Use EverKrete Concrete Repair System Trade Kit for: Rapid concrete repairs, vertical & overhead patching, traffic-grade overlays, and slip-resistant surface finishing
The EverKrete Concrete Repair System Trade Kit is a professional-grade solution for fast, high-performance concrete repairs. Powered by EverKrete 102 thermoset vinyl polymer, this system produces a durable mortar for horizontal, vertical, and overhead surfaces. With a cure time of just 45–90 minutes, it's ideal for industrial floors, commercial pathways, and civil infrastructure.
Primer Information: Use EverKrete Primer on all clean, dry, structurally sound surfaces. Brush or roll to create a thin, tacky bond layer before applying mortar. For cooler temperatures (below 10°C), substitute with a blend of EverKrete 102 and Accelerator for consistent adhesion.
Cure Time: Cures in 45–90 minutes depending on temperature and application thickness. Allows full return to traffic use within 1.5 hours—ideal for high-demand sites needing rapid turnaround.
Coverage Rate: A 4 L kit yields approximately 12 L of repair mortar, covering up to 12 m² at 1 mm thickness. Surface overlays vary from 2–4 m²/L depending on porosity and finish type.
Application Temperature Range: Apply between 10°C and 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Use Accelerator for sub-10°C applications or rapid cure needs.
Chemical Properties: Based on thermoset vinyl polymer, the cured product features >70 MPa compressive strength, low water absorption, and Shore D 79 hardness. Excellent bond to concrete, brick, and masonry.

Frequently asked questions
Can EverKrete be used on vertical surfaces?
Yes, EverKrete handles vertical and overhead applications. For increased stiffness and to prevent slump, mix with EverKrete LVS or Fumed Silica.
How do I accelerate curing in cold weather?
Use EverKrete Accelerator when application temperatures are below 10°C. Mix it into the catalysed resin before adding any aggregates for uniform performance.
Is it suitable for driveways and industrial floors?
Yes, it is designed for high-traffic areas. For added slip resistance and durability, employ a double broadcast method with kiln-dried sand.
What should I use to clean tools?
Clean tools with acetone immediately after use while the material is still wet. Once cured, mechanical removal is necessary.
How do I match the colour?
The final colour depends on the sand used. You can achieve a custom finish by using tint pastes or by adjusting your sand ratios.

Product limitations
- Not for: Use below -18°C or above 35°C even with Accelerator. The documented application temperature range is 10°C to 35°C, extendable below 10°C with EverKrete Accelerator.
- Not for: Damp or wet surfaces. Ensure all substrates are completely dry before application to guarantee adhesion.
- Overhead applications: Patches above 20mm require application in multiple layers to prevent sag and ensure proper cure.
Safety and handling
Personal protective equipment
Wear appropriate PPE including gloves, safety glasses, and long sleeves. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details on required personal protection.
Ventilation
Apply in well-ventilated areas to minimise exposure to vapours. Forced ventilation may be necessary in enclosed spaces.
First aid
- Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
- Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Seek medical attention.
- Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and seek immediate medical attention.
Storage and disposal
Store between 10°C and 35°C in a dry, cool area. The shelf life is 12 months from the date of production when stored correctly. Dispose of unused material and containers according to local regulations.
Substrate guide
Proper surface preparation and primer selection are critical for the long-term performance of any concrete repair. This guide details requirements for documented substrates.
Concrete (28-day cured)
Surface prep: Concrete must be at least 28 days old and structurally sound. Remove all contaminants, laitance, and loose material by grinding, shot blasting, or scarifying to achieve a CSP profile of 3 or higher. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust.
Primer: Required. The EverKrete system includes a primer formulated for optimal adhesion to prepared concrete.
Sand-cement screeds and c-beds
Surface prep: Prepare as per concrete, ensuring the surface is stable, clean, dry, and free from any curing compounds or bond breakers. All dust must be removed.
Primer: Required. Use the EverKrete system primer for reliable bond.
Pre-cast concrete
Surface prep: Verify no release agents are present. Prepare surface by mechanical means to ensure a clean, porous, and dust-free finish. Test adhesion if release agent presence is suspected.
Primer: Required. The EverKrete system primer ensures adequate bond where no release agents exist.
Rendered masonry and cement blocks
Surface prep: Ensure surfaces are firm, dry, and free of any loose mortar, efflorescence, or other contaminants. Light abrasion may be required.
Primer: Required. The primer ensures penetration and bond to porous masonry surfaces.
Brick, Hebel, and similar porous surfaces
Surface prep: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust. Remove any loose material. Ensure porosity for primer penetration.
Primer: Required. The system primer is essential for achieving a strong bond on these porous substrates.
