED Universal Colorants and then polished when fully cured (add concrete dust from your vacuum at the time of mix) to make almost perfectly matched patches and crack repairs.
The term 100% Solids relates to the volume solids calculation. In the most basic explanation, paints/coatings contain solids and a vehicle. The vehicle has traditionally been a blend of resin and solvents or co-solvents. The vehicle is the solution which helps the wet film to be placed and cure properly or as designed. When a paint or coating is applied it is measured in WFT (wet film thickness). A dried paint or coating is measured in DFT or dry film thickness. If a coating is 90% solids by volume and is placed at 10 mils WFT it will dry to a DFT of 9 mils. This is because it loses 10% of its content to evaporation. If a 100% solids coating is placed at 10 mils WFT it will have a DFT of 10 mils. This is because all of the placed product remains as a part of the cured film. There often is confusion between a paint/coating that has zero VOC’s and one that is 100% solids. This is because certain solvents are designated by the EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity. As a result a product may be listed as zero VOC but that does not mean it is necessarily 100% solids.
