Hairline Crack in Concrete – Causes, Repair and Prevention
Crack repair materials for concrete are often polymer-modified cement grouts, silicone or latex caulking, or epoxies. Polymer-modified cement grout is the typical material used to fill pinholes and voids in concrete during manufacture. If cracks occur before the concrete is sealed, this is often the material used to repair them. 3.
