Potassium Silicate Anti-Acid Mortar (PSM™190) is a type of mortar that utilizes potassium silicate for acid resistance. It is specifically designed to install and bond acid-resistant tiles and bricks. This mortar can withstand high acid concentrations and corrosive substances such as HCl, H2SO4, and HNO3, even at elevated temperatures. However, it should be noted that the protective coating of potassium silicate anti-acid mortar is susceptible to water erosion. Therefore, it is unsuitable for surfaces exposed to rainwater or areas close to water or alkalis. In such cases, alternative protective coating options are recommended when dealing with diluted mortar exposed to acids.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Potassium Silicate Anti Acid Mortar

Over time, all materials, including natural stones and manufactured materials like concrete, are prone to surface damage caused by environmental and atmospheric factors. To ensure their longevity, proper protection should be applied, considering the specific type of corrosion and the factors contributing to it. The key factors leading to corrosion include physical or mechanical stress, temperature variations, chemical exposure, electrochemical reactions, microbiological influences, and electrical factors. Fortunately, advancements in the industry have led to the development of specialized protective coatings tailored to address these factors.
The variety and breadth of available solutions are vast, emphasizing the need to assess the unique conditions of each project. It is important to note that a single universal solution for all projects would indicate a lack of expertise on the part of the provider. At Afzir Retrofitting Company, our experts understand this complexity and are dedicated to offering tailored solutions for implementing protective coatings. We thoroughly examine the specifications of each project, as well as the requirements and requests of our clients, to ensure the most suitable protective measures are implemented.
One such solution is the application of potassium silicate anti-acid mortar, which involves using an impermeable membrane layer explicitly selected for the conditions of your project. This protective layer helps stabilize the mortar on metal or concrete surfaces, preventing the penetration of acids and bases into the underlying substrate. Afzir Company can provide various rubber lining systems or PVC vinyl ester resins as suitable membrane options for your project.

Potassium Silicate Anti-Acid Mortar is a high-performance, specialized mortar providing exceptional acid resistance and surface protection. This unique formulation utilizes potassium silicate as a key component, offering superior durability and chemical resistance against highly corrosive substances such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3).
This mortar is engineered explicitly for installing and bonding acid-resistant tiles and bricks. It is an ideal choice for applications in industries where exposure to high acid concentrations and corrosive environments is prevalent. It excels in environments with elevated operating temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance under extreme conditions.
The protective coating of potassium silicate anti-acid mortar forms a robust barrier against acid attacks, effectively preventing acid penetration and minimizing surface damage. Its exceptional resistance to corrosion helps maintain the integrity and longevity of the underlying surfaces, including metal and concrete.
Please note that while potassium silicate anti-acid mortar offers exceptional acid resistance, it is unsuitable for surfaces exposed to washing with rainwater or in the vicinity of water or alkalis. In such cases, alternative protective coating options should be considered. Our team of experts at [Your Company Name] can provide guidance and recommendations for alternative solutions based on your specific project requirements.
Choose potassium silicate anti-acid mortar for reliable and durable acid protection, ensuring the longevity and integrity of your surfaces in high-corrosion environments.

Application Instructions Potassium Silicate Anti Acid Mortar

Surface preparation:

Ensure smooth, clean, and dry surfaces free from dust, compounds, and contaminants. Fill large holes and level uneven areas using suitable mortar or putty. Mechanical methods like sandblasting or shot blasting can be used for open-pore surfaces.

Performance:

Apply PSMTM190 anti-acid mortar with a trowel up to a maximum thickness of 5 mm per layer. For thicker applications, layering is necessary. Mix ingredients within 30 minutes and strictly adhere to ratios. Afzir company can guide necessary adjustments.

Mixing Instructions:

Shake each part, and mix Part B into Part A using a slow-speed mixer for two minutes until uniform. For smaller volumes, use a ratio of 1 part B to 3 parts A. Avoid air entrapment during mixing. The recommended application rate is 4 kg per square meter.

Limitations:

Minimum execution thickness is 2 to 4 mm. Avoid application at temperatures below +5 degrees Celsius. Do not dilute the mortar with solvent, as it reduces its resistance. The substrate concrete should be aged 21 to 28 days, depending on processing and drying conditions.
