Lime Juice complies with the Australian Masonry Structures AS 3700 Standards.
Lime Juice makes working with cement easier. Just 50 grams (2 x cap fulls) per 20 kilograms of cement extends plastering mortar setting times, increasing cohesion and adhesion while decreasing the risk of defects. Completely non-caustic, bricklayers can start work immediately without risking their safety and with no additional PPE.
Benefits of Lime Juice lime replacement:
- It increases the adhesion of the fresh mixture to the substrate.
- It extends the mortar setting time.
- It improves plasticity through its air-entraining action.
- It increases the cohesion of the mortar, thus preventing sagging.
- It eliminates the risk of blistering.
- It increases masonry wall strength.
- It significantly reduces the cost of mortar.
- It eliminates lime storage problems.
- It does not contain chlorides or other corrosive ingredients.
Lime Juice used as an admixture in mortar complies with Australian Standard AS 3700 Section 11.4.2.4 requirements for:
- Compressive Strength (AS 1012.9).
- Flexural Strength (AS 3700 Appendix D6).
- Durability (M2 Mortar) (AS 3700 Appendix E).
Lime Juice also complies with AS 1478.1 for air-entraining admixtures (Bleed Test AS 1012.6) and chemical requirements (AS 1478.1 Section 1 & 2) when used as instructed.
Lime Juice has been designed for longer setting times than standard mortars (AS 1012.18).
Usage Instructions:
For Masonry and Paving Mortar, use 50g (2 capfuls) of Lime Juice per 20kg of cement.
