Masons Mortar Ltd MMH & MMT MODIFIED LIME MORTARS
- Product description
Mineral dry bagged building pointing and rendering mortar based on Hydraulic Lime binders and aggregates (Product designation MMT/H100KA30 F or C + colour ref)
- General application and uses
Masons Mortar Dry Bagged Ready to Mix is especially suitable for building pointing and rendering masonry, natural stone and brick. With excellent vapour permeability, adequate strength for cladding or single skin masonry walls and available in a range performance options with choices in colour and aggregate.
- Material Properties
See typical Mortar Performance chart for physical properties for the range of Masons Mortar ready mixed Lime mortars
- Application instructions
Ambient and materials / surface temperature range to be within 50C – 300C – out with these ranges consult our technical department. Use control methods to maintain ambient conditions until mortar is sufficiently cured
- Pointing and Re-Pointing background preparation
- Remove, cut out defective mortar.
- Clean away all loose and friable materials, remove dust, dampen retained, old mortar and masonry to control suction
- Dense impervious masonry, dampen old mortar, no standing water on masonry, remove with air or dry sponge / cloth or brush.
- All backgrounds must be free of salts, dust, loose or friable materials
- Power wash if required to remove soiling or vegetation at joint interface,
avoid staining high suction masonry by pre-wetting before cleaning out joints. Use biocide treatments as required
- Masonry construction
- Dampen masonry units to control suction if required, masonry units should be stored on free draining clean boards covered when not in use
- For recovered masonry, work only with cleaned, lichen and moss free units and ensure all old mortar remnants are removed.
- Bonding and laying of masonry units with minimum amount of mortar required to avoid unit to unit contact is advised, use pinning / gallets for natural stone masonry, correct gauge/ coursing for brick work.
- Mixing
- For small quantities use hand held drill or whisk type mixer. Mix dry powder into water gradually, start wet, work to drier consistency For larger mixes pan mixers, paddle mixers are best,. Do not short mix, short mixing requires greater water content and will lead to bleed or shrinkage. Over mixing can result in weaker mortar. Mix for 3 minutes with drill and whisk mixers and for 4 minutes for pans and paddle mixers. For free fall mixers mix 5-6minutes. If hand mixing, mix only small amounts and ensure the materials are properly mixed, usually around 4-5 minutes of vigorous mixing. Turn or stop mixing at specified time, re-mix if required for up to 1 hour.
- Application Guidelines – General
- Ensure mortar is compatible with other mortars – see technical performance data before using over other work with site mixed or other manufacturers products. If in doubt seek advice.
- Apply to properly prepared backgrounds
- Apply in accordance with general site specifications
- Allow adequate curing times between applications
- Consumption
- 1 25 KG Bag of Masons Mortar Ltd Dry Bagged Ready To Mix mortar will build approx 50 standard metric bricks with 10mm joints or Re-point 7.5 M 2 at 10mm x 10mm
- 8 tonnes or Masons Mortar Ltd Dry Bagged Ready To Mix mortar will build approximately 10M3 of mass masonry walls (rubble)
- Clean up
- Wash tools with clean water immediately after use
- Colour matched or colour packs
- As supplied, either through coloured or with colour pack for onsite mixing
- Through coloured dry bagged product, take materials as required and mix with water, colour will remain consistent throughout the depth of the material
- Colour packs are supplied for mixing with full bags of mortar only
- Empty the colour pack into mortar which has already been mixed to a stiffer than normally usable
consistency, turn package inside out and clean off any residual pigments into the wet mix, dispose of colour packaging thoughtfully
- Proper protection must be maintained throughout the curing process, colour variation will occur if differential hydration takes place. After placing keep work protected from strong sunlight, drying winds, rain and frost until properly cured.
