1、Designation: C399 98 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Practice forUse of Chemical-Resistant Resin Mortars1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C399; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides information on the handling andproper use of chemical-resistant resin mortars such as thosecovered in Specifi
3、cation C395.NOTE 1Resin mortars and grouts are differentiated as follows: resingrouts are applied to the joints, generally14 in. (6 mm) wide, after thebrick or tile are set in place (grouting or tile setters method). Resinmortars are troweled onto the brick or tile, generally in a18 in. (3 mm)thickn
4、ess, before the brick are laid in place (buttering or bricklayersmethod). Refer to Practice C723.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not consider

In all cases, storage shall be ina dry place with containers tightly closed and away from openflames. Some resins
9、should be stored in a cool place attemperatures as low as 40 to 50F (5 to 10C) to extend theirshelf life. Powder or resin that has become wet or otherwisecontaminated shall not be used.5. Hazards5.1 Consult manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheet forprecautions to be taken when using chemical-resis

Equipment6.1 For hand mixing, a shallow mortar box should beprovided. A suggested size is 2 ft2by 4 in. (600 mm2by 100mm) deep.6.2 E
11、quipment for power-mixing ranges from small mixers,such as described in Practice C305, to simple beaters used onlow-speed motors. A suitable container is a round-bottom panor a 5-gal (20-L) pail, which is commonly available.6.3 Equipment may be required for heating or coolingmaterials as conditions

Mixing7.1 For hand mixing, measure the liquid into the mortar box,then stir the powder in gradually, working out all lumps and airbubbles. Mix with a masons trowel or other suitable tool.7.2 For power mixing, measure the liquid into the con

Consult the manufacturer if variations in proportionsare being considered.7.4 Batch size should be varied according to temperature. Inhot weather, batches may be as small as 10
17、lb (5 kg), and incold weather they may be increased to as much as 50 lb (23kg).7.5 No additives such as sand, portland cement, or watershould be added.7.6 Containers of resins and powders should be closed whennot being used.8. Handling8.1 Resin mortars cure very slowly at low temperatures. Ifwork mu
18、st be carried on at temperatures below 60F (16C),chemical-resistant construction units should be heated and thearea enclosed and heated to obtain proper cure. However,certain resin mortars can be used satisfactorily at lowertemperatures.8.2 Mortar should be transferred immediately from themixing ves
19、sel and spread in a thin layer on the mortar pan, asmortar heats up during setting and thick layers or large massesretain this heat. Retained heat shortens the working time.8.3 Mixed mortar that has become unworkable shall not beretempered with resin liquid but shall be discarded.8.4 When resin mort
20、ars are to be exposed to temperaturesbelow 60F (16C) or above 90F (32C) during mixing,application, or setting, special precautions are required. Themanufacturer should be consulted for recommendations.9. Laying Chemical-Resistant Brick or Tile9.1 Brick and tile are covered by Specifications C279,C41
21、0, and C980.9.2 The brick or tile shall be dry. Minimum and maximumtemperature of the brick or tile at the time of use shall be 50 to90F (10 to 32C). Sufficient time is required to establishtemperature equilibrium within the brick or tile.9.3 Walls with No Sulfur Back-JointSpread a bed-joint ofmorta

(6 mm) thickness of mortar.Press the brick or tile into the bed and against the wall andadjacent unit until the joint in each is as near to18 in. (3 mm)th
23、ick as good workmanship will permit. Trim off excess mortarand return it to the mortar board.9.4 Walls with Sulfur Back-JointSpread a bed-joint asdescribed in 9.3. Butter one end of each brick or tile and lay it14 in. (6 mm) away from the wall. After each course has beenlaid, pour the back-joint wit
24、h molten sulfur cement in accor-dance with the Practice C386.9.5 Floors With Bed-JointSpread the mortar on the floorto approximately18-in. (3-mm) thickness. Spread approxi-mately14 in. (6 mm) thickness of mortar on two adjacent edgesof the brick or tile. Press into the bed and against the startingcu
25、rb or brick until the joint is as near to18 in. (3 mm) thick asgood workmanship will permit. Trim off the excess mortar andreturn it to the mortar board.10. Cleaning Mortar From Chemical-Resistant Brick orTile10.1 Various compounds and application methods are avail-able from mortar manufacturers for
26、 masking brick or tile tokeep mortar from adhering to them. Such compounds may beremoved by steam or water after the joints have hardened.10.2 The manufacturer of the mortar should be consulted forthe method of cleaning mortar from the face of the brick or tilebefore hardening, since the cure of cer
27、tain mortars is affectedby contact with water.11. Cleaning the Equipment11.1 Clean equipment according to manufacturers recom-mendations. Remove hardened mortars from metal equipmentby sandblasting. Most solvents used for cleaning areflammable, and therefore precautions should be taken.(Warning, see
28、 1.3 and 5.2.)12. Curing12.1 Resin mortars are generally formulated to cure readyfor use in 24 to 48 h at normal temperatures. The manufacturershould be consulted for details.12.2 Methods are available for speeding the cure of resinmortars. Consult the manufacturer for details.12.3 The construction
29、should be protected from weather andwater, and from mechanical damage until the mortar is cured.13.
