Product Overview
Everbuild 201 Mortar Admix in a 25 litre container is a high-performance liquid admixture formulated to enhance the quality and durability of bricklaying and plastering mortars.
It acts as an air-entraining plasticiser, 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, Everbuild 201 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: Minimises water separation during mixing, ensuring a more consistent and workable mortar composition.
- Batch Consistency: Helps standardise 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 litre 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 finishing on both new and existing brickwork.
Installation Guidance
- Mix Preparation: Shake the container before use and add the measured dose to gauging water prior to mixing with cement and sand.
- Dosage Control: Use at the manufacturer’s recommended rate; do not exceed twice the maximum dosage to maintain performance.
- Compatibility: Use only with standard cement/sand mortar mixes; not compatible with lime-based or structural concrete formulations.
- Mix Uniformity: Ensure thorough mechanical mixing for full dispersion of the admixture and consistent air entrainment.
- Cold Weather Use: Keep the product above freezing during use; mortar should not be applied onto frozen substrates.
Compliance & Performance
- Standard Compliance: Conforms to BS EN 934-3 (2009) for masonry mortar admixtures.
- Performance Testing: Subjected to extended laboratory and field testing, including vibration and air-loss resistance evaluation, ensuring consistent real-world reliability.
- Material Specification: Liquid air-entraining plasticiser, formulated with low-chloride components for corrosion safety.
- Functional Range: Effective in both internal and external mortar applications across varied sand and cement ratios.
- Important Note: Not suitable for use in structural concrete or lime-based mortars. Do not mix with other chemical admixtures unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
