Sealtight Meadow-Crete H2, a trowel-applied repair mortar for horizontal repairs of concrete, can be used in industrial and civil engineering applications. The mortar is suitable for both small and large areas and interior and exterior applications, as long as the concrete is a minimum of 1Ú4 in. deep. The new product is polymer-modified for enhanced bond, has low permeability and protects embedded reinforcing steel. It also contains a migrating corrosion inhibitor to enhance and protect localized and adjacent reinforcing steel. This plastic mesh netting for wire and cable installers, electrical contractors, property managers, plumbers, builders, landscapers and others is designed to surround the product in a 4-in. x 1 3/4-in. profile of protective, flexible netting. In indoor installations, the CPD mesh eliminates dangling cords and permits continuous visual access. In underground installations, it provides a safeguard against machinery.
