FX-70-8
Underwater Mortar
DESCRIPTION:
FX-70-8 Underwater Mortar is a non-water separable grout or concrete that requires merely the addition of potable water at the job site and is mixed to the desired consistency. It may then be pumped or poured in water without any wash-out (separation) of the cement paste from other constituents.
ADVANTAGES:
FX-70-8 Underwater Mortar offers great economy when compared to two-component grouting materials. FX-70-8 Underwater Mortar is ready-to-use; just mix with potable water to the desired consistency. FX-70-8 does not require the careful and cumbersome placement of tremie pipes and the continual concern with the maintenance (during placement operations) of the tremie seal required with the use of conventional Portland Cement mortars or grouts. FX-70-8 can be pumped or poured in confined or unconfined areas.

HOW TO USE:
All deteriorated concrete should be removed by waterblasting or chipping to sound concrete. FX-70-8 Underwater Mortar can be mixed with up to 1.5 gallons (5.3 L) of water per 50 lb. (23 kg.) bag, and will produce an extremely flowable, yet non-shrinking grout. Be sure temperature after mixing is no less than 50°F.
COVERAGE:
Each 50 lb. bag when mixed with 1.25 gallon of potable water will yield approximately .40 cu. ft. of grouting mortar at a pourable consistency.
LIMITATIONS:
FX-70-8 Underwater Mortar should not be used at temperatures below 40 F.
SHELF LIFE:
One (1) year. Store in dry conditions.
