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. Properties for the cold curing formulation vary by time and temperature.
Sauereisen Epoxy NovolaK Mortar/Setting Bed is a three-component material used for bonding chemical-resistant masonry units. 25 is available in 3 versions. The standard grade is combined with brick or tile to protect concrete and steel substrates from attack by corrosive chemicals and physical abuse. The cold-curing version, 25 LT, is specified for similar applications and accommodates installation temperatures as low as 35°F. Because of its fast setting nature, 25 LT is ideal for quick turnaround projects in refrigerated areas.
The water wipeable version 25 WW is especially designed for tile setters when the ability to clean the tile with water is a benefit. See separate product data sheet for more detailed information.
25 and 25 LT are used to construct floors, sumps, trenches, tanks and bleach towers in chemical processing, food & beverage plants; dairies; laboratories; textile, steel and pulp & paper mills. These Sauereisen mortar/setting beds have excellent resistance to strong oxidizing environments, sulfuric acid and some solvents up to 180°F.
All formulations of the NovolaK Epoxy Mortar/Setting Bed provide a strong bond to concrete, brick, tile and other substrates. Used with or without an underlying membrane, these products are an important element of an impermeable system of protection.
