Feb® Febmix® Plus

Mortar plasticiser

Feb® Febmix® Plus is a liquid ultra stable ‘micro’ air entraining mortar plasticiser designed to enhance the workability and freeze thaw resistance of brick and block laying mortars. Feb® Febmix® Plus may be used to replace the use of lime, and is designed to maintain efficiency with variations in cement and aggregate sources.

  • Ultra stable bubble structure.
  • Uniform air entrainment structure.
  • Works with most types of Portland Cement and difficult sands.
  • Increased resistance to damage by freeze/thaw.
  • Reduced segregation and bleed.
  • Non corrosive to embedded metals.
  • Increased working time.
  • Easier and faster mortar spread.
  • Can be used with P.F.A. containing mortars.

Usage

  • Designed to be used as a mortar plasticising admixture in brick and block laying mortars
  • ‘Micro’ air entraining properties reduce water demand and greatly reduce the likelihood of cracking and crazing.
  • Provides enhanced resistance to frost attack in both wet and hardened mortar state.

Application steps

MIXING

In all cases, add to mix or to gauging water at an addition rate of 125 ml to 250 ml per 50 kg cement, depending on the degree of plasticizing/entrainment required. Note: remember to reduce required quantity of water accordingly. One litre of Feb® Febmix® Plus 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.
