SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX
Thixotropic, plastic concrete repair mortar — for trowel application on horizontal and sloped substrates. It features shrinkage-compensating properties and high strength.
SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX is a one-component, fast-setting repair mortar with thixotropic properties, classified as R4 in accordance with the requirements of EN 1504-3.
The product is supplied as a dry, factory-prepared mix. The formula is based on sulphate-resistant Portland cement (HSR LA) and hydraulic binders, combined with sands with optimized grading. It also contains PAN polymer fibers (polyacrylonitrile) and modifying additives that ensure rapid strength gain — also at temperatures below 0°C, limited drying shrinkage, and increased durability under service conditions.
After mixing with water, a plastic, thixotropic consistency is obtained, intended for manual application. The mortar can be placed in layers with a thickness of 10–150 mm, maintaining good stability on inclined surfaces.
Applications of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX:
- bedding of small and medium manhole frames,
- installation and bedding of kerbs and paving blocks,
- repairs of horizontal surfaces,
- repairs of sloped surfaces,
- indoor and outdoor works,
- applications at low temperatures,
- applications in demanding conditions where very short downtime / out-of-service periods are required.
Approximate consumption: to prepare 1 m3 of fresh mortar, approx. 1950 kg of SikaEmaco® T 1100 TIX is required.
One 25 kg bag yields approx. 12.9 l of mortar (actual yield depends on the amount of mixing water).
Delivery: 3–5 business days.

Very rapid strength gain - return to service after approx. 2 hours (at +20°C)

Easy application

After adding gravel - application in thicker layers is possible
Key properties:
Application and execution conditions
