A-SERIES ACID RESISTANT MORTAR
CFC® A-SERIES MORTAR
CFC® A-Series Mortar is an acid resistant mortar with resistance to most chemicals. It is designed to resist all acids except hydrofluoric.
Resistant to all acid exposures at concentrations ranging from 0.1-percent to 98-percent
WHAT IS COLD FUSION CONCRETE (CFC®)?
Geopolymer Solutions, LLC (GPS) has developed Cold Fusion Concrete (CFC ®). CFC® is a normal weight and lightweight, single dry material concrete, for water mixing. CFC® is resistant to most natural and man-made reagents including chlorides, sulfates, and various concentrations of acids including sulfuric* (.01 to 98%), hydrochloric (.01 to 85%), phosphoric (.01 to 75%), acetic (.01 to 80%), and nitric (.01 to 75%). CFC complies with the ASTMC C1157 Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement.

RECOMMENDED USES
A-SERIES is successfully utilized in the Petrochemical, Fertilizer, Food & Beverage, Mining, and Military Industries, and the Oil & Gas Industry due to its chemical resistance and complete resistance to chloride and sulfate attack.
Resistant to all acid exposures at concentrations ranging from 0.1-percent to 98-percent
PACKAGING, SHELF LIFE COVERAGE
- CFC® A-SERIES Mortar is supplied in 5 gallon Ready-to-Use Buckets.
- CFC® A-SERIES Mortar has a shelf life of 2 years.
- CFC® A-SERIES Mortar will install approximately 100 bricks per 5 gallon container.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Prep – Pour the desired amount of dry mortar into a bucket, wheelbarrow, etc.
Place unused mortar mix back into bucket and seal. Add water and mix. Use from 8% to 13% water-based upon the mass of dry mortar.
How To Apply – Fill the Joints. Scoop mortar onto a brick, trowel, or hawk, hold it up even with a bed joint, and push the mortar against the back of the joint with the tuck-pointing trowel. Eliminate voids with a few slicing passes of the trowel’s edge, then add more mortar until the joint is filled.
CLEANS UP WITH SOAP & WATER WHEN COHESIVE, AND JACKHAMMERS WHEN PROPERLY CURED.
EXPECTED CHARACTERISTICS
A-SERIES is successfully utilized in the Petrochemical, Fertilizer, Food & Beverage, Mining, and Military Industries, and the Oil & Gas Industry due to its chemical resistance and complete resistance to chloride and sulfate attack.
