ACID-ALK CEMENT MORTAR GRADE 33

Physical properties were determined on specimens prepared under laboratory conditions using applicable ASTM procedures. Actual field conditions may vary and yield different results; therefore, data are subject to reasonable deviation. Data should not be used for specification purposes.

Sauereisen Acid-Alk Cement 33 – Mortar Grade is the original one-part, chemical-setting, inorganic, modified silicate base cement. Supplied in powder form, 33 – Mortar Grade is mixed with potable water.

Acid-Alk Cement Mortar Grade is specifically formulated to be used as a mortar in acid brick construction but may be placed as a castable in monolithic applications. 33 – Mortar Grade resists most acids (except hydrofluoric and acid fluoride salts) and some alkalies from pH 0.0 to 9.0. It also resists water, steam and weather without any special post cure treatment or acid washing.

33 – Mortar Grade cures with an internal chemical-setting action, developing a final set in 36 to 48 hours at 70°F. It does not have the fast initial set characteristic of most chemical-setting cements and permits economical and efficient construction.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Resists most solvents, oil and acids (except fluorides) over a pH range of 0.0 to 9.0.
• Resists water, steam and weather without special treatment.
• Withstands temperatures to 1,750°F (954°C).
• Single component, simply mix with potable water – does not require any special binder.
• Noncorrosive – may be used in direct contact with steel, iron, lead and most other materials.
• Highly resistant to sulfation, blooming and efflorescence.
• Bonds to steel, concrete, brick and most other surfaces that are structurally sound, clean and free of oil and grease.
• Safe to use – does not emit noxious or hazardous fumes or odors during mixing, application or setting.
