MasterEmaco S 285 TIX is a cement-free pozzolanic lime masonry  mortar  made  with  natural  siliceous  aggregates with  a  maximum  diameter  of  2  mm. It guarantees a compressive  strength >15 MPa  and is therefore classifiable as an M15 type masonry mortar according to the  European  standard  UNI  EN  998/2. 

MasterEmaco  S 285 TIX can be applied either by spraying with continuous cycle plastering machines, by hand, even overhead, or by casting.

BENEFITS:

The peculiar characteristics of MasterEmaco S 285 TIX are:

• complete absence of cement: the absolute absence of cement makes MasterEmaco S 285 TIX a product fully compatible with the masonry that you want to consolidate;
• high mechanical performance: high mechanical strengths  are  exceptional requirements  for  a  lime product, which thus combines historical and technological needs with structural and executive ones;
• high adhesion to masonry; both by shear (important for bedding) and by direct traction (important for reinforced slabs and reinforced vaults);
• high adhesion even in overhead applications, minimizing waste (ZERO GRAVITY);
• very  low content of  water-soluble salts: MasterEmaco S 285 TIX is in  fact  characterized  by  a  low  value of electrical  conductivity, does not add salts containing sulphates,  chlorides,  nitrates,  potassium  and  sodium and does not contribute to the phenomena of chemical-physical degradation linked to formation  and crystallization of the salts themselves;
• versatility and simplicity of application: by trowel or spray it is used for consolidation interventions in thicknesses up to 5 cm. For interventions with a thickness  of >5 cm, it can also be used for casting, adding aggregates to the mortar in order to obtain high-strength mortar or lime concretes;
• high  permeability  to  water  vapor: important to allow normal transpiration of the masonry;
• low  capillary absorption: important so that water from the outside does not enter the masonry;
• no reaction to fire: the material is not combustible and does not produce fumes (Euroclass A1)

FIELDS OF APPLICATION:

MasterEmaco S 285  TIX thanks to its high mechanical resistance, despite  being  a  cement-free  lime  mortar,  is used for the consolidation of masonry structures in many situations such as:

• reinforced plates;
• reinforcement of vaults, also reinforced with carbon fiber or aramid bars from the MasterBrace BAR range;
• bedding for foundations of curtain walls or for works in general that require high-strength masonry mortars;
• CEMENT-FREE  concretes: for thicknesses  greater than 5 cm, aggregates  of  suitable  granulometry  are added to MasterEmaco S 285 TIX, thus obtaining high-strength grout or lime concretes;
• small thanks of times;
• reinforced  joints (restyling  of  reinforced  mortar  joints with carbon fiber bars

CONSUMPTION:

• Mortar: 18 kg / m² per cm of thickness.
• Concrete:  approx.  13  kg / m²  per cm of thickness (adding 35% gravel or crushed stone).

PACKAGING:

• 25 kg bag
