Fireproof mortar is the main element of any structure exposed to high temperatures. Its properties allow for safe and durable bonding of elements, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the structure.
The main function of fireproof mortar is to maintain the cohesion and stability of the heating structure in extremely high temperatures, while retaining its mechanical and chemical properties. This product can withstand temperatures of up to 1400 °C and is flexible enough to absorb stress without cracking. Fireclay mortar does not react negatively with combustion products. It creates a strong and durable bond between elements. Its composition is based on refractory cement, fireproof aggregate, and modifying additives. Fireproof mortar is available at Vitcas in a form that can be mixed with water.
We explain the operation, structure, and installation methods of a product such as fireproof mortar.
Proper preparation and application of a product such as fireproof mortar is very important for the durability and safety of the entire structure. The surfaces to which it will be applied must be clean and dry. It can be used to cover not only fireclay bricks, but also high-temperature insulation mats. When preparing it, strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and proportions. Fireclay mortar can be applied with a trowel or spatula. The bonded elements must be gently pressed together and excess mortar removed. Setting takes place within a few days, followed by technological firing. For those planning to build or renovate a heating device, other building materials from the Vitcas store, such as ceramic wool, solid Vitcas boards, and strong fireplace tape, will also be useful.
Fireproof mortar used in the construction or renovation of a heating system will ensure its long-term and safe operation. It is worth choosing a product from a well-known manufacturer.
