fibre-reinforced Polymer-Modified Concrete Repair Mortar

Fibre-Patch GP

Two-component, fibre-reinforced repair mortar for durable concrete patching and reprofiling where bond, water resistance, and repair life matter.

Technical basis FIBRE-PATCH GP
  • Uses polymer modification, microsilica, and dispersed fibres to improve repair durability and reduce shrinkage cracking risk.
  • Fits structural concrete repair sequences with FIBRE-PRIME on exposed reinforcement.
  • Used for local repair and reprofiling before compatible Cem-Kote waterproofing or protection systems.

Decision Summary

When to specify Fibre-Patch GP

  • The repair must rebuild section profile, not just cover the surface.
  • The substrate may include exposed or corroding reinforcement.
  • Durability against water, chlorides, and freeze-thaw matters.

Core Uses

Structural patching, reprofiling, and repair-system continuity

Durable Concrete Rebuild

FIBRE-PATCH GP is a polymer-modified repair mortar with microsilica and dispersed fibres for concrete areas where a simple sand-cement patch would shrink, absorb water, or debond. It is used from feather edge to deep patch repairs where the repaired zone must stay integrated with the old concrete.

Reinforcement Repair Sequence

When reinforcement is exposed, FIBRE-PRIME is applied first so corrosion is treated before the repair mortar hides the steel again. GP then rebuilds the cover and profile as part of a complete repair sequence.

Waterproofing Preparation

After damaged concrete is rebuilt, Cem-Kote membranes or crystalline waterproofing can be specified over the repaired area according to water pressure, movement, and exposure requirements.

How the material changes the specification

Conventional Repair Mortars: Common Limitations

  • Shrinkage cracking reopens a path for water and chloride ingress.
  • Poor bond to old concrete can make the patch fail before the surrounding structure.
  • Untreated reinforcement continues to corrode below the repair mortar.

FIBRE-PATCH GP: Practical Value

  • Combines polymer modification, microsilica, and fibres for a dense repair mortar.
  • Works with Fibre-Prime on exposed steel instead of treating corrosion as a separate afterthought.
  • Creates a better substrate for final waterproofing or protective coatings.

FAQ

Specification questions

When should Fibre-Prime be used with GP?

Use Fibre-Prime when exposed reinforcement needs corrosion protection or when the specification calls for a bonding layer on prepared concrete.

Can GP stop active leaks?

No. Active leaks should be stopped first with Fibre-Patch WP, then GP can be used to rebuild the concrete profile where required.

How thick can the repair be?

It can be used from feather-edge detailing to sections over 100 mm when the repair is built and cured according to the data sheet.

When should GP be chosen instead of OV?

GP is the better fit when the repair is structural, bond-critical, or part of a broader repair sequence where the two-component polymer modification is preferred. OV is optimized for overhead and vertical build without formwork.

What happens if exposed reinforcement is patched without Fibre-Prime?

The patch may look sound initially, but corrosion can continue below the repair mortar. Expanding corrosion products can then crack or debond the repaired area from inside.
