Procedure for Laying Acid Resistant Flooring The
concrete floor needs to be free from any surface
cracks, and the Ievelling needs to be
plain. STAGE 1st In the stage 1st of work is
clean in g of the platform, to remove any loose
particles and to give it a rough fi n is h, for
application of acid proof primer. STAGE 2nd
After the concrete surface is inspected and found
to be free from cracks and defects of any kind,
Primers are applied as indicated above, either
with b rush or with spray. The primed surface is
then allowed to dry until tack free, which under
norm and conditions, will take approximately 6
to 8 hours depending upon the temperature at the
site of application. STAGE 3rd Acid proof
bitumen mastic, being a solid mass shouId be
broken into fairly small pieces. It should be
put into a tar boiler and heated upto a
temperature of 1 25 C - 1 50 C. The molten
mass is then applied by pouring and smoothening
ea layer by trowelling on the horizontal
surfaces. However, for vertica, I concrete or MS
surface, application is carried out by a square
trowel. It is applied in 2 or 3 different coats,
each coat approximately 4 mm thick. Stage 4th
Acid Proof Mortar is prepared by mixing one part
by weight of the acid proof solution with three
parts by weight of acid proof powder. It is then
applied by buttering the edges of acid proof
bricks/tiles and by placing them in a position,
under squeezing action maintaining a g a p of 3
-5 mm between bricks/tiles. Acid proof mortar
should be laid in a manner that it forms a bed
of 6 mm between the bricks and the mastic
bed. STAGE 5th The last stage is filling gaps
between bricks/tiles by appointing/ grouting
material. F or better resistivity to the acid
being stored, the g aps in between must be
filled with CNSL, Furan, or Epoxy. Source
