Chemrite Silicate Mortar

2-Component, Polymer-modified, Silicate-based, Chemical-resistant Mortar
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Chemrite Silicate Mortar is a polymer modified, two-component,
Description chemical-resistant, silicate mortar.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite Silicate Mortar is used for protecting surfaces against aggressive
chemical attack & steel corrosion, especially for:
- Reinforced concrete surfaces, both vertical & horizontal
- Exposed reinforced bars & dowels
- Industrial chimneys
- Potable water tanks
- Sewage tanks
- Masonary & cement plaster
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemrite Silicate Mortar offers the following advantages:
- Resistant against sulphates, chlorides and other aggressive elements
- Non corrosive, non toxic
- Long term protection of steel reinforcement against corrosion
- Resists penetration of CO2 & other aggressive fluids
- Hardened mortar surface is abrasion resistant

Application Details
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Stir component A (liquid) thoroughly before pouring into a clean
mixing container. Add component B (powder) slowly while mixing
continuously. Use low speed electric mixers (max.500 rpm) for 3
minutes avoiding entrapment of air. By adding the powder in
portions, the desired application consistency can be obtained.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Application After mixing the two components of Chemrite Silicate Mortar
thoroughly in the specified proportion, apply the wet mixture on the
cleaned surface free of bitumen, oil, grease, loose particles etc.
For effective protection against chemical attack, apply the product to
achieve required thickness in at least two layers.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Curing Apply regular curing methods on the finished mortar surface.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Cleaning Application and mixing tools should be cleaned with water while
material is still fresh. Hardened material can only be removed
mechanically.
