Concrete Pavement Repair and Protection
Testing
Various independent tests confirming the suitability of the Addagrip 1000 System Resin for the treatment of damaged concrete pavements have provided the following results:
General description
The Addagrip 1000 System is a concrete repair system that consists of a specific resin and aggregate. The purpose of the aggregate is to increase roughness of the pavement. The system has been developed to treat top layer as well as deep damage and to seal small cracks and spalled surfaces on concrete airfield pavements. Applying the Addagrip 1000 System Resin onto the damaged or spalled surfaces of concrete will prevent further deterioration prolonging the life of the concrete.
Testing
Laboratory tests were performed to determine the hydrophobic and physical properties of the system using 10 x 10 x 10cm blocks of B35 Concrete.

Freeze resistance
Freeze and de-icer tests have been made, the tests over 200 cycles of freezing and defrosting of the 10 x 10 x 10cm cubes treated in the system provided the following results:
During the tests the top layer condition and any increase of absorption was checked.
Strength reduction after freeze resistance cycle completed – 11.2%
Mass decrement of samples – not evident
De-icer resistance – Good
Absorption of samples after freeze resistance test – 0.45%
Adherence to the concrete
Tear of resistance tests were carried out using a SP-1 Hydraulic Device, results as follows:-
Mean value 2.7Mpa
Minimum value 1.9Mpa
The tear off occurred in the concrete layer.
High temperature resistance
Temperature resistance checking of the hydrophobic agent consisted of 20 test cycles. In each cycle the samples covered in the system were dried in temperatures of 110 °C and then checked for absorption in water at a temperature of 18 °C – 20 °C.
No macroscopic changes and mass losses have been evident during the test.
Capability of applying line marking paints on to treated areas
Application of chlorinated rubber paint, acrylic paint and epoxy paints have proofed easy and successful.
