- Features
Abrasion Resistant, Chemical Resistant, Excellent Substrate Adhesion, Freeze/Thaw Stability, Good Bonding Strength, Good Flexural Modulus, Good Shrinkage Resistance
- Product Type
- Mortar
- Application Area
- Masonry
- Application Method
- Trowel
- Curing
Damp cure all installations. Begin curing as soon as the surface has lost its moist sheen. Keep exposed surfaces wet for a minimum of 1 hour. When experiencing extended setting times due to cold temperature or the use of retarder, longer cure times may be required. The objective of damp curing shall be to maintain the continuously wet surface until the product has achieved sufficient strength.
- Freight
- Class 55
- Markets
- Building & Construction
- Clean Up
Water soluble prior to drying. Clean container and tools prior to material drying.
- Coverage
10 pounds of UNIQUE FLEXICRETE XP polymer modified mortar yields approximately 0.11 cubic foot of finished product when mixed with 28 ounces of potable water. Material will yield about 10 pounds per square foot per 1" thick.
- PACKAGING
Truckload quantities are typical but may vary depending on destination, truck tare weight and/or trailer type (box van, flat bed, rail shipments or ocean freight container).
- Placement
Make sure surface is SSD and any standing water has been removed. UNIQUE FLEXICRETE XP polymer mortar may be placed using traditional methods from featheredge to 2". Place and consolidate the material quickly to allow for maximum finishing time. UNIQUE FLEXICRETE XP polymer mortar may be troweled, floated or broom finished.
- Shelf LIfe
Two years if stored in an unopened pail according to ACI Guidelines.
- Limitations
Not intended for applications on unsound concrete or like surfaces. Not recommended for applications over 2" deep. For deeper applications use UNIQUE FLEXICRETE® 25 Polymer Modified Concrete Mix or contact UNIQUE's Technical Department. For overlay applications at least one test section should be prepared to evaluate the suitability of the materials and procedures.
- Temperature
Warm environmental and materials temperatures will reduce the working time. To compensate for warm temperatures, keep material cool and use chilled water. Temperatures below 60ºF will decrease the rate of strength gain. UNIQUE FLEXICRETE XP polymer modified mortar should not be applied if surface temperature is below 45ºF or above 90ºF.
