Class R2 Lightweight Concrete Repair Mortar (EN1504-3)
Overview
Monolite is a lightweight, high build, shrinkage compensated, polymer modified mortar for the repair, rendering and profiling of concrete, brick or stone substrates.
Monolite is a single component cementitious mortar which incorporates the most advanced cement chemistry, microsilica, fibre and styrene acrylic copolymer technology. This results in a rapid hardening, low density mortar with enhanced polymer properties. The thixotropic nature of the product enables easy high build trowel application for the repair of voids and the rendering and re-profiling of both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The product is supplied as a single component system requiring only the addition of clean water.
Advantages
- Incorporates the latest proven cement chemistry, microsilica, fibre and styrene acrylic copolymer technology
- Pre-packaged material requiring mixing with clean water to give an easily trowellable mortar with a maximum single application thickness of 100mm in vertical, horizontal and overhead situations
- High bond strength exceeds tensile strength of concrete, thus ensuring monolithic performance of the repair
- Improved tensile and impact strength. Excellent low sag properties
- Ideal for non-structural repairs and applications where additional dead load must be kept to a minimum
- Economic low density mortar generally requiring no substrate or inter-layer priming. Part bags can be mixed
- Easily overcoated with specialist membranes to provide further protection and aesthetic quality.
