Roadware MICRODOWELING Technology Hybrid Urethane Concrete Repair
Roadware History • Established 1991 in Minnesota • Instrumental in Providing Performance Based High-speed Concrete Repair Products • Corporately Over 50 Years Product Development and Field Application In: • Highway • Industrial • Commercial
Technical Data Summary • Hardness @ 72F 72D • Compressive Strength (w/sand) 4500psi • Elongation: 6% • Tensil Strength 4475psi • Bond Strength, Cal-551 1100psi • Viscosity (at application) 9 cps • V.O.C. (Mixed): 5.5 g/l • Solids: 98% • Cured Color (not exposed to sunlight) Gray

Surface Tension • A measurement of the ability of a liquid to overcome its own internal friction and penetrate into a material like concrete.
Surface Tension • Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ has a surface tension three times less than water.
Viscosity of Concrete Mender (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)
Viscosity of Concrete Mender (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)
Why it Works • Superior Bond Strength • Ease of Application • Shrinkage • Modulus of Elasticity
Superior Bond Strength • Mechanical Interlock with Microstructure of the Substrate • Measured with Scanning Electron Microscope • Concrete Beam Fractured • Realigned with 1/8” Gap • Mender Applied • Specimen Was Sawed to Isolate Small Samples
Why it Works • Superior Bond Strength • Ease of Application • Shrinkage • Modulus of Elasticity
Ease of Application • Viscosity • Related to The Ease of Which Individual Molecules of the Liquid Can Move With Respect to Each Other • Measured As a Function of Time • Brookfield Viscometer
Ease of Application (Time zero = time of ejection from nozzle)
Ease of Application • Concrete Mender Easily Wetted the Surface of Concrete • Mender Is Drawn Into the Concrete Pore Structure by Capillary Tension • Significant Penetration Occurs Within Minutes of Contact.
Why it Works • Superior Bond Strength • Ease of Application • Shrinkage • Modulus of Elasticity
Shrinkage • International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) • Guideline No. 03733 • Shrinkage of 0.05% Is Considered “Low”
Shrinkage • 0.10% Between 1 Hour and 7 Days • 0.05% Between 2 Hours and 7 Days Test Was Completed Without Sand Adding Sand Will Proportionately Reduce Overall Shrinkage
Why it Works • Superior Bond Strength • Ease of Application • Shrinkage • Modulus of Elasticity
Modulus of Elasticity • 3-point Beam Deflection Test • Tested to Fracture • Nearly Linear Load-Deflection Until Fracture • Samples Fractured in a Brittle Manner
Concrete Mender: Summary • High Quality Bond Achieved • Low Viscosity • Low Surface Tension • Shrinkage Is Low
Concrete Mender: Conclusion Repairing Cracks With Concrete Mender Largely Restores the Structural Performance of the Original Concrete

Repairs - Parking Decks Cracks in parking structures and bridge decks can be repaired without destructive cutting and grinding. Only a light scoring with a diamond blade grinder is used to clean out the crack. A wire wheel grinder will work too.
Repairs - Parking Decks Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ is flooded deep into the crack and self-injects into the concrete like water into a sponge.
Repairs - Parking Decks Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ is flooded deep into the crack and self-injects into the concrete like water into a sponge. Silica sand is added to the surface and excess material is wiped away with a trowel or even a piece of cardboard. The brushed finish is retained. The repair is fully traffic ready in 10 minutes.
