Horizontal surfaces only though can be used on sloped surfaces such as parking garage ramps with some extra precautions Can be used to repair bridge decks, parking garages, industrial floors or concrete slabs Not effective for repairing cracks caused by steel corrosion or AAR Skid resistance should be considered when exposed to heavy traffic and high speeds Not effective for moving cracks caused by thermal changes, structural loads, resistant or relief joints Flood coat will seal slab and fill open cracks Methacrylates are not effective in repairing moving cracks Most methacrylates can resist movement up to 5% to 10% of the crack width. Specialized bridge deck methacrylate can resist up to 25% to 30%
