Nitomortar F4 Fillers - Technical Details and Specifications
Product Overview
Nitomortar F4 Fillers are graded silica sand fillers supplied in 20kg packaging (product code: FC312060-20KG) designed for formulating epoxy mortars and screeds on site. These fillers are mixed with Nitomortar 903 epoxy binder to create epoxy mortars of varying consistency for concrete repair applications.
Material Composition and Properties
Physical Characteristics
Nitomortar F4 Fillers are graded silica sand that has been cleaned and dried. The material exhibits the following properties:
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Colour | Natural sand |
| Grain Shape | Round |
| Particle Size (Nominal) | 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm |
| Classification | Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Hazard Free* |
| RCS Content | < 0.1% |
*Classified as not hazardous for RCS in accordance with Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals.
Design Criteria and Mixing Proportions
Nitomortar F4 Fillers are mixed with Nitomortar 903 binder in specific proportions to achieve different consistencies and performance characteristics:
| Binder (Litres) | Fillers (Litres) | Fillers (Kg) | Yield (Litres) | Consistency | 7-Day Compressive Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2.95 | 2.4 | Fluid paste | 76 MPa |
| 1 | 3 | 4.42 | 3.2 | Stiff paste | 56 MPa |
| 1 | 4 | 5.90 | 4.0 | Trowellable | 50 MPa |
| 1 | 5 | 7.37 | 5.0 | Dry mortar | 45 MPa |
Primary Applications
Uses
Nitomortar F4 Fillers are used to:
- Mix with Nitomortar 903 epoxy binder to produce epoxy screeds and mortars of varying consistency
- Repair concrete surfaces prior to application of subsequent epoxy coatings
- Achieve various mortar consistencies for coving, ramps, patches, and general repairs
- Create trowel floor applications when mixed with Nitoflor N binder
Key Advantages
- Simple mix designs for producing various epoxy mortars
- Chemically inert material providing stability and durability
- RCS Hazard Free classification, reducing health and safety concerns
- Versatile consistency options for different application requirements
- High compressive strength ranging from 45 to 76 MPa depending on mix ratio
Application Instructions
Mixing Procedure
- Mix the required amount of Nitomortar 903 according to the coverage section specifications
- Add the required amount of Nitomortar F4 Fillers to achieve the desired consistency
- Use a forced-action mixer for proper blending
- Mix at slow speed (400-500 rpm) in a suitably sized drum
- Employ appropriate equipment such as a 120/140mm × 600mm helical mixing paddle fitted to a heavy-duty 1600W mixer
For detailed application instructions, refer to the Nitomortar 903 technical data sheet.
Supply and Packaging
Product Code: FC312060-20KG
Package Size: 20 kilograms
Coverage and Yield
Coverage figures are theoretical. Practical coverage will be reduced due to:
- Wastage factors
- Variety of substrate conditions
- Nature of repair areas
Refer to the Design Criteria section for specific yield calculations based on mixing proportions.
Storage Requirements
- Store in dry location in original packaging
- Protect from moisture exposure
- Maintain proper conditions to preserve product quality
Safety and Documentation
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Technical Data Sheet (TDS) are available from the Fosroc website. Users must:
- Read the SDS and TDS carefully prior to use
- Review application and performance data, which may change over time
- Contact Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26 in Australia) or a doctor in emergencies
Product Disclaimer
This Technical Data Sheet summarizes the best available knowledge regarding product composition, use, and application. Users should carefully review the TDS and consider how the product will be used in conjunction with other products and the type of surfaces to which it will be applied. Application or performance data may change from time to time.
