Underwater Mortar
Rotafix Underwater Mortar is a polymer modified cementitious mortar that is capable of curing underwater.
The powder, when mixed with water, produces a mortar which is wash-out resistant and waterproof.
The material develops an early strength and can be used above or below the waterline. Rotafix Underwater Mortar can be used at low temperatures or when a rapid gain in early strength is required at 20 °C.

Mortar that is wash-out resistant and waterproof
Rotafix Underwater Mortar develops an early strength, and can be used above or below the waterline.
Rotafix's strengthening techniques were invaluable to the project by ensuring the complex remained open throughout the repair works and the aesthetic of the exposed timber frame was retained.

How to use
Preperation
All necessary preparatory work must be completed before the mortars are mixed. Ensure that all surfaces with which the mortars come into contact are clean, free of contamination and marine growth.
Mixing
Rotafix Underwater Mortar powders are mixed with water using a suitable container, a pneumatic or electric power tool (1kw), and a Rotafix Paddle. Only mix amounts of mortar that can be
successfully applied in 20 minutes. Mixing by hand is NOT recommended.
Add 4.5 litres of water to the container or mixer. Pour 25kg of powder into the water while mixing. After all the powder has been added, mix for 1 minute. The mortar is then ready to use.
Alternatively, small amounts of the material can be prepared by slowly adding the powder to a quantity of water and mixing to the required consistency.
Application
Mix the mortar powders with water to a good mortar consistency, and wait a few minutes for the mortar to gel. With the use of a gloved hand and fingers, form a CONTACT COAT: RUB the mortar
onto and well into any cracks or cavities, and completely cover the substrate.
A contact coat applied properly will reduce voids at the bondline and promote intimate contact between the repair material and the concrete. It will also prevent peeling and slumping on vertical and soffit substrates. On top of the contact coat, use a trowel or steel float to apply the material and bring up the profile of the surrounding concrete. For ease of application of the mortars above the waterline, and to remove stickiness, keep gloves and all implements wet. Use a handheld water
spray to wet mortar surfaces, and to produce smooth and attractive finishes.
