Spalled concrete is concrete that is flaking, pitted or overly rough. This typically happens due to a combination of poor installation or environmental factors that stress the concrete, causing it to become damaged. Surecrete, an industry leader in decorative concrete, offers several solutions for repairing spalled or damaged concrete, including a product to patch pitted or flaking concrete.
Flash Patch is a single component, cement-based chemical patching compound. Used with a concrete restoration system, it provides a workable, no-slump patch that sets quickly for a fast return to service. To use, apply a slurry bond coat of SureBond mixed loosely with water to the host surface. While it is still wet, apply the Flash Patch mixed loosely with water. Maximum thickness is approximately 1”. For thicker applications add coarse sand or pea gravel at a rate of ½” to 1” of dry mix to prevent excessive shrinkage.
