Aquafin Mortar IC 50 Pound Bag

MORTAR-IC is a cementitious, ready-mixed waterproof repairing and sealing mortar. It consists of rapid setting Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals which resist positive or negative side water pressure.

MORTAR-IC contains active waterproofing chemicals which react with moisture and free lime in the mortar and concrete, creating insoluble crystalline complexes. These crystalline complexes, similar to a gel which grows in the presence of water, block the capillaries of the MORTAR-IC and minor shrinkage cracks, thus preventing water ingress. Chemical activation begins when the MORTAR-IC powder is mixed with water and may take several days to completely block the capillaries depending on ambient temperature and environmental conditions. The waterproofing chemicals remain active for the life of the structure, permanently sealing it from water penetration.
