UNILIT B-FLUID 0-1-2-3-4

NATURAL HYDRAULIC LIME GROUTS FOR INJECTION, STATIC REINFORCEMENT OR STABILISATION

 DESCRIPTION

UNILIT B-FLUID 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are ready mixed mortars based on an inorganic binder of natural hydraulic lime, and a filler.  Pozzolanas can be added to it, if necessary or desired, to adjust the degree of hydraulicity of the product. 

UNILIT B-FLUID 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are characterized by a low content of soluble salts, a low modulus of elasticity and high vapour permeability.  The mortars are perfectly stable and delicately prepared so as to limit problems of microfissures and premature drying out.

APPLICATION

These three types of mortars with different granular sizes, are specially destined for application (by injection or pouring)  on walls consisting of different components.  For example : the core of a wall consisting primarily of earth, clay, stone and other materials, will after severe water degradation, be washed out to a degree where only the outer walls remain as masonry.  The injection of UNILIT B-FLUID 4 will provide linkage between the two façades to restabilise the structure. UNILIT B-FLUID 2 is a finer stabilising material used where cracking is evident due to movement of shear. After drilling a hole with a diameter of 40 to 50 mm and inserting a 20 mm diameter  rustproof metal or glassfiber tube, the B-FLUID 2 can be poured in, which will result in the stabilisation of the wall.

UNILIT B-FLUID 0 will be injected as a final grouting, to fill up the remaining small cavities.

The mortars UNILIT B-FLUID 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 will store a large quantity of salts which may come from the substrate and migrate because of humidity.  B-FLUID 0, 2 and 4 have this capacity due to the great natural porosity and low soluble salt content of their binder.  This guarantees the performance and extended life of the mortar.

PREPARATION

B-FLUID 0 has to be mixed with 25 to 30% of clean water, B-FLUID 1 and 2 with 18 % of clean water, B-Fluid 3 and 4 with 14 % of clean water.  The mixing has to be done mechanically, for 5 to 8 minutes.  The mortars are applied manually or with the aid of a pump.

The mortars are workable for 2 hours.  Their drying period is 24 to 48 hours.  They have to be protected from frost for 48 to 72 hours after their application.

PACKING
