Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) based premixed mortar for stonework, brickwork, wall repairs and masonry works. Suitable for both building rehabilitation and new construction. Specially designed to be mixed with dry local aggregates for rehabilitation of historic and/or protected buildings due its high compatibility with traditional systems. Suitable in interior and exterior situations.
BEYEM NEOCAL PREMIX is suitable for:
- Stonework, ceramic bricks, brickwork, and other rehabilitation substrates.
Substrates must be clean, compact and free of substances that reduce adhesion such as dust, oil, grease and with no loose material. Substrates must submit an adequate porosity and surface roughness. Dampen substrates with water to cool down if they should be too warm, in case of wind or over absorbent substrates and wait until the thin layer of water disappears. It is a good practice curing with a fine spray of clean water 24 h after application. Curing operation is essential to avoid rapid drying and depends on the degree of porosity and surface absorption.
Do not apply on cellular concrete, gypsum-based plasters, paint, metal surfaces, plastic, surface waterproofing products or materials with low mechanical properties.
Mix manually or mechanically BEYEM NEOCAL PREMIX with 0-2 mm dry aggregates (1:3 or 1:4 rate) with 3,75-4,75 l per each 25 kg batch of clean water until a homogeneous, creamy and lump-free paste is obtained. Let the mix stand for 5 minutes before application.
Spread the mixed product with a trowel onto the substrate. Place the brick over the fresh mortar layer and press to ensure adhesion. Smooth with the same trowel.
- Always mix with the specified amount of water.
- Do not apply below 5ºC or above 30ºC.
- Do not apply when there is risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
- Under extreme weather conditions (gusty winds or high temperatures) drying may occur faster than usual.
- For renovation/refurbishment works, substrates must be completely cleaned before product application, removing any salts and materials from previous works.
- Never re-mix the product once it has started to set because this causes a decrease in the properties of the mortar.
- Beyem Neocal Premix: use dry aggregates with a filler fraction (< 100 µm) content higher than 5%.
