Confil Mortar
General Purpose Polyester Mortar
Description
An extremely versatile two pack general purpose polyester mortar which exhibits a very fast set and rapid strength gain surpassing the
average strength of concrete within 1 hour. Ideal for small general repairs where the rapid set allows the minimum of disruption. Confil
Mortar is designed to comply with the requirements of EN1504 Part 3 Class R3.

Advantages

 Quick curing, high early compressive, flexural and tensile

strength.

of gloves and suitable barrier cream is recommended.
Care should be taken not to mix more than can be used within the
setting time of the material.
Limitations

Application Instructions For use below 5oC consult our technical department.

If formwork is used a suitable silicone or wax based release agent

should be used to avoid the sticking of the mortar. The mixed Confil Technical Support
mortar should be trowelled firmly into place to ensure good
adhesion, on dense substrates the mix should be made more resin Through our technical department and laboratories we can offer

It is recommended that the maximum thickness of 15mm per

application should not be exceeded. In addition where multiple
applications are required a rough surface between layers should be
made to provide a mechanical key.

Clean all tools and equipment after use with Nuwash.
