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.
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 ASTM C1157 Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement.
Features
Resistant to all acid exposures at concentrations ranging from 0.1-percent to 98-percent- Resistant to all acids except hydrofluoric.
- Resistant to hydrocarbons, chlorides, and sulfate exposure degradation.
- Resistant to freeze and thaw cycles.
- Resistant to solvent exposure.
- Green Technology.
- Can be colored.
- Fiber reinforced (micro).
- Interior and exterior applications.
- Resistant to freeze and thaw cycles.
- Can be used in hot or cold climates.
- Improves corrosion protection.
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.
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 desired amount of dry mortar into 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.
