EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix

EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix

Air entraining plasticisier for brick-laying & plastering mortars.

EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix is an air-entraining, liquid-plasticising admixture which forms extremely stable air bubbles in mortar mixes. The admix improves workability and freeze/thaw resistance in brick laying mortars, reduces the need for lime and smoothes out variations between separate batches of sand and cement.

Out-performs traditional Vinsol Resin Based plasticisers (see specific data).
  • Improves trowelability.
  • Easier tamping down and alignment.
  • Improves workability.
  • Provides resistance to freeze/thaw cycling down to -2 oC in both wet and dry mortar.
  • Chloride free (chloride ion content <0.1 %).
  • Reduces bleeding.
  • Replaces lime in mix, hence reduces possibility of lime bloom and efflorescence.        
Loss After 1 Hr StandingNot reduced by more than 3 % from vol. air entrainedChange After Extra 15 Mins MixingNot more than 5 % from vol. air entrained

Application steps

MIXING

In all cases, add to mix at an addition rate of 150 ml to 250 ml per 50 kg cement, depending on the degree of plasticising/entrainment required. Note: remember to reduce required quantity of water accordingly. One litre of EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix added to a 200 L drum of gauging water will be sufficient for gauging approx. 4 x 50 kg cement for mortar or render mixes. Whilst overdosing should be avoided, this formulation does safeguard against moderate overdosing (up to double the maximum rate).

The following are examples of modified mix designs.

1 : 0.25 : 3  cement : lime : sand

use 1 : 3  cement : sand : + EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix

1 : 1 : 6 cement : lime : sand.

use 1 : 6  cement : sand + EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix

BRICKLAYING/POINTING: Use a mix design appropriate to brick strength (1 : 3  to 1 : 6).

INTERNAL RENDERS:1 : 6  + EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix

EXTERNAL RENDERS: 1 : 3 + EVERBUILD® 201 Mortar Admix
