GARDEN GROVE, CA – CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp. – manufacturer of Rapid Set® professional-grade cement products – announces Rapid Set® WP MORTAR HP, a high-performance, polymer modified, cement coating. It can be used to waterproof basements, foundations, retaining walls, tilt-up concrete, cast-in-place concrete, and precast concrete.

Durable in multiple environments, WP MORTAR HP is a blend of Rapid Set hydraulic cement, high performance additives and quality aggregates. The coating is vapor permeable, allowing a structure to breathe. It resists water intrusion in positive and negative side applications.

“We are excited to add WP MORTAR HP to our product line,” said Grant Kao, Director of Product Development. “This coating is a superior waterproofing product that has multiple uses, both above and below grade.
WP MORTAR HP can be applied in thicknesses from 1/16″ to 1/8″ (0.16 cm to 0.32 cm). It has a working time of 30 minutes, can be exposed to hydrostatic pressure in 3-5 days, and cures to a concrete gray color.

Formulated for long-life in critical applications, WP MORTAR HP also provides an environmental advantage as it emits far less CO2 than portland cement.

WP MORTAR HP may be applied using a trowel, tampico masonry brush,
3/8″ nap roller or similar. It is essential to thoroughly work the first coat into substrate to fill all voids and cracks, then apply with a horizontal stroke to ensure even application. The first coat should cure for a minimum of 3 hours, before applying a second coat, using a vertical stroke to finish the application. To eliminate joint telegraphing and shadowing on block and masonry walls, allow WP MORTAR HP to cure for 2 days before applying second coat. WP MORTAR HP may be applied in temperatures ranging from 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C).

WP MORTAR HP is available in 50-lb (22.7-kg) bags. For each coat applied with a trowel or tampico masonry brush, one 50-lb (22.7-kg) bag will cover a 110 ft2 (10.2 m2) at a thickness of 1/16″ (0.16 cm). When applied in two coats, one 50-lb
(22.7-kg) bag will cover 55 ft2 (5.1 m2).
