Why Use Drizoro Maxrite 700 for Concrete Repairs?
17 Reasons Why Drizoro Maxrite 700 is right for concrete repairs
- Contains Corrosion inhibitors which prevent corrosion by chlorides and aggressive corroding agents, extending considerably the service life of the structure.
- Maxrite 700 open setting time (pot life) of 60 minutes which allows the quick completion of the repair of large surfaces.
- Good chemical resistance in aggressive environmental ambient due to its microsilica content.
- Waterproof.
- Withstands freeze/thaw cycles.
- Offers high resistance to carbonation penetration.
- High adhesion to concrete and reinforcements.
- Does not require special primers.
- The transmitted Loads onto the repaired structure.
- High impact and mechanical strength.
- Long-lasting repairs.
- Good thixotropy.
- Application in successive layers without slump or the need to use formwork. Drizoro Maxrite 700 repair mortar consistency means you can apply layers between 5 and 50 mm. thick.
- Allows high thickness per layer.
- Easy workability and application. Repair damaged concrete can be completed by spray with the use of the wet-method.
- Single component mortar. Only requires water for mixing and it is odourless,
- Suitable for poorly ventilated areas such as tanks.
Why Use Drizoro Maxrite 700 for Concrete Repairs?
This product is the ultimate of concrete repair mortars. Maxrite protects the steel reinforcement in concrete by a number of mechanisms.
- Contains corrosion inhibitor
- Waterproof – resists carbonation
- Highly alkaline helping to restore the natural alkalinity of the masonry substrate
That 3 layers minimum without adding and corrosion protective paint like Drizoro Maxrest Passive -steel corrosion protection.

The table below shows a couple of the most important differences
| Drizoro Maxrest | Drizoro Maxrite 700 |
| The 15-minute quick set non-shrink mortar which is great for many uses | longer 60-minute pot-life is excellent for many concrete repairs. |
| High Alkalinity – only to prevent corrosion | Corrosion inhibitors and high alkalinity which prevent corrosion |
| Not waterproof but usually sealed with a Maxseal membrane | Waterproof in it self -Decorative finish adds another layer of protection |
Ref: Wikipedia
Ferrocement or ferro-cement is a system of construction using reinforced mortar or plaster (lime or cement, sand, and water) applied over an “armature” of metal mesh, woven, expanded metal, or metal-fibers, (Drizoro Maxrite is strengthened with glass fibres making it a great for a concrete repair) and closely spaced thin steel rods such as rebar. The metal commonly used is iron or some type of steel, and the mesh is made with wire with a diameter between 0.5 mm and 1 mm. The cement is typically a very rich mix of sand and cement in a 3:1 ratio; when used for making boards, no gravel is used, so that the material is not concrete.
