Renderoc SP Xtra constructive solutions

Shrinkage controlled, cementitious repair mortar,

specifically designed for spraying

Uses Standard compliance

Renderoc SPXtra is suitable for wet or dry and hand Renderoc SPXtra repair mortar system complies with the
application in a wide variety of repair applications, and is following international standards:
particularly well suited to vertical and overhead repairs.
Typical applications would include, but not be limited to, the ASTM C-157-93 : Test for drying shrinkage
