- Application Of The Carbo-Korez Mortar
Brick Joints : Install the mortar using conventional bricklaying techniques. Apply the mortar to two sides of the brick forming a “V” profile. Place the brick on the setting bed and slide it into place to attain a 1/8” (3.2 mm.) wide joint. Strike excess mortar before the mortar begins to set.
Bed Joint : Apply the mortar with a 3/16” V-notched trowel held at a 45 degree angle. Place a sufficient amount of mortar to provide a continuous bond coat to the specified thickness. Do not apply more mortar than can be covered in 10 to 15 minutes at 75of (24°C).

Carbo-Korez® Mortar can stain red shale brick during installation. Paraffin wax can be applied to the surface face of the brick to eliminate staining. The wax coating and excess mortar are removed from the surface of the brick by steam cleaning. Use a minimum 60 psi. nozzle pressure for cleaning. Allow 24 hours at 65of (18°C) or 12 hours at 85of (29°C) minimum cure time before steam cleaning.
- Typical Uses
Carbo-Korez® Mortar is recommended for floors, trenches, sumps, containment dikes, process vessels, storage tanks, scrubber towers and dryers requiring the chemical, physical or thermal resistance of chemical resistant brick construction.
- Mixing Of The Carbo-Korez Mortar
Stir the contents of the resin container prior to blending. Mix components by hand using a clean, dry, plastic or metal container and a mason’s trowel.
150 lb. (68.0 kg.) Unit
The following mixing instructions are for a batch size of 6 lb. (2.7 kg.):
- Place 2 lb. (907 g.) or 26 fluid ounces (0.8 liters) of Carbo-Korez® Mortar Resin in the 5-gallon capacity mechanical mixer.
- Add approximately 4 lb. (1.8 kg.) or 78 fluid ounces (2.3 liters) of Carbo-Korez® Mortar Powder.
- Mix the combined components for approximately two minutes or until all the powder is thoroughly dispersed.
Note : Proportionally increase or decrease the resin and powder quantities to attain larger or smaller batch sizes. For larger batch sizes, a KOL type mixer with a 5-gallon capacity may be used. The mixing speed should be between 60 and 75 RPM.
Note : The amount of the powder may be varied slightly to obtain the desired consistency. Decreasing the powder component will decrease the estimated coverage and will increase the cure time of the mortar. THE POWDER MUST BE WITHIN 5%, BY WEIGHT, of THE SUGGESTED AMOUNT.
- Cleaning Of Tools and Equipment
Solvents, such as methyl ethyl ketone, toluene or xylene will remove the materials referred to in this Data Sheet from mixing tools and equipment if cleaning is done immediately after use. Fully hardened material will have to be removed by mechanical means. Dispose of residues and wastes in accordance with the directions in the Material Safety Data Sheets and government regulations.
- Method of Installation
Carbo-Korez® Mortar is installed using conventional bricklaying techniques. Carbo-Korez® Mortar can be used as a mortar for chemical resistant brick construction, as a bed joint over an impervious membrane or with RED FURNANE® SETTING BED, Data Sheet 5-55PI.
