K
- SILICATE MORTAR :-
—————————————————————————————————————— |
° |
INTRODUCTION:
This is Silicate type, two-part chemical setting mortar.
It is recommended against permanently acidic condition,
and can withstand much higher temperature compared to
other resin type & sulfur type mortar.
|
| ° |
AREA
OF APPLICATION:
K-silicate is principally used with acid resisting bricks
and tiles for acid resisting masonry construction,because
of its very low cost. It is highly recommended to protect
chimneys, incinerators and other high temperature equipment.

METHOD
OF APPICATION MIXING:
K-silicate is prepared by mixing solution & powder
to form workable mortar. The recommended ratio of mixing
is 1 part solution to 3 parts powder by wt. This ratio
will vary depending upon ambient temperature and working
conditions. Use clean dry mixing pan. Place appropriate
quantity of solution in mixing Pan, and add powder slowly
and start mixing thoroughly, until you get smooth paste
like mortar. Do not mix more material, then, can be
used within 30 minutes.

APPLICATION:
Mortar is buttered on acid resistance brick/tile as
usual bricklayers Method. Brick/tile also should be
clean,dry and at ambient temperature. After hardening
of the joints, it should be treated with 10 % Hydrochloric
acidbefore the acid resisting lining is place in use.
During & after completion of lining, area must be
kept dry and free from any other materials and traffic,
which can affect setting & curing of K- silicate.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:
K-silicate when completely set hard, resistant to high
concentration of oxidizing acids, inorganic acids and
salts and most organic solvents at high temperature.
It is not recommended against Hydrofluoric acid, fluorides,
fluoride salts, water, diluted solutions, alkalis etc.
