DESCRIPTION:

FX-70-8 DP Underwater Mortar is a rapid hardening mortar designed to be applied underwater (salt or fresh). FX-70-8 DP is for hand packing or placing. It contains special agents that hold the matrix together in water (non-water separable). FX-70-8 DP requires merely the addition of mixing water at the job site. FX-70-8 DP meets the New Jersey DOT Spec 919.12 Type II suitable for use underwater.

HOW TO USE:

All deteriorated concrete should be removed by waterblasting or chipping to sound concrete. FX-70-8 DP Underwater Mortar can be mixed with up to 1.25 gallons (3.8 L) of water per 50 lb. (23 kg.) bag, and will produce thixotropic, non-shrinking grout. Be sure temperature after mixing is no less than 50°F. Apply immediately after mixing. Set time in air is 6 minutes. Higher temperatures will speed set time.

LIMITATIONS:

FX-70-8 DP Underwater Mortar should not be used at temperatures below freezing.

COVERAGE:

Each 50 lb. (23 kg.) bag will yield approximately .40 cu. ft. (11,326 cm²) of grouting mortar at a pourable consistency.
