Everbuild 207 Zeromix CFF Frostproofer Mortar Admixture 5 Litre

REF: ZERO5 | MPN: 488857 | Barcode: 5029347002756

Everbuild 207 Zeromix CFF is a specialised liquid admixture that improves the performance of mortar and concrete in cold weather conditions. Combining air entrainment with accelerating properties allows construction work to continue in sub-zero temperatures. This product removes the need for separate frostproofing additives, simplifying the mixing process while improving workability and durability.

Who This Product Is For

This admixture is suitable for construction professionals and experienced DIY users who need to work with mortar or concrete during colder months. It is designed for those undertaking bricklaying, rendering, floor screeding, or repointing projects when temperatures drop near or below freezing.

Key Features

• Cold Weather Performance: Accelerates setting times in low-temperature environments, enabling efficient progress on-site.
• Improved Workability: Enhances the texture and ease of application for mortars and concrete, ensuring smoother finishes.
• Frost Resistance: Offers protection against freeze-thaw cycles down to -8°C, preserving structural integrity during curing.
• Non-Corrosive Formula: Safe for use with embedded metals, preventing potential damage or corrosion.
• Reduced Shrinkage: Minimises cracking and crazing, resulting in more durable and visually appealing finishes.

Practical Applications

This admixture is appropriate for a range of construction tasks, including:

• Floor screeds and rendering, both internal and external.
• Brick and block laying for load-bearing structures.
• Repointing or pointing brickwork to restore strength and appearance.
• Accelerated concrete setting for weather-sensitive projects.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is used during the mortar or concrete preparation stage. It is added to the mixing water before combining with cement and sand. The treated mixture is then applied as normal, but with the benefit of faster setting and frost protection during curing in cold conditions.

How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Make sure all materials (sand, cement, and water) are clean and free from contaminants.
   • Adjust mix proportions if necessary based on the specific task and environmental conditions.
2. Mixing:
   • Shake the container thoroughly before use.
   • Add the required amount directly to the mixing water. Follow dosage guidelines for optimal results.
   • For faster, more consistent mixes use a dedicated power mixer.
3. Application:
   • Combine the treated water with sand and cement as per the standard mixing procedure.
   • Apply the mortar or concrete to the intended surface.
4. Curing:
   • Allow adequate curing time, especially in extreme cold, to make sure the material sets properly and achieves the desired strength.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Reseal the container tightly after each use to maintain the product’s quality.
• Inspect the product periodically and discard it if signs of separation or contamination appear.
