tuffset G Specialist Rapid Mortar - Specialist bedding, bonding and jointing
Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
A specialist, high-performance multi-purpose cementitious paving mortar with rapid strength gain. Used for top to bottom reinstatement and the construction of high impact areas such as traffic tables.
Application
It can be used effectively as a bedding primer and grout, suitable for emergency repairs to modular paving, concrete and filling around gulley and manhole frames where Steintec's 'tuffset 60' has been used for bedding and re-setting ironwork in carriageways.
Description
A high-performance hydraulic mortar with rapid strength gain and enhanced cold weather strength gain characteristics. Can be mixed to Steintec's recommendations for use as a jointing mortar and as a priming/bonding mortar. tuffset G combined with Steintec tuffgrit aggregate produces a high strength gain bedding mortar.
A modular pavement constructed using tuffset G for the bedding mortar, the priming mortar and as the jointing mortar: can be trafficked in three hours.
Features and benefits:
- Capable of withstanding heavy trafficking within three hours.
- The absence of polymers, chemical admixtures and resin binders allows the mortar to be readily cleaned to avoid residual staining.
- The product meets and exceeds BS 7533 requirements for low elastic modulus, high adhesion bond (achieving 3MPa rather than the requirement of 2MPa), compressive strength and all-round performance.
- Final strength is unaffected by rapid early strength gain, and the stiffness modulus is similar to other products in the tuffbau range.
- Declaration of Performance (DoP) EN 1504-3: ZA.1a.
For bedding mortar and emergency concrete repair, mix the product with tuffgrit aggregate; otherwise, for bonding and jointing mortar, mix with water.
