DR. FIXIT PIDICRETE URP

Introduction

When it comes to construction, two key concerns always top the list—durability and waterproofing. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to renovate your bathroom or a contractor aiming for long-term concrete performance, Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP is a name that stands out. This high-performance bonding agent doesn’t just promise protection—it delivers results that stand the test of time.

Features

1. • Excellent Bonding Agent: Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP provides strong adhesion between old and new concrete or plaster surfaces. It enhances the bond strength of repair mortars and coatings, ensuring durability and long-term performance.
2. • Waterproofing Capability: When mixed with cement, it forms a waterproof barrier that protects surfaces from water seepage. Ideal for wet areas like bathrooms, toilets, balconies, and terraces.
3. • Improves Flexibility and Strength: It improves the tensile and flexural properties of cementitious mixes, reducing the risk of shrinkage cracks and structural failures. This leads to more resilient and longer-lasting repairs.
4. • Reduces Permeability: Pidicrete URP significantly reduces the porosity of the surface, preventing the penetration of water and harmful chemicals. This helps in maintaining the integrity of concrete structures.
5. • Increases Durability of Repairs: By enhancing bonding and flexibility, it prolongs the life of repaired areas, especially spalled or damaged concrete. It’s suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications.
6. • Ready-to-Use Liquid: The product comes in a liquid form that is easy to use and mix on-site without any complicated preparation. This ensures convenience and consistent results every time.
7. • Multi-Application Use: Suitable for concrete repair, waterproofing, bonding agent for plaster, and surface coatings. Its versatility makes it an essential product for both construction and renovation projects.
8. • Compatible with Cement-Based Materials: It blends easily with cement and other aggregates, creating a uniform mix that adheres well to surfaces. This compatibility ensures smooth application and strong adhesion.

Step-By-Step Application Method

1. • Step 1: Surface Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, oil, grease, loose particles, and old coatings. Use a wire brush or mechanical tools if needed. Dampen the surface with clean water—but ensure no standing water remains.
2. • Step 2: Mixing for Bonding Slurry Coat: Prepare a slurry by mixing: 1 part Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP + 1 part fresh cement (by weight). Stir thoroughly to achieve a lump-free, brushable consistency.
3. • Step 3: Apply Bonding Coat: Apply the slurry coat with a stiff brush to the prepared damp surface. Ensure complete coverage—especially over joints, cracks, or porous areas. Important: Place new concrete/plaster/mortar over the slurry while it’s still tacky (within 30–40 minutes).
4. • Step 4: Waterproofing Coat (2 or 3 Coats): For waterproofing areas like bathrooms, balconies, or terraces: Mix Pidicrete URP, cement, and fine sand in ratio (typically 1:1:3 by volume). Apply 2–3 coats with a brush, allowing each coat to dry for 6–8 hours. Keep the surface moist for 24–48 hours after final coat.
5. • Step 5: Plaster/Repair Mortar Modification: Add Pidicrete URP to mortar to enhance flexibility and reduce cracking. Recommended mix: 1 part URP + 3–5 parts cement + 10 parts sand. Apply modified mortar/plaster as usual over bonding coat.
6. • Step 6: Curing: After application, keep the treated area moist by water curing for at least 3–5 days. This ensures proper hydration and durability of the repair or coating.

Health & Safety

1. • Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and masks while handling and applying the product to prevent direct contact with skin or eyes.
2. • Avoid Inhalation of Vapors or Dust: If sanding or mixing with cement, ensure good ventilation or use a dust mask to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
3. • Skin Contact: In case of contact with skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid prolonged exposure to prevent skin irritation.
4. • Eye Contact: If the product splashes into the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for several minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
5. • Ingestion: Do not swallow the product. If accidentally ingested, do not induce vomiting—seek immediate medical attention.
6. • Storage & Handling: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and children. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
7. • Disposal: Dispose of any leftover product and packaging under local regulations. Do not pour into drains or water bodies.
