HIGH-TEMPERATURE RESISTANT REFRACTORY MIX: GIRtech CONTACT DRYMIX is a professional-grade refractory mortar designed for masonry and lining of fireplaces, stoves, fireboxes, ovens, and heating units. Withstands extreme temperatures up to 3000°F (1648°C), providing long-lasting performance and structural integrity in high-heat environments.

EASY TO USE – JUST ADD WATER: This dry powder mix is simple to prepare—just mix with water before application. For best results, wet bricks before use to improve adhesion. Ideal joint thickness is 0.11–0.15 inches (3–4 mm). Apply with a trowel for a smooth, even finish.

STRONG JOINTS THROUGH PROPER FIRING: Unlike cement-based mortars, this clay-based refractory mortar requires firing to develop strength. Let masonry dry at 64–72°F (18–22°C) for 48 hours before gradually igniting. Full sintering occurs at 2190°F, with minimum strength achieved at 750–1110°F (400–600°C).

IMPORTANT USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Avoid moisture and weather exposure during drying. Do not paint, plaster, or tile until the structure is fully dried and fired. Fine cracks may appear after drying—this is normal and does not affect structural integrity. For outdoor use, always protect the unit from rain and snow.

SAFE, NON-TOXIC & FOOD GRADE: Made from natural materials, this mix is non-toxic and safe for use indoors and outdoors. However, avoid inhaling dry powder as it may irritate the respiratory system. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse immediately with clean water.
