MPN: POWM05

Barcode: 5060021364463

This concentrated admixture improves the workability and durability of Portland cement-based mortars through an advanced air-entraining formula that creates stable air bubbles for a smoother, more manageable consistency.

Who This Product Is For

This concentrated mortar plasticiser is designed for professionals and serious DIY users working with cement-based mortars on construction, renovation, or repair projects.

It suits those undertaking pointing, rendering, screeding, or bricklaying work where improved mortar workability, frost resistance, and reduced cracking are required.

Key Features

• Highly Concentrated Formula: Twenty times stronger than standard alternatives, offering superior performance with minimal product usage.
• Air-Entraining Technology: Produces stable air bubbles for improved consistency and finish in mortar applications.
• Lime-Free Solution: Removes the need for lime in mixes, simplifying the process while reducing efflorescence risk.
• Frost Resistance: Improves mortar’s ability to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, helping to keep it durable in cold weather conditions.
• Mess-Free Design: Liquid format is cleaner and easier to measure compared to traditional powder-based products.
• Quick Dispersion: Blends seamlessly into gauging water or directly into mechanical mixers for even distribution.

Key Benefits

• Reduces the risk of cracking, crazing, and shrinkage during curing, helping to produce a longer-lasting finish.
• Offers exceptional workability, providing a smooth and buttery texture that’s easy to apply.
• Saves time and effort by eliminating the need for lime, streamlining the mixing process.
• Improves efficiency with precise dosage control for consistent results across batches.

Practical Applications

The Bond It Power Mix is perfect for a range of cement-based tasks, including:

• Pointing and bricklaying projects, delivering enhanced adhesion and finish.
• Rendering external walls with a durable, weather-resistant surface.
• Screeding floors for a smooth, level base in construction or renovation work.
• Mixing coloured grouts for tiles, ensuring a uniform and crack-free application.
• Replacing lime in mortar mixes while maintaining flexibility and strength.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This mortar plasticiser is used during the mortar preparation stage, before application. It’s added to the gauging water or directly into the cement mixer when preparing the mortar mix.

The product forms part of the mixing system where it improves workability and durability properties before the mortar is applied to surfaces for pointing, rendering, or screeding work.
