Powdered Mortar Plasticiser is a concentrated plasticising/air-entraining admixture for site-mixed bricklaying and plastering mortars.

It is manufactured from a unique blend of surfactants, which ensures consistent performance of mortars. Powdered Mortar Plasticiser improves the workability of mortar for masonry, brickwork and sand/cement rendering. In addition, it increases the resistance of the mortar to frost by entraining air.

• Easily handled
• Replaces lime
• Increases frost protection
• Reduces shrinkage and crazing
• Chloride-free
• BS EN 934

Packaging:
25kg plastic tubs

Chemcrete Plastamix is a plasticising/air-entraining admixture based on synthetic surfactants. Chemcrete Plastamix increases the plasticity of the mortar by the entrainment of controlled amounts of air.

It has been designed to produce a large, stable bubble matrix for ready to use plastering mortars.  If required, it can be used in conjunction with Chemcrete MR1 to provide a retarded plastering mortar or in conjunction with Caltra Waterproofers to provide a waterproof render.

• BS EN 934-3: T2
• Segregation and bleeding reduced
• Improved cohesion and consistency
• Retains air during transport
• Plastering Mortar remains useable for up to 48hrs when
• used in conjunction with Chemcrete MR1

Packaging:
25L, 200L and bulk

Coverage:
0.25 – 0.75L per 100kg cement
