- Handling Characteristics
Blome CP-11M/HAR offers excellent trowelling and handling characteristics, with sufficient body and thixotropy to bed tile in place and secure them from slipping or sliding while mortar cures. CP-11M/HAR is a single component product that is easily mixed with water when used. CP11M/HAR utilizes a unique hardening system that cures rapidly and provides a superior bond to brick and tile.
- Job Site Environmental Conditions
Blome CP-11M/HAR must be applied while ambient temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. CP-11M/HAR components, brick, tile and substrate temperatures must also be maintained in this range. It is critical that installations of CP-11M/HAR be protected from water and weather during installation and curing. Curing rates can be accelerated by elevating temperatures during installation and while curing.
- Surface Preparation
Brick and tile to be installed with Blome CP-11M/HAR must be clean, dry and oil free. If brick or tile has been frozen, they must be thawed completely and dried prior to installation with Blome CP-11M/HAR. Applications on steel substrates should be installed over clean, blasted and oil free steel substrates. Steel substrates must be abrasive blasted to achieve a commercial blast profile.
- Application Equipment
Blome CP-11M/HAR 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, resins, etc. When mixed, CP-11M/HAR is applied to brick, tile & substrate with pointing or margin trowel.
- Mixing & Application
- Add approximately 6.0 parts by weight CP-11M/HAR Powder to 1.0 part by weight water
- Do not overwet mixed mortar, when water is initially mixed with powder, mix will appear too dry. Continue mixing for 1-2 minutes and mortar will “wet out” to creamy consistency
- Mix using a clean, dry mechanical mixer for a minimum of 1-2 minutes, making sure there are no lumps or dry pockets of powder
- Using a clean, dry pointing or margin trowel, butter brick or tile evenly on 4 or 5 sides. Slide buttered brick or tile into place squeezing excess mortar from joints and striking off
- Maximum mortar joint thickness should be 1/8”
- Clean Up
All tools, mixing equipment, gloves and application equipment should be cleaned up immediately using hot, soapy water. Any material that is allowed to cure prior to clean up should be chiseled or chipped off, then dirty items should be soaked in hot, soapy water overnight and then cleaned and dried.

Safety & Health
- Safety Precautions
Blome CP-11M/HAR Powder, and mixes of it with water, presents various health hazards if handled improperly. CP-11M/HAR Powder contains silica dust and when mixed, CP-11M/HAR mortar is an alkaline solution that will severely burn eyes and irritate skin. Wear respirator suitable for silica dust, safety glasses with side shields, gloves and long sleeve shirts to prevent all contact with skin and eyes. After working with Blome CP11M/HAR, wash thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking or other activities.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
Blome CP-11M/HAR is supplied as a single component, dry powder product that is mixed with water at the time of use to reach a trowellable mortar consistency. Blome CP-11M/HAR Powder is packaged in 50 lb. bags.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
- Shelf life is six (6) months at 70°F and 50% relative humidity
- In high humidity environments shorter shelf life should be expected
- If CP11M/HAR powder begins to harden or lump in bags, be certain to break up all softer lumps of material prior to use
- Material that is beyond shelf life will harden in bags and should be discarded
- Keep CP-11M/HAR Powder tightly sealed in original containers until ready for use
- Store in a cool, dry place, on pallets at temperatures between 50°F - 90°F
- If powder is stored in high humidity, shelf life will be reduced.
