VITCO GROUP BLOCK FIX

BLOCK JOINTING MORTAR

Description
VITCO BLOCK FIX is a dry pre-mixed factory produced, thin bed adhesive mortar for laying / fixing blocks, and other similar masonry units. VITCO BLOCK FIX is chemically modified and only requires the addition of clean water.
Surface Preparation
  • Before application of VITCO BLOCK FIX surface of the block should be slightly wet.
  • The masonry unit should be clean, with no loose particles or dust for better bonding.
  • The surface must be structurally sound. Efflorescence and any other contaminant which could impair the natural bond should be removed.
  • Surface defects such as cracks, holes or voids should be repaired prior to application.
Mixing

It is very important that VITCO BLOCK FIX should be thoroughly mixed with clean water before use. Mixing ratio is depending on the thickness of the product to be applied and approximate 25-30 % clean potable water and 70% of powder. Water is added in stages to get a smooth, uniform, workable mix. Allow ample time for initial mixing.

Ensure that no powder is left unmixed at the bottom of the vessel.
