Plasticizer for Mortar Mc Expert MC-500-0310 1 L (replaces lime)

Plasticizer for Mortar Mc Expert MC-500-0310 1 L is a liquid additive designed to replace lime in cement and masonry mortars. It modifies the rheological properties of mortar mixes to improve workability, plasticity and cohesion without altering basic curing characteristics. Supplied in a 1-litre container, this product is formulated for use in construction and repair tasks where improved application, reduced cracking and more uniform surfaces are required.

Advantages

The plasticizer enhances mortar flow and workability, allowing easier spreading and finishing while maintaining adequate strength after curing. It reduces water demand in mixes, which helps limit shrinkage and cracking. Improved cohesion and plasticity result in more consistent joint filling and smoother surfaces. The liquid form enables accurate dosing and homogeneous dispersion in standard mixing equipment.

Suitable for

• Preparing cement-sand mortars for masonry and blockwork
• Plaster and render mixes where lime replacement is required
• Repair mortars and patching compounds to improve adhesion and finish
• General construction tasks that require improved workability and reduced cracking

Key specifications

• Form: liquid additive for mortar mixes
• Container volume: 1 litre
• Function: plasticizing agent to improve workability and cohesion
• Effect on mix: reduces required mixing water and enhances plasticity
• Compatibility: intended for cement and masonry mortars

How to use

Measure the recommended dose of plasticizer according to mortar type and required workability, then add it to the mixing water before combining with dry materials. Mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved. Adjust dosage incrementally to obtain the desired flow and plasticity, taking care not to exceed manufacturer guidance for additive proportions. Follow normal curing and protection procedures for cement-based mortars after application.

Usage recommendations

Store the product in a frost-free environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use potable mixing water and clean mixing equipment. Test a small batch before large-scale application to determine optimal dosing for specific materials and ambient conditions.
