Properties of the Adhesive used in MORTARLOC
MORTARLOC is manufactured utilising two side plates, generally 1.2mm in thickness, sandwiching a Neoprene infill in between.
The thickness of the side plates is normally determined by the metal being used, and the subsequent installation surrounds and scenario. Thicker or thinner side plates can be used on request.
MORTARLOC is manufactured in four standard metals: Aluminium, Brass, Stainless Steel and Zinc.
The outstanding feature of the MORTARLOC Expansion Joint is that, unlike other available materials, there are no separate anchors required to hold the joint in place, The anchors are part of the existing side-plate, and are simply bent out to 45° during installation, holding them in the mortar bed.
MORTARLOC and BATEX Expansions Joints are not mechanical movement joints and should only be installed where limited movement within the floor covering is expected.
One of the major reasons for movement is temperature fluctuation caused by either seasonal change, failure or disconnection of airconditioning systems within closed buildings or sudden downpours in tropical locations. All of which may result in thermal expansion or contraction between 0.003mm and 0.008mm per metre per degree centigrade temperature fluctuation. For basic calculations an average factor of 0.006mm per metre per degree centigrade is acceptable.
Neoprene is universally recognised as having excellent resistance to deterioration from ozone and weathering, as well as high physical strength.
*Please note that Neoprene can slightly discolour under extreme UV exposure. For more information don't hesitate to contact us via e-mail, phone or fax.
MORTARLOC can be custom made to specification i.e. radial, sigle-sided or mutliple Neoprene adhesion.
