Key Benefits of Vinyl Ester Mortar / Cement

Superior Chemical Resistance

Resists strong oxidizing agents, mineral and organic acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, and some organic solvents.

High Mechanical Strength

Offers exceptional bond strength (10 Kg/cm²), compressive strength (5000 Kg/cm²), and flexural strength (315 Kg/cm²).

Low Absorption and Shrinkage

Features minimal water absorption (0.2%) for long-lasting performance.

Rapid Setting

Achieves initial set in just one hour at room temperature, minimizing downtime.

Temperature Resilience

Performs reliably up to 130°C, ideal for challenging industrial conditions.

Preparation and Application

Mortar / Cement Mixing

Mixing Ratio : Typically consists of a resin solution and powder (filler/hardener). Follow manufacturer guidelines for exact ratios, which may vary based on temperature and conditions.
Process : Stir the resin solution thoroughly, then gradually add the powder in a mixing pan. Blend with a spatula or trowel until a uniform, workable consistency is achieved.
Tip : Prepare small batches to ensure freshness and workability. Use all mixed Mortar / Cement before preparing a new batch.

Surface Preparation

Ensure the cement-plastered surface is slightly rough, dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, or oil.
Apply a compatible chemical-resistant membrane to protect the concrete or steel substrate.
Maintain proper alignment and slope, as acid-proof linings cannot correct surface irregularities.

Application

Place chemical-resistant bricks or tiles over the dry membrane using spacer chips to ensure even joints.
Apply Vinyl Ester Mortar / Cement to fill joints, ensuring complete coverage and adhesion.
For vertical surfaces, use adhesive tape to contain the Mortar / Cement during application, if necessary.
Important: Prevent water exposure during curing to ensure optimal strength and chemical resistance.

Curing

Solution

Initial Set : Approximately 1 hour at room temperature (30°C).
Full Curing : Typically 24–48 hours, depending on ambient conditions.
Note: Avoid water or chemical exposure until fully cured to maximize performance.

Storage and Shelf Life

Vinyl Ester Liquid : 1 month at 35°C.
Powder Component : Follow manufacturer guidelines, typically stable for several months when stored properly.
Storage : Keep both components in their original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place under a roof.

Packaging

Liquid and Powder : Available in industry-standard containers (custom sizes available upon request).
Export Packaging : Tailored to customer requirements for global shipping.
