1. Product Description BIO' K-10+ Fire Rated Mortar is a specially formulated rapid hardening gypsum/cement compound. The product provides the optimum combination of workability, strength and fire resistance. When mixed with clean water to a suitable consistency, Bio'K-10+

Fire Rated Mortar sets without shrinking and can form a rigid, gas tight, fire resistant seal.

It can easily be cut or drilled and resealed if future penetrants are needed. No special tools are required to mix or install the product.

Bio' K-10+ Fire Rated Mortar systems are rated for up to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and have been tested in accordance with ASTM E 814 (UL 1479) and ULC-S115-95 test standards.

Around electrical power cables Around communication cables (telephone, fiber optic, etc.)

Blank openings Concrete or concrete block (CMU) walls Concrete floors Cable Trays (aluminum or steel)

Bio' K-10+ Fire Rated Mortar Features

• Non-sag Adjustable consistency (pourable or trowelable)

• High yield

• Non-shrinking

• Safe and simple to use

• Workable approximately 45 minutes.

3. Applications A fire rated load bearing mortar to economically firestop large openings for through-penetrations in fire rated walls and floors. Can be used with power cables, fiber optic telephone cables. Recommended for use with aluminum or steel cable trays, as well as EMT, copper, steel, or black iron pipe.

4. Installation Data Mixing Procedure: Mix with clean water in a suitable container. Slowly add the dry mortar mix to water while stirring by hand, or by power mixer, to ensure a smooth lump free mix.

Recommended Mixing Ratios:

Mortar Mix: Water (by volume)

Consistency:

Pourable For Floor Openings 2 1/2 : 1 Stiff for Wall Openings

3 : 1 DO NOT USE A MIX RATIO OF LESS THAN 2:1 NOTE: The wet mix will remain usable for approximately 45-60 minutes depending on batch size, water content and temperature.

Once material has been mixed to the desired consistency, DO NOT attempt to alter by adding additional water or mortar THIS WILL CAUSE THE MATERIAL TO HARDEN VERY QUICKLY. Any spillage should be wiped up with a damp cloth before setting occurs.

Combustible damming material is usually removed after the mortar mix has set. Non-combustible damming materials can be left in place. However, the specifier or the local authority having jurisdiction may require a specific type of or the removal of a particular damming material. If damming material is to be removed, a suitable bond breaker (e.g.

plastic sheeting) should be used between the mortar mix and the damming material.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WALL OPENINGS For small holes and gaps, trowel a stiff mix into the opening to the recommended depth.

For larger holes, use an appropriate damming material to support the mix until it sets.

FLOOR OPENINGS When sealing holes in floor slabs, an appropriate damming material must be installed prior to pouring in the mortar mix.

Panels of damming materials should be cut to fit tightly around penetration within the opening so as to avoid leakage of the mortar mix during pouring.
