Vertical & Overhead - SikaTop®-123 Plus

Two-component, polymer-modified, cementitious, non-sag mortar plus Sika FerroGard® 901 penetrating corrosion inhibitor

SikaTop®-123 Plus is a two-component, polymer-modified, Portland cement-based, fast-setting, non-sag mortar. It is a high performance repair mortar for vertical and overhead surfaces and offers the additional benefit of Sika FerroGard® 901, a penetrating corrosion inhibitor included in its formulation.

• Extremely low shrinkage proven by four industry standard test methods.
• High compressive and flexural strengths.
• Increased freeze/thaw durability and resistance to deicing salts.
• Increased density - improved carbon dioxide resistance (carbonation) without adversely affecting water vapor transmission (not a vapor barrier).
• Enhanced with Sika FerroGard® 901, a penetrating corrosion inhibitor - reduces corrosion even in the adjacent concrete.
• Compatible with coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete - Passes ASTM C 884.

Usage

• On grade, above and below grade on concrete and mortar.
• On vertical and overhead surfaces.
• As a structural repair material for parking structures, industrial plants, walkways, bridges, tunnels, dams and ramps.
• Approved for repairs over cathodic protection systems

Product Information

12 months from date of production if stored properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging

Store dry at 40-95 °F (4-35 °C).

Protect Component ‘B’ from moisture. If damp, discard material

Protect Component ‘A’ from freezing. If frozen, discard.

Application

Application Information

65-75 °F (18-24 °C)

> 45 °F (7 °C)

> 45 °F (7 °C)

20-60 minutes

Note: All times start after adding Component ‘B’ to Component ‘A’ and are highly affected by temperature, relative humidity, substrate temperature, wind, sun and other job site conditions.

Consumption

0.39 ft³ (0.01 m³) per bag

(Coverage figures do not include allowance for surface profile and porosity or material waste)

Application Steps

• Pour Component ‘A’ into mixing container.
• Add Component ‘B’ while mixing continuously.
• Mix mechanically with a low-speed drill (400-600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer.
• Mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3 minutes.
• Manual mixing can be tolerated only for less than a full unit. Thorough mixing and proper proportioning of the two components is necessary.

• SikaTop®-123 Plus must be scrubbed into the substrate, filling all pores and voids.
• Force material against edge of repair, working toward center.
• After filling repair, consolidate, then screed.
• Material may be applied in multiple lifts.

Multiple lifts

• Where multiple lifts are required score top surface of each lift to produce a roughened surface for next lift.
• Allow preceding lift to reach initial set, 30 minutes minimum, before applying fresh material.
• Substrate should be Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) with clean water prior to application. No standing water should remain during application.
• Scrub fresh mortar into preceding lift.
• Allow mortar or concrete to set to desired stiffness, then finish with wood or sponge float for a smooth surface.

• As per ACI recommendations for Portland cement concrete, curing is required.
• Moist cure with wet burlap and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or a water based* compatible curing compound (ASTM C-309).
• Curing compounds adversely affect the adhesion of following lifts of mortar, leveling mortar or protective coatings.
• Moist curing should commence immediately after finishing.
• Protect freshly applied mortar from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.

* Pretesting of curing compound is recommended.
