- Handling Characteristics
Blome CP-105 AR is smooth spreading and offers preferred troweling & handling properties. CP-105 AR will hold brick and tile and secure them from slipping while the mortar cures. CP-105 AR cures rapidly and provides an excellent bond to acid brick and glazed tile. This unique material helps to produce quality results and high production rates.
- Job Site Environmental Conditions
Blome CP-105 AR must be applied while ambient temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Blome CP-105 AR components, brick, tile and substrate temperatures must also be maintained in this range. Blome Vinyl Ester Low Temperature Accelerator is available for use when temperatures drop below 50° F. Installations of CP-105 AR should be protected from water and weather during installation and curing.
- Surface Preparation
Brick or tile to be installed with Blome CP-105 AR must be clean, dry and oil free. If brick or tile have been frozen, they must be thawed completely and allowed to dry prior to installation with Blome CP-105 AR. If applied over Liquid or Sheet membranes, these surfaces should be clean and dry prior to installation of Blome CP-105 AR bed joint. These surfaces should be swept clean and be free of dirt, dust, water or other job site contaminants.
- Application Equipment
Blome CP-105 AR is best mixed with a KOL, pail type mixer or in a pail using a drill motor driven paddle blade. This mixing equipment must be clean, dry and free of any contaminants including Portland cement, other mortars or resins. When mixed, CP-105 AR is applied to tile or brick with a pointing or margin trowel.
- Mixing & Application
Add approximately 3.5 - 4.0 parts by weight CP-105 AR Powder to 1.0 part by weight CP-105 Resin. Mix components using a clean, dry mechanical mixer or trowel for a minimum of 2-3 minutes, making sure there are no lumps or dry pockets of powder. The amount of powder may be adjusted, up or down, to achieve desired consistency for specific uses. More powder will produce a thicker consistency for vertical or overhead applications. Using a clean, dry pointing or margin trowel, butter tile evenly on 2 or 3 sides. Slide buttered tile into place, squeezing excess mortar from joints and striking off. Mortar joint thickness should be 1/8” to 1/4”.
- Clean Up
All tools, mixing equipment, gloves and application equipment should be cleaned up immediately using a citrus or biodegradable cleanser, with hot water, while the material is still wet. If material begins to cure, solvent-based cleaners will be required for removal.
- Mixing Ratio
The use ratio of Powder to Resin is 4.0 pbw to 1.0 pbw for installing glazed tile. Use a mix ratio of 3.5 pbw to 1.0 pbw for acid brick installations requiring tighter joints or for tuckpointing.

Safety & Health
- Safety Precautions
Blome CP-105 AR Powder, Resin and mixes of them present various health hazards if handled improperly. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet before working with this product. CP-105 AR Powder contains silica and peroxide powders and CP-105 AR Resin is flammable and will cause eye injury and irritate skin. Wear respirator suitable for silica and peroxide powders, safety glasses with side shields, gloves and long sleeve shirts to prevent all contact with skin and eyes. After working with Blome CP-105 AR, wash thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking or other activities.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
Blome CP-105 AR is supplied as a two-component product, with a filler powder and a resin. CP-105 AR Powder (Part A) is packaged in 70 lb. Bags and CP-105 Resin (Part B) is packaged in 40 lb. pails or 450 lb. Drums.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Shelf life for CP-105 AR components is up to nine (9) months if stored below 70°F at 50% relative humidity. Keep CP-105 AR components tightly sealed in original containers until ready for use. Store components in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight on pallets at temperatures between 50°F - 80°F. For maximum shelf life, protect bags of Powder from water, humidity and weather, and keep Resin out of direct sunlight while in storage and on job site.
