Description

GAYFANE, the standard corrosion-proof epoxy resin base cement is non-porous, thermo-setting and nontoxic in nature. When set and hardened it become extremely tough and lasting. The resultant mass is dense impermeable and resistant to most of the strong acids, mild oxidizing agents, solvents, salts, oils and weak alkaline solutions it has appreciable plasticity as compared to most of the cements based in resins is also excellent for resisting thermal shocks and vibrations. This cements possesses a strong adhesion to steel tanks, aluminum lined tanks and aluminum vessels, and other metal equipments. GAYFANE is not recommended for strong alkalies, oxidizing agents and applications where the temperature exceeds 100°c. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES (when completely set) Colour: White / Brown Density 1lbs / cu. ft.: 106 Compressive strength: 500 kg/cm2 Percentage of water absorption: 0.5 Temperature resistance: 100°C CHEMICAL RESISTANCE. Resistant to non-oxidizing acids, alkalis, salts and solvents. PREPARATION OF GAYFANE MORTAR GAYFANE ready mortar is prepared by combining one part of syrup and to 6 parts of powder and catalyst to form a workable mixture Mixing Ratio:- Ready Mix Mortar 6 pbw : 1 pbw Catalyst INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Transfer calculated quantity of GAYFANE liquid in a shallow mixing pan.. 2. Add 1% hardener to the liquid and the desired amount of GAYFANE powder and mix thoroughly to get a smooth mortar of desired consistency. 3. Mix thoroughly till the mortar is free from lumps and entrapped air. 4. Before preparing further batches in the same pan make sure that the GAYFANE mortar of the previous batch is removed from the pan. APPLICATION. Buttered GAYFANE mortar on acid proof bricks using general brick laying method. GAYFANE is specially suited for the construction of monolithic lining by their very nature produce a joint less structure which claimants the necessity of using tiles and bricks. Monolithic lining
