Mortar Plasticiser 5 Litres

Mortar Plasticiser vastly improves the workability and freeze/thaw resistance in brick laying mortars, reduces the need for lime and smoothers out variations between batches of sand and cement.

Applications:
Load bearing brick work, block laying, external/ internal rendering, pointing/ re-pointing brickwork.

Benefits:

• Vastly improves workability and adhesion of mortar or concrete
• Enables leaner mixes by the reduction of water
• Reduces cracking and crazing and helps prevent efflorescence
• Permeability of mortar is reduced
• Slows drying without affecting the initial set
• Can be safely used in conjunction with steel reinforcements

Limitations:
Do not use in structual concrete. Do not over dose. Do not mix with other additives in the same gauging water. Do not use in lime based mixes.
Instructions for use In all cases, add to mix at addition rate of 150ml to 250ml per 50kg of cement depending on the degree of plasticising/ entrainment required.

Note: Always add the Mortar Plasticiser to the mix or to a small amount of gauging water then add to mix. Once mixed in add more water until desired consistancy is acheived. Remember to reduce the toatl amount of gauging water used.

Brick Laying/ Pointing: use a mix appropriate to brick strength (1:3 to 1:6)
Internal Renders: 1:6 + Mortar Plasticiser
External Renders: 1:3 + Mortar Plasticiser
