Vertical & Overhead Concrete Repair

Non-Sag Epoxy Systems for Walls, Ceilings, Beams & Soffits

Vertical & Overhead Concrete Repair Solutions

Concrete repair isn’t always flat.
Cracked, spalled, or delaminated concrete on vertical walls or overhead slabs can be a challenge—especially when gravity fights against you.
ZDSpoxy’s non-sag epoxy repair systems are formulated for knife-grade troweling, strong adhesion, and zero slump, enabling safe, clean, and lasting structural patching on any orientation—even wet or humid surfaces.

Real Case Example

A multi-level parking garage had ceiling delamination near rebar zones.
ZDS2771AB was used to rebuild sections above head height with no slump or rebound.
After curing, surface was topcoated with waterproof membrane.
Pull-off strength >2.4MPa after 28 days.

Repair above your head—with confidence.
