Sprayed concrete is used in large quantities on major construction projects. As rebound during spraying results in loss of material and affects proper-ties, polymer additives were designed specifically to reduce this problem. Large-scale tests confirmed that adhesion to wet substrates, permeability and cracking could all be improved. The added costs can be more than offset by reductions in working time....
