Usage

  • To plasticise mortars, renders and other sand/cement mixes.
  • Allows for easier workability in mortars, particularly those that contain coarse sand.
  • Mortars will flow more readily at lower water contents, and maintain shape and form, even under loads from subsequent layers of bricks.
  • Reduces segregation and bleeding in mortar mixes, therefore reducing unsightly surface laitence.  This also improves cure of mortars, leading to a stronger and more durable result.
  • Eliminates the need for lime to plasticise the mix thus allowing the water/cement ratio to be reduced, producing a higher strength mortar.
  • Improves surface adhesion of renders while still wet.
