- Uses
Transpatch EXT is ideal for a wide variety of concrete repairs:
- Highways
- Bridge decks
- Pavements
- Airport runways
- Warehouse floors
- Industrial plants
- Vertical form and cast-in-place flatwork
- Application
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces in contact with Transpatch EXT shall be free of dirt, oil, grease, laitance and other contaminants that may act as bondbreakers. All unsound concrete should be removed to ensure a good bond. Saw cut the perimeter of the area being patched into a square with a minimum depth of 1/2”. Smooth, dense surfaces need to be mechanically abraded to provide necessary bonding requirements. Mechanically prepare the substrate to a minimum CSP 5 following ICRI Guideline 310.2R to allow proper bonding. ACI recommends the area to be patched should be saturated for 24 hours before placement. Remove any standing water. Surface should be saturated surface dry (SSD). For best results, scrub some of the mixed components into the prepared surface. Do not allow scrub coat to fully dry before placement. Always apply a test patch. Maintain contact areas between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C) prior to repair and during initial curing period.
Application Thickness:
Featheredge - 3”, up to 8” extended.
Coverage/Yield:
50 lbs (22.7 kg) will fill approximately 0.43 ft³ (0.012 m³) when 4.0 quarts mixing water is used.
Mixing:
For best results, use a mechanical mixer with rotating blades or use a heavy duty 1/2” (15 mm) (or larger) low-speed, corded drill and mixing paddle #6 per ICRI Technical Guideline 320.5. Pre-wet mixer and empty excess water. Place 4.0 quarts of cool, clean potable water per 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag in mixer, then add dry material. Mix on low RPM for a total of 3 to 5 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Mix only enough material that can be placed within working time. For placements greater than 3” depth, Transpatch EXT must be extended 30% by weight of powder, with clean, washed and dried 3/8” (1cm) pea gravel. Do not blend excess water as this will cause bleeding and segregation. Do not use any other admixtures or additives.
Placing:
Transpatch EXT should be placed upon completion of mixing. Place material consistently, avoiding any air entrapment. Pour material into prepared sawcut area, ensuring that all pores and voids are filled. Force material against edge of repair, working away from center. Screed or float to the level of the surrounding concrete, then trowel, brush or broom to the desired finish.
Finishing and Curing:
Follow standard ACI curing practices. Exposed surfaces should be cured with a membrane forming compound such as US SPEC Maxcure Resin Clear, US SPEC Hydrasheen or US SPEC Hydrasheen 30%.
Properties
- Physical Properties
All physical property testing performed in laboratory conditions of 73.5 ± 3.5°F (23 ± 2°C) and a relative humidity no less than 50% unless otherwise determined by the test method or specification. All results represent Transpatch EXT with 4.0 quarts water unless listed otherwise. Tests are conducted under standardized conditions for comparative purposes, and results may not be representative of performance under field conditions.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Standards
Transpatch EXT meets and exceeds the requirements of ASTM C928 R2.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Limitations
Do not apply when surface or ambient temperature is below 40°F (4°C) or expected to fall below 40°F (4°C) within 48 hours. Do not apply over surfaces that are frozen or contain frost. Do not apply over any active faults or cracks in the substrate without addressing any movement that may occur. Allow concrete to fully cure for 28 days before use of this product. Setting time will speed up in hot weather and slow in cold weather.
