The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference

The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties summit is currently being held in Glasgow until 12th November 2021 (aka ‘COP 26’). The World’s progress on climate change, and how to tackle it, is currently being discussed by World Leaders. With Winter Flooding an ever increasing issue in a lot of UK areas, Rockbond have a product that can be used to seal and repair any weaknesses before disaster hits. Rockbond Underwater Mortar (RB UWM) powder is a blend of special cement powders, high quality graded sand, and a unique combination of polymers and admixtures. The powder, when mixed with water, produces a mortar which is wash-out resistant and waterproof. The ready to use mortar powders are packaged in 25kg moisture proof durable bags and have a shelf life of 2 years. By using pre-mixed bags you will get a consistent formulation just by adding a consistent amount of water. Alternative products where admixtures are supplied separately will give inconsistent and variable results. Properties : • Underwater mortar is based on Portland cement with modified polymers and then enhanced with micro silica. • The mortars develop an excellent putty consistency for ease of application. • This mortar is used above and below the waterline. • The mortar does not disperse, wash-out or break up underwater. • Forms a strong, impermeable bond to brick, stone, masonry, steel, and concrete. • Mortars can be built up to a level of existing profiles in one operation. • Produce a smooth and attractive surface. • Suitable for canals, rivers, reservoirs or lakes as it will not contaminate the water. • The formulation does not contain iron, high alumina cement, chlorides or harmful substances. • High yield, economical, non-flammable, non-toxic, odour free, user-friendly and safe to use in an underwater environment. Uses: • Repairs to Offshore and underwater marine concrete structures. • Repairs and waterproofs precast concrete, tunnels, culverts, sewers and pipes. • Points and repairs bricks, blocks, and masonry above and below the waterline. • Repairs concrete in tidal zones where time is limited. • Protects marine structures above and below the waterline. • Repairs concrete sea defences, harbours, jetties, docks and locks. • Caulk gaps, joints and seal shutters. • Underwater mortar stops and plugs the flow of running water or grout through brick or concrete.
