Batimix Masonry Binder 40 - White

Description

BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 White is a hydraulic binder with enhanced properties, particularly suitable for plastering applications in masonry construction. It is composed of Type I Portland cement, fillers, and a combination of selected chemical additives such as plasticizing/water-reducing, air-entraining, shrinkage-compensating, and water-repellent agents.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White is used to producing mortars for plastering interior and exterior elements. It yields plastering mortars with a surface that is free of cracks and has low water-permeability. The product incorporates shrinkage-compensating and water-repelling agents. It is also used for preparing mortars for the assembling of masonry units and the application of spatter-dash slurries.

Features

Mortars, prepared with BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White, are ideal for masonry works. They yield improved plastic and hardened construction characteristics, which include the following:

• Enhanced workability from fillers and plasticizing agents
• Strong bond between the substrate and applied mortar,
• Low volume changes from drying shrinkage and sulfate expansion
• Increased coverage ratios, mainly due to the lower product’s density
• Low levels of water-permeability and high durability

Health and Safety

BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White contains cement that is irritating to the eyes and skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Wear suitable gloves. For further information, please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet.

Directions for Use

Depending on the type of element and desired strength, one part of BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White should be mixed with 2 to 3 parts, by volume, of sand. All used sand shall be well graded meeting the requirements of ASTM C 144 (or similar) for Aggregate for Masonry Mortar. The water should be clean and just enough to obtain a workable consistency.

Mortars made with BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White can be applied manually using a traditional trowel or mechanically with a projection-spraying device. Appropriate curing procedures are important to ensure the quality and durability of the so-prepared mortars. For detailed application instructions, kindly refer to the product’s “Application Guidelines”.

Specifications / Compliance with Standards

BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White is manufactured to conform to all current requirements of EN 413-1 MC 22.5 for Masonry Cement and ASTM C 1328 Type M for Plastic (Stucco) Cement.

Caution

BATIMIX Masonry Binder 40 - White is not an ordinary Portland cement, and cannot be used for concreting works. It can solely be used to produce mortars for masonry construction.
