Everbuild Opti-Mix Mortar Plasticiser is a highly concentrated air entraining liquid plasticising admixture which improves the workability of mortar as it forms extremely stable air bubbles in mortar mixes. This gives the mortar mixes a 'buttery' consistency and helps prevent shrinkage, cracking, crazing and mild frost damage during the curing process.

Supplied in 1 Litre Containers, concentrated solution.

Description

Everbuild Opti-Mix Mortar Plasticiser

Everbuild Opti-Mix Mortar Plasticiser is a highly concentrated air entraining liquid plasticising admixture which is 25 times the strength of conventional products.

Everbuild Opti-Mix Mortar Plasticiser forms extremely stable air bubbles in mortar mixes.

This improves the workability of mortar, giving it a “buttery” consistency and helps prevent shrinkage, cracking, crazing and mild frost damage during the curing process, as well as providing long term resistance to freeze / thaw cycles.

Everbuild Opti-Mix Mortar Plasticiser replaces lime in the mix and hence reduces the chance of efflorescence (salt formation) and smoothes out variations between separate batches of sand and cement.
