Popular Questions About IS 4832 Part 2

?What types of resins are specified for use in resin-type chemical resistant mortars?

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 TypeKey Characteristics (per Table 1, Clause 3.1)
PhenolicWorking time: 20 min; Flexural strength ≥ 75 kg/cm²; Compressive strength ≥ 350 kg/cm²
FuraneSame physical requirements as phenolic resin
EpoxyHigher strength: Flexural ≥ 150 kg/cm²; Compressive ≥ 500 kg/cm²
PolyesterSame as epoxy resin in strength requirements

Summary:

  • These resins are mixed with fillers and setting agents to create a trowelable mortar.
  • All types have a working time of ~20 minutes at 27±2°C.
  • Epoxy and polyester mortars exhibit higher mechanical strengths compared to phenolic and furane types.
  • Absorption is limited to max 1% by weight for all types.

This ensures durability and chemical resistance for bonding chemical-resistant masonry units.

?How are fillers selected to ensure chemical resistance in the mortar?

To ensure chemical resistance in resin mortar fillers (IS 4832 Part 2):

  • Select inert fillers like siliceous materials for general chemical exposure.
  • Use carbonaceous fillers specifically for hydrofluoric acid resistance (Clause 3.2).
  • Fillers must be chosen based on their resistance to the specific chemicals they will contact.
  • Particle size should be graded properly to allow a minimum joint thickness of 1.5 mm (Clause 5.1).
  • Catalyst and accelerator materials may be incorporated into fillers or supplied separately, per manufacturer instructions (Clause 3.3).

Summary Table for Filler Selection

Chemical ExposureRecommended Filler Type
General ChemicalsSiliceous or inert fillers
Hydrofluoric AcidCarbonaceous fillers
Other Specific ChemicalsSelect fillers resistant to those chemicals

This approach ensures the mortar's durability and chemical resistance tailored to the service environment.

?What are the minimum physical strength requirements for these mortars?

According to IS 4832 Part 2 (1969), Table 1, the minimum physical strength requirements for resin type chemical resistant mortars at 7 days are:

PropertyPhenolic (kg/cm²)Furane (kg/cm²)Epoxy (kg/cm²)Polyester (kg/cm²)
Flexural Strength7575150150
Compressive Strength350350500500
Bond Strength10 (kg/cm²)101212
Working Time20 minutes20 minutes20 minutes20 minutes
AbsorptionMax 1.0% by weightMax 1.0%Max 1.0%Max 1.0%
  • Bond strength test must show no failure at or below specified values.
  • Tests follow IS 4456 (Part I) - 1967 methods.

These values ensure durability and chemical resistance for different resin types used in mortars.

?How is chemical resistance tested and agreed upon between purchaser and supplier?

Chemical Resistance Testing & Agreement (IS 4832 Part 2)

  • Clause 6.1 states that chemical resistance limits are mutually agreed between purchaser & supplier.
  • Testing must follow IS 4456 (Part I) - 1967, which details test methods for resin type chemical resistant mortars.
  • A general guide for chemical resistance of resin mortars to various chemicals is provided in Table 1 of IS 4443-1980.
  • If samples fail initial tests per Table 1 of IS 4832, a re-test on a new sample is done; failure again leads to rejection of the lot (Clause 3.3).
  • Physical requirements (strength, absorption, bond) are specified in Table 1 of IS 4832 Part 2, tested per IS 4456 Part I.

Summary:

StepAction
1Purchaser & supplier agree on chemical resistance limits.
2Test samples per IS 4456 (Part I) procedures.
3Refer to IS 4443 Table 1 for guidance on chemical resistance.
4If failed, re-test; if failed again, reject the lot.

This ensures standardized, mutually agreed chemical resistance performance.

?What are the recommended storage conditions and shelf-life for resin and dry-mix components?

Recommended Storage Conditions & Shelf-life (IS 4832 Part 2):

  • Shelf-life:

    • Phenolic & Polyester resins: ~3 months at 27°C ± 2°C
    • Furane & Epoxy resins: ~12 months at 27°C ± 2°C
    • Dry-mix: Depends on the stability of the setting agent; manufacturer must specify maximum shelf-life.
  • Storage Conditions:

    • Resins must be stored in airtight sealed containers to prevent deterioration.
    • Fillers (dry-mix) should be packed to avoid moisture ingress and degradation.
    • Storage temperature should ideally be maintained around 27°C ± 2°C.
  • Packaging Markings (Clause 9.1):

    • Manufacturer's name
    • Product name
    • Date of manufacture / batch number
    • Storage requirements
    • Storage life
    • Expiry date

Maintaining these conditions ensures the chemical resistance and workability of resin-based mortars.
