40. TWO-COMPONENT EPOXY MORTAR THAT CAN BE FILLED (IN CONCRETE MIXER) WITH SILICEOUS
AGGREGATE; IT IS SUITED FOR RESTORING OF CARRYING STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO HIGH
MECHANICAL STRESS, BUILDING OF BEDPLATES, REPAIR OF STEEL-COVERING ON DETERIORATED
CONCRETE STRUCTURES, BUILDING OF BLOCKS, HIGH-RESISTANCE REINFORCEMENTS, BEARING
FOR BEAMS AND RAILS, CONCRETE-CONCRETE/WOOD-CONCRETE/STEEL-CONCRETE GLUEING.
BEFORE PUTTING THIS PRODUCT IN CONCRETE MIXER, IS NECESSARY TO MIX THOROUGHLY
COMPONENT A AND B USING A LOW-SPEED MOTOR (I.E. HAND DRILL) DRIVING A MIXING SCREW.
THE RIGHT FILLING RATIO GOES FROM 1:1 (1 PART MORTAR + 1 PART SILICEOUS AGGREGATE)
TO 1:2 (1 PART MORTAR + 2 PARTS SILICEOUS AGGREGATE).
OPTIMAL GRANULOMETRY OF SILICEOUS AGGREGATE IS 1÷3 MM.
AFTER POURING MORTAR IN CAISSON IS NECESSARY TO COMPACT THE MASS USING PLASTERING

43. GLOBALFOAM-SP
Organic-mineral two components resin foam, characterized by low viscosity, excellent chemical
stability, mechanical resistance and good adhesion on rock stabilization, cavity filling, protection
and water proofing of reservoirs and aqueducts, water conveyance in water bearing stratum.
GLOBALFOAM WR-NF
Polyurethane resin, self-estinguishing, suited for sealing of cracks, joints, cavity filling, and for
consolidation of crushed manufacture made of stone or cement, in presence of dampness.
In contact with water starts a chemical reaction that forms a closed-cells consolidating foam,
which is waterproof and has a good chemical stability.
GLOBALFOAM PU-NF
Two-component polyurethane injection foaming-resin, self-extinguishing, ensuring high
reactivity, excellent mechanical strength and chemical stability; designed for waterproofing and
consolidation of rocks, friable land and structures affected by high-pressure water, as well as to
convey water in aquifers and fill voids and cavities.
It penetrates into the smaller fissures and seals them even against significant water infiltration.
It always hardens, with or without water .It forms a stable, resistant, hard yet flexible foam,
characterised by high chemical-mechanical stability.

44. GLOBALSTONE-M and GLOBALSONE-LV50
SEALING AND STRUCTURAL BONDING OF FISSURES AND CRACKS (FLEX) - STRATA CONSOLIDATION
Organic-mineral two components resin, not expansible, characterized by low viscosity, excellent
chimica stability, mechanical resi stance and flexibility. Ideal for water-proofing fractured rock,
consolidation of loose land and rock, crack and cavity filling. Especially suitable for bonding
injection drill bolts because the resins cure within just a few minutes and the bolt can be loaded in
a very short time. FIRE RESISTANT.
GLOBALPOX -TAR
Two-component, solvent-free product formulated with fluid epoxy resins modified with special
hydrocarbon extenders.
Highly suitable for protective, anti-corrosion and waterproofing coating of concrete, fibre-cement,
brickwork, steel and wood surfaces.
Due to its very good properties with regard to adhesion and resistance to acid and alkali solutions,
this product is used for thickness-paint coating of sewer trunk lines, biologic pits, road surfacing
underlayers, gres flooring underlayers, industrial roofing, drainage water container tanks (also if
contaminated by oil residues), salt water tanks, structures extending underground,
decontamination installations.
“Globalpox-Tar” can reticulate completely also at low temperatures (down to + 5° c); it is also
recommended for for use indoors since, being free from solvents, prevents fire hazard.

45. GLOBALPOX-MALTA
Two-component epoxy mortar that can be filled (in concrete mixer) with siliceous aggregate; it is
suited for restoring of carrying structures subjected to high mechanical stress, building of bedplates,
repair of steel-covering on deteriorated concrete structures, building of blocks, high-resistance
reinforcements, bearing for beams and rails, concrete /woodconcrete /steel-concrete glueing.
Before putting this product in concrete mixer, is necessary to mix thoroughly component “a” and “b”
using a low-speed motor (i.e. hand drill) driving a mixing screw. the right filling ratio goes from 1: 1 (1
part mortar + 1 part siliceous aggregate) to 1: 2 (1 part mortar + 2 parts siliceous aggregate).
Optimal granulometry of siliceous aggregate is 1 ÷ 3 mm.
After pouring mortar in caisson is necessary to compact the mass using plastering trowels or vibrators.
