Vinyl Ester Mortar

  • Technical Details

Vinyl Ester Mortar is used in the construction of floors, sumps, trenches, tanks, vessels and bleach towers in chemical processing, food and beverage plants, dairies, laboratories, textile, steel and pulp & paper mills.

Vinyl Ester Mortar has excellent resistance to oxidizing bleach solutions, mineral and organic acids, alkaline solutions and some organic solvents. When used with chemical resistant masonry units and the proper membrane Vinyl Ester Mortar will protect concrete and steel sub base from chemical attacks and physical abuse.

Resistant

Resistant to strong oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis and bleaches and solvents. Low absorption and shrinkage. High bond, tensile and compressive strengths. Rapidly develops physical properties initial set time is one hour at room temperature.

Resistant to temperature

130° C (Max.)

Preparation of Mortar

The mortar should be heated at low temperature in a suitable Kettle by stirring with metal rod or ladle. The surface shall be laid first with membrane. Over the dry coat of membrane, the chemical resistant bricks or tiles be placed on spacer chips. Melted Sulphur Mortar shall be poured through joints of bricks or tiles. In case of vertical surface joints of bricks or tiles are covered by applying with adhesive paper. Sulphur Mortar is poured between the wall surface and the tile or bricks. Please ensure that no water shall be spilled over the bricks lining works before it completely cured.

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.
