IS 4832 Part 2 (1969) specifies requirements for resin-type chemical resistant mortars used primarily for bonding chemical-resistant masonry units such as acid-proof bricks or tiles. It covers formulations involving phenolic, furane, epoxy, and polyester resins combined with suitable fillers and catalysts to produce mortars resistant to non-oxidizing mineral acids and inorganic alkalies. This standard is essential for engineers and construction professionals involved in chemical-resistant flooring, tank linings, and industrial installations requiring durable, impermeable joints.

Frequently Asked
Types of Resins Specified in IS 4832 Part 2 for Resin-Type Chemical Resistant Mortars:
The standard identifies four main resin types used in chemical-resistant mortars:
| Resin Type | Key Characteristics (per Table 1, Clause 3.1) |
|---|---|
| Phenolic | Working time: 20 min; Flexural strength ≥ 75 kg/cm²; Compressive strength ≥ 350 kg/cm² |
| Furane | Same physical requirements as phenolic resin |
| Epoxy | Higher strength: Flexural ≥ 150 kg/cm²; Compressive ≥ 500 kg/cm² |
| Polyester | Same as epoxy resin in strength requirements |
This ensures durability and chemical resistance for bonding chemical-resistant masonry units.

To ensure chemical resistance in resin mortar fillers (IS 4832 Part 2):
| Chemical Exposure | Recommended Filler Type |
|---|---|
| General Chemicals | Siliceous or inert fillers |
| Hydrofluoric Acid | Carbonaceous fillers |
| Other Specific Chemicals | Select fillers resistant to those chemicals |
This approach ensures the mortar's durability and chemical resistance tailored to the service environment.
According to IS 4832 Part 2 (1969), Table 1, the minimum physical strength requirements for resin type chemical resistant mortars at 7 days are:
| Property | Phenolic (kg/cm²) | Furane (kg/cm²) | Epoxy (kg/cm²) | Polyester (kg/cm²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flexural Strength | 75 | 75 | 150 | 150 |
| Compressive Strength | 350 | 350 | 500 | 500 |
| Bond Strength | 10 (kg/cm²) | 10 | 12 | 12 |
| Working Time | 20 minutes | 20 minutes | 20 minutes | 20 minutes |
| Absorption | Max 1.0% by weight | Max 1.0% | Max 1.0% | Max 1.0% |
These values ensure durability and chemical resistance for different resin types used in mortars.
Chemical Resistance Testing & Agreement (IS 4832 Part 2)
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Purchaser & supplier agree on chemical resistance limits. |
| 2 | Test samples per IS 4456 (Part I) procedures. |
| 3 | Refer to IS 4443 Table 1 for guidance on chemical resistance. |
| 4 | If failed, re-test; if failed again, reject the lot. |
