Mortar Admix – Plasticiser – Superior Masonry Applications

Product Overview

This high-performance 25-liter mortar admixture is expertly formulated to enhance the quality and durability of bricklaying and plastering mortars. It acts as an air-entraining plasticizer, introducing fine, stable micro air bubbles throughout the mix to improve consistency and ease of use. This professional-grade additive significantly enhances mortar workability, ensuring smooth trowel action and improved bonding performance across both internal and external applications. The formulation also increases freeze/thaw resistance, reducing the risk of cracking or delamination in harsh conditions. Ideal for masonry, rendering, and pointing work, this admixture provides a controlled and reliable means of producing more durable, longer-lasting mortar finishes.

Features & Benefits

• Improved Workability: Greatly enhances trowelability, producing smoother, more uniform mortar that is easier to spread, align, and compact.
• Freeze/Thaw Resistance: Strengthens mortar resilience against freeze/thaw cycling, remaining effective in temperatures down to −2°C in both wet and dry conditions.
• Stable Air Entrainment: Contains a precision-formulated additive that maintains consistent air content within the mix, extending workability time and improving cohesion.
• Replaces Lime: Eliminates the need for lime in mortar design, reducing the risk of lime bloom and efflorescence on finished masonry surfaces.
• Reduced Bleeding: Minimizes water separation during mixing, ensuring a more consistent and workable mortar composition.
• Batch Consistency: Helps standardize performance across varying sand and cement batches, promoting uniform strength and finish quality.
• Chloride-Free: Features a chloride ion content below 0.1%, making it safe for use with embedded metals and reducing corrosion risk.
• Cold Weather Stability: With a freezing point of −10°C, the admixture maintains storage stability and usability in low-temperature conditions.
• Container Size: Supplied in a durable 25-liter container for high-volume site work.

Applications

• Load-Bearing Brickwork: Improves mortar workability and bonding strength for robust structural masonry.
• Block Laying: Enhances spreading and handling properties, supporting efficient block installation.
• External Rendering: Increases frost resistance and surface finish quality for exterior coatings.
• Internal Rendering: Provides smooth, pliable mortar ideal for interior plastering applications.
• Pointing and Repointing: Delivers pliable, consistent mortar for precise joint filling.

• Container Size: 25 liters
• Chloride Ion Content: Below 0.1%
• Freezing Point: −10°C
