SpecPoxy Mortar

SpecPoxy Mortar is a three-component, 100% solids, multi-purpose epoxy mortar designed for industrial and commercial applications such as warehouse floors, ramps, loading docks, and rebuilding joint nosings. This system combines a high-quality epoxy binder with an engineered blend of graded aggregates to provide superior trowel-ability, compressive and tensile strength, impact, and chemical resistance.

  • Superior bond, compressive, and flexural strength
  • Ideal for high-traffic areas like loading docks and ramps.
  • Pre-measured proportions with a long pot life ensure easy installation.
  • Dries to a light gray mortar color.
  • Trowel-able consistency tailored for horizontal applications.
  • Exceptional abrasion, chemical, and impact resistance.
  • Moisture insensitive and stain resistant.

Coverage

  • A 1/2 cubic foot unit at a 1/4” thickness covers approximately 24 sq-ft.

Packaging

  • 1/2 cubic foot unit
    • Component A: 1/2 gal
    • Component B: 1/2 gal
    • Component C: 1-50 lb. bag
  •  1.0 cubic foot unit
    • Component A: 1 gal
    • Component B:1 gal
    • Component C: 2– 50 lb. bags

Shelf Life

Store SpecPoxy Mortar in its original containers in a dry environment between 45-95F. The shelf life of properly stored SpecPoxy Mortar in unopened, undamaged containers is two years from date of manufacture.

Standards

  • Epoxy Mortar: Material shall be a 100% solids, ASTM
    C881, Type III, Grade 1, multi-purpose trowelable epoxy mortar equal to SpecPoxy Mortar.

Surface Preparation

  • Cleaning the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dirt, laitance, curing compounds, and other foreign materials. Mechanical abrasion or sandblasting is recommended to remove contaminants and create a suitable bonding profile.

Mixing and Application

  • Mixing Instructions: Ensure air, material, and surface temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Precondition materials to approximately 70°F for easier mixing. Mix components separately before combining. Mix one part of component A with one part of component B by volume for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add part C (aggregate) to the mixed components, ensuring all aggregates are thoroughly coated.
  • Placing the Mortar: Apply the mixed epoxy mortar immediately, or within 30-40 minutes, to the prepared surface using a trowel or rake. Use SpecChem Solvent 100 as a finishing aid for a smooth finish. For increased texture and improved traction, broadcast additional dry sand into the wet mortar immediately after application.

Curing

  • Curing: SpecPoxy Mortar cures to a light gray mortar color, ready for foot traffic in 12 hours and vehicle traffic in 24 hours.

Cleaning

  • Tool Cleaning: Clean tools and equipment immediately with an appropriate solvent before the material hardens.
