DESCRIPTION:

FX-250 Rapid Hardening, Two Component Fiber Reinforced Mortar is composed of polymer resin, selected plasticizers, cement, synthetic fibers and aggregates. FX-250 is conveniently packaged in a two part unit to produce the ultimate in bond, compressive strength, and impact resistant properties for a repair mortar.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Preportioned packaging assures a consistent, easy to place mix.
  • Synthetic fibers disperse readily throughout the mix increasing strength and reducing shrinkage cracking.
  • Exhibits superior adhesion and high abrasion resistance, achieved from high polymer content and special plasticizers.
  • Develops high compressive strengths in two hours.
  • High early strengths permit acceptance of vehicular traffic in two hours.
  • When depth exceeds 2 inches, up to 25 lbs (11.34 kilo) of 3/8" coarse aggregate may be added per unit of FX-250.

WHERE TO USE:

FX-250 is ideal for use in bridges, parking garages, walkways, tunnels, floor overlays, and spot patching. It can be used as thin as 1/2" in thickness.

APPLICATION:

Curing compound is not required as material will surface seal itself; however, provide a 2 hour wet cure whenever possible. Clean tools and equipment with water. For ultimate bonding, use FX-752 Bonding Agent.

PACKAGING:

Part A is an emulsified co-polymer, packaged in a 1 gallon (3.79 L) plastic jug (8.5 lbs). Part B is a blend of special aggregates, cements and fibers packaged in a multi-wall bag (50 lbs). Total Weight - 58.5 lbs.( 26.54 Kilo)

COVERAGE:

Each 58.5 lb (26.54 Kilo) unit will yield approximately 0.40 cu. ft. of mortar.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Masonry surfaces should be clean and damp, but free of standing water.

MIXING:

Shake Part A (polymer liquid) thoroughly before adding Part B. Place 0.75 gal. (2.84 L) of polymer into a mortar pan then, add powder slowly while mixing. If a more fluid consistency is required, add additional polymer liquid to mix. Do not over mix.

LIMITATIONS:

Protect Part A from freezing; if frozen, discard. Store in cool, dry place at 40° F (4.4°C) .or higher Lowest application temperature is 40° F (4.4°C).

Shelf Life: 6 months minimum in original container

SHELF LIFE:

One (1) year in original container

CAUTION:

FX-250 contains cement and a polymer which may cause skin irritation in some cases. Cleanliness is required. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with water. If contact with eyes occurs, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and contact a physician. Powdered materials such as cement, sand or FX-250 require OSHA approved respirators and masks.
