Everbuild 201 Mortar Admix Plasticiser 5L

Everbuild® 201 Mortar Admix – 5 L

Air-entraining, liquid-plasticising admixture in a 5 L container. Formulated to produce stable air bubbles in mortar mixes, this admixture improves workability, trowelability, and freeze/thaw resistance while reducing lime content and ensuring consistency between batches.

Key benefits

• Forms stable, uniform air bubbles that remain consistent after 1 hour and extra mixing—loss under 3 %, change within 5 %.
• Improves trowelability and overall mortar handling for easier laying and finishing.
• Enhances freeze/thaw resistance of wet and dry mortar down to –2 °C.
• Chloride-free (<0.1 %), reduces water bleed and eliminates the risk of lime bloom and efflorescence.
• Superior performance compared to traditional Vinsol resin-based plasticisers.

Typical applications

• Bricklaying and blockwork construction.
• Rendering and plastering.
• Pointing and repointing of masonry.

Usage guidance

• Dosage: 150–250 ml per 50 kg of cement, depending on the desired level of plasticising or air-entrainment.
• Mix thoroughly into the gauging water before adding to the dry mix.
• Reduce total water content accordingly to maintain correct mix consistency.
• Avoid excessive dosing, though the formula can tolerate up to twice the maximum dosage without harmful effects.
