AMFIX Block Joint Mortar

Alemora AMFIX Block Joint Mortar is a dry-mixed (ready mix) component consisting of a fine powder, Portland cement, polymers, fibres and organic additives to improve the mortar’s properties specifically designed to give high bonding properties to Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks masonry and wall construction.

Applications:
In wall units with the laying of AAC blocks when erecting exterior and interior load bearing and non-load bearing masonry walls. Block Fix Mortar is applied to horizontal and vertical joints with the help of the Notched trowel (Toothed trowels) of the same width as the block. AMFIX mortar joints must not exceed 1/16″ of block size.

The three-part formulation gives good chemical resistance to most chemicals attack and to provide a durable, abrasion resistant waterproof finish that is hygienic and impervious. The cured grout does not transfer taints to foodstuffs, permits the entry of bacteria or dirt and is easily maintained in a sterile condition.

Laying With Blockfix Mortar:

Apply toAACBlock using an appropriately sized notched trowel. Deposit the proper a m o u n t of Block Fix Mortar along the centre of the horizontal surface to evenly distribute the mortar over surface. Use the trowel to directly apply mortar to the vertical surface, drawing it from the bottom to the top of the block. The mortar allows for approximately 10 minutes of straightening and adjustment of the unit before it begins to set. AMFIX Thin Bed Mortar must not be used when the temperature is below 4°C and avoid direct sunlight if possible. (above 45°C)
