Background description of company and its products:

Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	The material, PERMACASTïƒ¢ PL-8,000, is a high strength, high build, abrasion resistant and corrosion resistant mortar, based on advanced cements and additives. When mixed with the appropriate amount of water, a paste-like material will develop which may be sprayed, cast or pumped into any area Â¼ inch and larger. The hardened liner is dense and highly impermeable. The above performance is achieved by a complex proprocity formulation of mineral, organic and densifying agents and sophisticated chemical admixtures including rust inhibitors. Graded quartz sands are used to enhance particle packing and further improve the fluidity and hardened density. The composition also possesses excellent thin-section toughness, high modulus of elasticity and self-bonding. Fibers are added as an aid to casting, for increased cohesion and to enhance flexural strength. The water content may be adjusted to achieve consistencies ranging from plastic to modeling clay. Despite its workability, the mortar has good wet adhesion and does not sag or run after placement. The mortar may be cast against soil, metals, wood, plastic or other normal construction material.
