SILOCHEM ACID RESISTING CEMENT

(SILICATE BASED)

A general purpose cement for acid conditions only resistant to medium constructions of most of the common organic and inorganic acids  except  Hydrofluoric  acid  Recommended  where the concentration  of  the  acid is  high  suitable  for high temperature. Unsuited to aqueous solution alkaline condition.

PREPARATION OF SILOCHEM MORTAR:

1.        Measure 1 part by weight of Silochem solution into a suitable pan.

2.        Add slowly and gradually 3 parts by weight Silochem powder and mix thoroughly to form a smooth
     mortar.

3.        In hot season very large batches of mortar will become stiff quite rapidly therefore, small clean
      batches not exceeding 4 to 8kg. Will be prepared.

4.        The cement mortar has to be used before it starts setting.

APPLICATION OF SILOCHEM CEMENT:

Silochem is used for joining Acid resisting brick in construction of vessel is suited for construction of fume chambers and stacks handling hot dry acid fumes and vapours. It is also used for joining chemical  resisting  stone  ware  pipes.  Silochem  is  the  good  bedding  material for Acid proof brick/tile.

The concentrate surface needed protection should be dried, clean and rough. The bricks or tiles will be  set with silochem cement  over concrete surface applied with a  suitable an impermeable inter liner.

WHEN BEDDING AND JOINTING MATERIALS ARE ONE:

On the treated surface bricks or tiles are bedded to a  thk. of about 6mm and tamp gently with a wooden piece till the paste  squeezes  out of  joints. The paste  that is squeezes  out of the joints should be  removed by trowel  with  good  finishing.  After the mortar of the joint is dried treat the joints with 20% Hydrochloric acid solution by means of brush. Silochem lining should be always in contact with acid and not with water.

When bedding and jointing materials are different.  Spread the Silochem mortar about 5 to 6 mm thick on the back of the  brick,  press  the  brick  on the  bed  leaving  required  space  for  joints between brick or tiles. After bedding mortar is set, fill the joints with specified jointing cements.
