ART-XFJ
Concrete Crack Microbial Repair Agent

ART-XFJ is a concrete crack repair agent jointly developed by the Research Center for Green Building Materials and Carbon Fixation Utilization of Southeast University and Jiangsu ARIT New Materials Co., Ltd. It utilizes the life activities of microorganisms to achieve a bionic function that can automatically sense and actively and promptly repair micro-cracks. Additionally, it offers secondary repair effects for repeated cracking, effectively addressing issues such as water leakage, ion transport, durability assurance, and aesthetics.


Features of ART-XFJ

1

It can sense crack formation automatically and repair micro-cracks in a timely manner to prevent the development of larger cracks.


2

It has a high repair capacity, which improves the mechanical and durability properties of concrete.


3

It has the ability to repair cracks for a second time.


4

It is highly compatible with concrete and does not affect the conventional physical, mechanical, and construction properties of concrete.

5

It relies on microbially induced stable inorganic mineral repair of cracks, which is environmentally friendly and non-toxic and pollution-free.

6

The product is in the form of spherical particles, with simple packaging and convenient and quick usage.

Effective Viable Bacteria Count
Tested according to the national standard “Food Safety National Standard—Microbiological Examination of Food: Determination of Total Viable Count,” the effective viable bacteria count of this product is above 2.5×10⁸ CFU/g.

Bacterial Alkali Resistance (Ratio of Viable Bacteria Count after 90 Days)
Tested according to the industry standard “Technical Regulations for the Application of Microbial Self-Healing Concrete,” the alkali resistance of bacteria in the microbial repair agent for concrete cracks is above 95%.


Application of ART-XFJ

Microbial repair agents can be used for various types of concrete structures and are especially suitable for places where micro-cracks are prone to occur, where high crack control requirements exist, where manual repair is difficult, where repair construction space is limited, and where cracks are not easily detected in a timely manner. Recommended application fields:

Underground waterproof concrete structures

Hydraulic concrete structures

Marine concrete structures

Exterior walls of various industrial and residential buildings

Road and bridge concrete
