Method of Application
-
Surface Prearation
- The concrete blocks or similar masonry unit should be cleaned using a brush to remove any dust or loose particles.
- Surface must be free of dirt, oil, grease, scaling paint, curing agents, dust, loose particles, efflorescence or foreign material.
- Spray sufficient amount of clean potable water to neutralize the suction of the background.
- Allow free water to evaporate completely before the application of Block mortar.
- MixingMix approx. 7.5 litres of clean potable water to a 50kg bag. Add Block mortar to water and mix with suitable electrical agitator to ensure a homogeneous and uniform mix. Allow to stand for approx. 5 minutes to completely dissolve the chemical additives. Do not add any additional water once mixing is completed. When mixed with a continuous screw mixer the water is adjusted by flow meter and mixing is carried out automatically.
- Application Apply BM110 to the background to the required thickness by a trowel and level. Fill the head joints with mortar properly. Tool all the joints when mortar has set to a thumb print hard.
- Curing Curing of Block Mortar with potable water is absolutely necessary for minimum 48 hours.
- Precautions Do not apply if raining. Protect from rain for 48 hrs after application. Hard or lumpy material must not be used.
- Storage BM 110 must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Store off the ground in a cool and dry place.
