SILICO Flow is a dry ready mix cementitious based product formulated for use in repairs/restoration of areas where the concrete is damaged. It can be used were movement is restricted and it is difficult to pour/place conventional concrete in the area to be repair. It is pourable mortar with high flow, dual shrinkage compensated and high strength specially formulated for repairs and restoration of damaged or weakened structural concrete members.
SILICO Flow is ready to use Drymix Flowable Micro-concrete in which only addition of plain water at site is required obtaining a non-shrink free flowing repairs micro-concrete. This product contains performance enhancing additives which provide controlled expansion characteristics in the plastic as well as hardened state, reducing crack formation and minimize water demand.

SILICO Flow micro-concrete can be used for repairing or restoring damaged RCC elements like beams, columns etc. where compaction is not possible and access is restricted this can be used for increasing the RCC column load bearing capacity by method of Jacketing.
It has been formulated and designed for application in medium and large volume repairs/restoration of thickness typically ranging from 5mm to 100mm.This product has to be applied in layers whose thickness generally range from 5mm to 25mm. Greater thickness is also achievable depending on the nature of repair, location and the volume of exposed rebars and the final formulation of the product designed for the customer.
Dense reinforcement area where conventional concreting is very difficult.
For Repairs or Restoration or Rehabilitations or Jacketing of tight/congested RCC Reinforcement.
- Clean the surface and remove loose concrete, dust, oil, paint, grease, waterproof coating etc.
- Expose any corroded steel in repair area and remove all scale and corrosion deposits. Apply Rust Remover for rust free bars.
- For Cathodic Protection, apply Epoxy Zinc Primer over the cleaned re-bars and allow it to dry before pouring of SILICO Flow Micro Concrete.
- Saturate the substrate with water to prevent absorption of water from the mixed material.
- Add around 80% to 85% of the predefined amount of water in the mixing vessel. Start addition of SILICO Flow powder slowly under continuous mixing, preferably in a paddle mixer or a slow speed mixer. Keep mixing for 2 minutes. Add balance quantity of 15%-20% of mixing water and again mix for another 2-3 minutes to form homogeneous, free flowing uniform and lump-free mix. Allow the mix to rest for 2-3 minutes and then remix for a minute or two before applying.
- Shuttering has to be water tight to avoid any material loss and abnormal shrinkage or honeycombing.
- Start the pour immediately and use the material within 20 minutes of mixing. Remove the shuttering preferably after 24-48 hours (depending on weather conditions).
- Cure the repaired concrete for minimum 7 days or use a high quality curing compound for curing.
