Structural repair and skimming of horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. It is suitable for repairing structures exposed to the elements or in permanent contact with water.

Some application examples:

• Rapid repair of damaged concrete in beams, columns, in fill walls, cornices, balcony edges, and other structural elements where a high-performance mortar is required.
• Rapid smoothing of defects in cast concrete, such as deep honeycombing areas, spacer holes, and construction joints, before subsequent painting.
• Repair and structural reinforcement of concrete by adding mortar.
• Repair of precast concrete elements.
• Repair of concrete damaged by oxidation of reinforcing bars due to carbonation.

• Do not add water to the mix once it has started to set in an attempt to make it workable again.
• Do not add cement or admixtures, with the exception of Mapetard ES.
• Do not apply Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 on smooth substrates: the surface must be roughened.
• Do not apply Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 on dry substrates.
• Do not use Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 for precision anchoring (use Mapesill or Mapesill R).
• Do not leave bags of Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 exposed to direct sunlight before use.
• Do apply Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 if the temperature is lower than +5°C.
• Do not use Planitop Rasa & Ripara R4 if the bag is damaged or has been previously opened.

• A suitably qualified Structural Design Engineer should specify this product based on the structural requirements of the degraded concrete structure. 
• A Structural Design Engineer should review the NZ Building code clauses with reference to EN 1504-3, SAA/SNZ HB84:1996 and NZS 3101:2006 to confirm compliance for each specific application. 
• Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 has an A1 rating for Fire as per euro class EN 13501-1 F2 Hazardous Building Materials: F2.3.1 
• Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 contains a mix of cement, sand, fibres, and additives. When the product is being applied it therefore has the same hazards as fresh concrete and appropriate health and safety precautions should be undertaken. Read the products Safety data Sheet and wear the required personal protective equipment. Once this product is set and hard Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 is a non-hazardous product and does not emit any harmful gases or substance.

• Residual GreenHouse Gas emissions measured throughout the life cycle of this product using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset for the year 2026 through the acquisition of carbon credits in support of forestry protection projects.
