• Tunnels and mines : Excellent for concrete and brick linings .  
• Basements and foundations: Ideal for below-ground water stoppage .
• Pipes : Provides a quick solution for cracked or leaking pipes .   

Advantages of Fosroc Renderoc Plug 
Emergency Water-Stopping Capability : One of the main benefits of Renderoc Plug is its ability to immediately stop water leakage, making it a lifesaver for emergency repairs.
Single Component Application : No need for additional components or complex mixtures—just clean water and the product is ready for use. This simplicity reduces human error on-site and ensures consistent quality.
Excellent Bonding to Substrate : The product’s superior bonding properties ensure that once applied, it stays firmly attached to the concrete or brick surface, giving you peace of mind that the repair will last.
Minimizing Thermal Cracking : Renderoc Plug’s low exotherm formula reduces the risk of thermal cracking, a common issue with other rapid-setting mortars.
Pre-Bagged Formulation : Every bag of Renderoc Plug is pre-mixed and ready to use, ensuring there’s no room for mistakes during site batching. This is especially important for time-critical repairs.
No Chloride Admixtures : Renderoc Plug is chloride-free, which makes it safe for use in sensitive environments, like drinking water systems, or structures where chloride could accelerate corrosion.

Composition of Fosroc Renderoc Plug 
The blend of Renderoc Plug includes :

• A balanced combination of cements and graded aggregates .
• Special fillers to enhance the mortar’s rapid setting properties .
• Chemical additives that control the rate of set and help minimize thermal cracking .

How to Use Fosroc Renderoc Plug  
The correct application of Fosroc Renderoc Plug ensures the best results. Let’s go step by step through its usage .
Surface Preparation Guidelines : Before you begin, it’s essential to prepare the surface correctly :

• Cut back the areas to a depth of at least 15 mm to ensure a good mechanical key.
• Make sure the surface is clean and free of loose materials, dust, and contaminants like grease and oil.

Mixing Fosroc Renderoc Plug

• Mix three parts Renderoc Plug with one part clean water (measured by volume) .
• Stir the mixture to a stiff consistency using a trowel or gloved hand .
• Only mix enough material that can be applied within the set time , which is around one minute .

Application Techniques : You can apply Renderoc Plug using either a trowel or by hand. Make sure to press the mortar firmly into place to ensure maximum contact with the substrate . When plugging running water, hold the mortar in place until the initial set occurs .

Working in Different Temperature Conditions

• In low temperatures (down to 1°C), using warm water is recommended to speed up the setting time .
• For high temperatures (above 35°C), store the product in the shade, and use cooler water for mixing .

Cleaning and Maintenance
Tools and equipment should be cleaned with water before the mortar sets . Once the material cures, it can only be removed mechanically, so timely cleaning is essential .

Health and Safety Precautions 
As with all cement - based products, Renderoc Plug can release alkalis when mixed with water . Protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear should be worn to avoid skin and eye contact. If contact occurs, thoroughly wash with clean water and, if needed, seek medical attention .
