Quantity Needed

SikaEmaco®-488 CI is a one-component, shrinkage-compensated, fiber-reinforced repair mortar formulated for spray or hand-trowel application in vertical and overhead structural repairs. Engineered with an integral corrosion inhibitor, it protects reinforcing steel while offering high compressive, flexural, and bond strength for long-term durability.

This high-performance repair mortar is designed for severe service environments, such as marine structures, wastewater treatment plants, bridges, tunnels, and industrial facilities. With low chloride permeability, freeze/thaw resistance, and sulfate durability, SikaEmaco®-488 CI ensures exceptional protection against environmental deterioration.
