Sodium Silicate Mortar is widely used for Acid Resistant Bricks & Tiles lining works as Bedding & Jointing Mortar for Tanks, Floor, Drain, Foundation etc. Resistant: Sodium Silicate mortar are useful in PH range of 0-6 except where sulphuric acid exporser existing in the vaper phase wet-dry exposures or in concentration above 93% It is also resistant to Oxidizing & Non-oxidizing Acids, & except Hydrofluoric Acid & Water. Resistant to temperature: 1000C (Max.) Preparation of Mortar: Preparation of Mortar generally consists of Solution & Powder. In order to obtain good working consistency, the average mixing ratio is 1 Pbw of Solution & 3 pbw of Powder. This ratio will slightly vary depending upon the temperature and working conditions. Prepare small batches of Mortar. Stirrer the Solution thoroughly before use. Place the Solution in a suitable mixing pan and add powder in it. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or Trowel. The mixing operation shall be continued until a uniform mixture is obtained. Make sure that all the Mortar is used from the mixing pan before another batch is prepared. Surface Preparation: The cement plastered surface shall be slightly rough in line & level , dry & clean, free from dust, dirt, grease, oil etc., maintaining required slope etc. as no slope can be adjusted or altered in Acid proof lining works. Setting/Curing: Furomor Resin Mortar is a Self-hardening due to its chemical reaction which occurs when the Powder & Resin are mixed together. An initial setting occurs in 6 to 8 hrs. at 30C Final Setting occurs in 24 to 48 hrs. at 30C Curing time: 7 days at 30C Please ensure that no water shall be spilled over the bricks lining works before it completely cured. Acid Curing: When the bedding & jointing mortar is different, after the bedding mortar is properly set, cure the joints for a minimum period of 72 hours with 20 to 25% HCL acid before applying the resin type mortar. After acid curing, wash the free acid in the joints with clean water & allow sufficient time for thorough drying. Resin mortar shall then be filled into the joints. Mechanical/Physical property: Working time at 30C: 15 minute (min)Density of cured mortar: 2 grm per cc Bond strength: 5 Kg.Cm2Compressive Strength: 100 Kg/Cm2 Flexural Strength: 35 Kg/Cm2Toluene Absorption: Max. 18% Storage Life : Solution : 24 Months at the temperature 30C (2C) Solution : 24 Months at the temperature 30C (2C) All two components are stored in cool and dry place under the roof until ready to use it original unopened (Sealed) containers.
