Cretex DPM Mortar

Typical Uses

Cretex DPM Mortar is ideal for almost any floor repair and is particularly good for levelling large areas. It is ideal for use in factories, aircraft hangars, railway maintenance depots, food factories, car workshops, engineering plants, and many other areas.

Suitable Substrates

Cretex DPM Mortar may be applied to most hard/porous building materials including concrete, breeze block, brick and stone.

Packaging

Cretex DPM Mortar is supplied as a three part epoxy mortar in a 30kg unit.

Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.

Application temperature: 10°C – 25°C

Coverage: 30kg unit is 3m² at 5mm nominal thickness.

Curing times:

Initial curing takes place within 6-8 hours depending on temperature.
Full strength is achieved after 7 days.

Number of parts supplied: 3

Mixing

Having fully prepared the substrate, add the whole of Part B to the whole of Part A and mix thoroughly for at least 3 minutes. For best results use a
slow speed drill with a mixing paddle. Finally, pour the liquid into the large bucket and add the aggregate to the desired consistency.

ENSURE THOROUGH MIXING AS AN UNMIXED PRODUCT WILL RESULT IN A POOR OR NON-CURE SITUATION.

Application

Apply by trowel, or by hand for small isolated areas, wearing suitable protective gloves.
Being resin-rich, Cretex DPM Mortar has a typically sticky consistency and smoothing may be assisted by wetting the trowel using Polycote Solvent
Cleaner as a release agent.
If when trowelling the mortar the texture remains ‘open’ this can be easily ‘closed’ by slightly tamping the surface with the trowel. This can provide an extremely hard wearing and completely sealed surface.
For vertical repairs – where step nosings or expansion joint edges have broken away, the vertical face of the repair material should be supported to prevent slumping.
Suitable sized wooden shuttering should be covered with polythene to reduce adhesion, and should be removed as soon as the material is firm.

Pot Life and Curing Times

The pot life of Cretex DPM Mortar once mixed is approx. 15 minutes.

Important: If the mix is not used within the pot life it will generate heat and may generate fumes through the reaction process.
Can be over-coated after 4 hours or once surface has lost tackiness.

Initial curing takes place within 6-8 hours depending on temperature.
Full strength is achieved after 7 days.

Application Temperature

Normal application temperature is between 10˚C and 25˚C.

Application Thickness

Cretex DPM Mortar can be laid to any thickness, however when feather edging, add less aggregate to give a more resin rich formulation.

Coverage

The coverage rate per 30kg unit is 3m² at 5mm nominal thickness.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment should be cleaned whilst resin is still wet with Solvent Cleaner.
Hands and skin should be cleaned immediately with Organic Hand Cleaner.

Shelf Life and Storage

Shelf life in unopened containers is approximately 12 months subject to conditions of storage.
Store in a cool, dry, frost-free environment away from sources of ignition, sealing the surface for protection against oil and other spillages.

Before using this product, please ensure you have received and read carefully both the Hazard Label applied to the container and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.
