UNILIT 25 (TD 13 P)

 LIGHTWEIGHT MORTAR

 

DESCRIPTION

UNILIT 25 is a dry, premixed lightweight mortar based on expanded volcanic mineral deposits (of varying granule sizes) and natural hydraulic lime. 

This natural product has excellent vapour permeability qualities which promote the migration of moisture and humidity from within the structure. 

UNILIT 25 is particularly suited for application onto thermal blockwork and will prevent all known causes of dampness by its natural ability to be able to control the level of moisture retained within the structure.  This quality is further augmented by superior thermal, mechanical and adhesive properties.

  

APPLICATION

UNILIT 25 can be used in both new construction and renovation.  Irrespective of whether used internally or externally it will regulate the moisture content present within the walls and will prevent the occurrence of mortar joint lines appearing in the render finish.

By its use the specifier ensures the elimination of cold bridging or damage to the structure by thermal shock.

PREPARATION

The substrate must be free of all traces of oil and grease. When the substrate has been treated with an impregnating product (silicones and similar) it is recommended to consult the supplier or manufacturer.

UNILIT 25 is mixed with clean water.  Dependent on the temperature and the substrate 5 to 6 litres of water is added to a 25 kg of powder.  The mixing must be done mechanically either by a concrete mixer or a paddle whisk, for 3 to 5 minutes.

The lightweight mortar can be applied either manually or by mechanical means on damp or dry surfaces.  If the substrate is very dry or extreme drying conditions exist the substrate should be dampened down prior to coating.

UNILIT 25 lightweight mortar remains workable for up to two hours and can be applied in temperatures from 5°C to 40°C.  The drying period is between 24-48 hours in normal conditions, after which time overcoating with silicate paint or UNILIT finishes or lime paint can be undertaken.  For silicate paint a drying period of 2 to 3 weeks must be respected. Protect from frost for 48-72 hours after its application. 

Basements and other areas susceptible to rising damp must be treated with the UNILIT 30 mortar.  The use of stainless brick mesh is recommended where there is a likelihood of structural movement.
