- Application Method
- Trowel
- Curing
Damp cure all UNIQUE HPFS mortar 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.

- Building & Construction
- Clean Up
Water soluble prior to drying. Clean container and tools prior to material drying.
- Extending
Option to extend up to 50% using clean pre-dampened 3/8" (ASTM-C33) aggregate.
- 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. Place, consolidate, screed and apply finish as soon as possible (Do not wait for bleed water). Trowel mixed material into the voids of the existing concrete. Place product in full depth sections. Product may be trowel floated or texture finished. Do not layer material. Do not apply on frozen surfaces.
- 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 intended for applications over 6" deep. For deeper applications use UNIQUE® Highway DOT Fast Setting Concrete Mix or contact UNIQUE's Technical Department. For overlay applications at least one section should be prepared to evaluate the suitability of the materials and procedures.
- Temperature
Warm environmental and materials temperatures will reduce the working time of UNIQUE HPFS mortar. To compensate for warm temperatures, keep material cool and use chilled water. Temperatures below 60ºF will decrease the rate of strength gain. UNIQUE HPFS mortar should not be applied if surface temperature is below 45ºF or above 90ºF.
