ACS Pitcrete is a premium pre-packaged, water resistant, sprayable ventilation system used largely in mining applications.
A single application product, ACS Pitcrete provides superior strength characteristics, reduced water permeability qualities and a reduction in application time and costs.
It is particularly suitable for underground ventilation control devices and sealing applications. Because of its reduced water permeability qualities, a water proofing membrane is usually not required prior to application.
Recommended Uses
ACS Pitcrete is typically used in underground mining applications for ventilation sealing, where low water permeability is required.
Technical Properties
Typical properties when mixed with the appropriate amount of potable water and tested at 25ºC and 50% RH.
Fire Resistance
ACS Pitcrete complied with the requirements of MDG3006MRT8 (Draft Jan2007), 5.1c) Fire Resistance when tested in accordance with Mine Safety Test Method 98/1070 Issue No.3 Part C.
A full copy of the test results are available upon request.
Application
The surface to be sprayed shall be prepared by removing all unsound materials and debris.
ACS Pitcrete can be applied in depths of 10 – 200mm in one pass depending on the spraying method used, as well as substrate and weather conditions.
Cleaning
All tools should be rinsed with water immediately after use to remove all traces of ACS Pitcrete.
Storage
If kept dry and stored in its original condition, ACS Pitcrete will keep indefinetly.
The shelf life of the product may be reduced if subjected to high temperatures and high humidity.
