Arcaflex Flexible Mortar Coverage:
N° cm² of the joint section X N° linear metres X 0.140kg
Exemple:
5 metres cracks (4cm width and 2cm depth = 8cm²) 5x8x0.140= 5.6 kg 5.6kg of Arcaflex is needed = 3x2kg
10 metres cracks (4cm width and 2cm depth = 8cm²) 10x8x0.140= 11.2 kg 11.2kg of Arcaflex is needed = 1x 10kg + 1x2kg
Arcaflex Flexible Mortar Pack sizes:
ARCAFLEX FLEXIBLE JOINT MORTAR comes in a pre-batched ready to use kit and hardens to an elastic waterproofing sealant making it ideal for use where increased flexibility and durability are required.

Arcaflex Flexible Joint Mortar Instructions for Use
Application Conditions
Do not apply if the temperature is <5°C or >30°C
Do not apply on frozen substrates or freezing is forecast within 48 hours of the application.
Do not apply under hot dry sun.
Product Preparation
Mix the 2 components in equal proportions (in terms of weight)
Pour the component B into component A and stir with a trowel or an electric mixer until a homogeous paste is obtained.
Surface Preparation
The substrate must be, brushed clean and free of any loose material, dust and any loose particles which will prevent proper adhesion: laitance, separating agents, etc. The surface must be clean and cohesive. Wash and vacuum out cracks and joints. Place a backing foam at the bottom of the joint. Do not use in the presence of running water (major leaks).
Application
Widen the crack using a chisel and hammer to a minimum of 2x 4cm and break away any deteriorating concrete (the edges of the crack should be vertical or beveled in an inverted “v”).
Note: The width of the crack should be twice as large as the depth. See illustration below.
Once the crack has a wider base, clean thoroughly using a wire brush, a damp cloth or a vacuum to remove small particles that will prevent the adhesive from bonding to the concrete surface.
Prepare the product as indicated above
Insert and pack down the flexible mortar to fill the entire area.
Level off with a wet trowel

A 10kg tub will treat approximately 8 linear meters (section 8cm²)
Drying Time
1 day The curing time will depend on the surface area, the porosity of the substrate and relative humidity and can vary from 1 to 10 days.
Clean Up
Clean tools with water immediately after use.
