UNILIT BIO-E (DOMUS LG)

 PURE NATURAL HYDRAULIC LIME BINDER

“ROMAN LIME”

 

DESCRIPTION

UNILIT BIO-E is an anorganic binder based on pure natural hydraulic lime, free of all additives or any other component that could modify the chemical and physical properties of the lime.

  

APPLICATION

This pure binder is very well suited to be mixed with well-graded, clean and pure aggregate.  All kinds of mortars can be produced for masonry, repointing, base and finishing mortars, etc.

The binder UNILIT BIO-E is a product of pure hydraulic natural lime, which perfectly resists all damp problems and possible infiltration of water that could appear after application of the mortar.  This kind of mortar cures almost immediately (within 2 to 3 hours), which allows the use of this product even in cold and wet conditions.  The carbonation will last for a considerable period, depending upon the humidity, temperature and pressure (a phenomenon already known by common users of white lime).

PREPARATION

The substrate must be clean and free of all traces of oil and grease.  The day before the application of the mortar : rinse the substrate with clean water.  When the substrate has been treated with an impregnating product (silicone or similar), it is recommended to consult the supplier or manufacturer. 

BIO-E has to be mixed with a well-graded, pure and clean aggregate, pro rata of 380 to 450 kg of binder per m³ sand. In other words : in order to get a coarse mortar you need about 20 to 25% of the binder, and for a fine mortar about 25 to 30% of the binder.  This means an average of 1 volume part of binder for 3 volume parts of sand.

28 % of clean water has to be added to the dry blend to obtain a working consistency.

After gaching the mortar, it is advisable to let it rest during 1 hour before applying it.

The mixing can be done manually or mechanically, for 5 to 8 minutes.  The mortar can be applied manually or mechanically on a dry substrate.  If the substrate is too dry, it has to be dampened first.  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

25 kg bags

  

REMARK

In case of doubt regarding the substrate, consult our technical department.  The product must be stored in a dry and frost free place.  The maximum storage time is 6 months.  Our advice and information are given in good faith and depending on the latest developments of our products.  We guarantee the constant quality of our products, but do not accept any liability concerning their application.
