Nitomortar B

constructive solutions

High strength epoxy resin bearing mortar

Uses

Surface preparation

For the formation of bridge bearing pad levelling plinths.

Can also be used as a high strength horizontal repair for
concrete structures.

All grease, oil, chemical contamination, dust laitence and

loose concrete must be removed by scarifying. The
surface must then be etched with Fosroc Acid Etch. After
the reaction has ceased, the surface should be thoroughly
washed with clean water and allowed to dry.

Description

Priming

Nitomortar B is a specially selected solvent free epoxy

system together with high quality silica aggregates. It is
supplied as a three pack material in pre-weighed
quantities ready for on site use. When components are
mixed together the system cures to form a strong and
durable mortar.

Priming is not normally required in a pure load bearing

situation.
However, if a good bond is essential,
particularly in a repair situation, the properly prepared
concrete should be primed with Nitoprime 30/31 and the
Nitomortar B applied to the primer whilst it is still tacky.

Advantages

Mixing

Speed:

Early development
of initial
hardness and high early strength,
speeds construction operations.
Reaches over 90 N/mm2 at 24
hours.

Quality:

Pre-weighed laboratory controlled

materials ensure consistency and
eliminate source of operative error.

Durability:

Maintains high level of impact and

abrasion resistance.

Waterproof:

Will cure even under damp

condition.
Cured material is
completely impermeable to water.

Locally produced:

Formulated for use in Middle East

conditions.

The Nitomortar B base and hardener components should

be thoroughly mixed in the base container and then added
to the mixed aggregates in a Mixal or Kol type mixer using
a low speed. Mixing should continue for 2 to 3 minutes
until all the components are thoroughly blended.
Trowelling
The mixed material is applied to the surface with a steel
trowel in approximately 12 mm () layers taking care that
it is well compacted. During cold weather it may be
necessary to protect the work by temporary tenting and to
assist curing by means of warm air blowers. Minimum
application temperature 5oC.
Nitomortar B should not be applied in layers exceeding
50 mm (2) thick. Where greater thickness is required,
subsequent layers can be built up 18 hours after
application of the preceding layer.

Health and safety

Some people are sensitive to epoxy resins so gloves and
a barrier cream, Exaderm or similar, should be used when
handling these products. If contact with the resin occurs,
it must be removed, before it hardens, with a resin
removing cream such as Kerocleanse 22 and Roxalex 42.
Follow by washing with soap and water. Do not use
Solvent.

(modified)

The use of goggles is recommended but should accidental

eye contamination occur wash thoroughly with plenty of
water and seek medical treatment immediately. Ensure
good ventilation and do not smoke during use.
