Historic Masonry and Grouting Mortar MG II, fine, 25 kg
HISTOCAL®
Otterbein MG II Mörtelgruppe / mortar group: M 2,5, EN 998-2, NM IIa, DIN V 18580.
Feine Körnung / grain size fine: 0 - 2 mm.
Based on natural hydraulic lime. For masonry and grouting.
Composition
Otterbein HMF - MG II consists of na tural hydraulic lime NHL 5 acc. to EN 459-1 and grain-classified crushed lime sands.
Properties
- grading curve accordi ng to historic findings
- free from cement and synthetic additives
- high natural water re tention properties
- very good side adhesion
- highly permeable
- low-tension hardening process
- low E-module - high elasticity
Application
For laying bricks and grouting of hist oric masonry (e.g. natural stones, bricks). Historic Masonry- and Grouting Mortar MG IIa is recommended in case of buildings subjected to humidity.
Substrate
The substrate must be dry, clean and free from loosely attached particles. Sufficiently wet absorbing masonry before.
Processing
To be processed with all commonly used mortar mixers (continuous mixer, gravity mixer, blunger) and by hand. Watch for uniform and correct consistency (well earth-moist to plastic).
New construction of masonry: For the simultaneous bricklaying and grouting.
Subsequent grouting to re novate existing masonry:
Scrape out joints and clean.
Working procedure acc. to DIN:
1st working step: first vertical joint, then horizontal joint
2nd working step: first horizontal joint, then vertical joint
Joint finishing through smooth finish or broom finish.
After-treatment
Protect fresh mortar until sufficient hardening (usually several weeks) against premature dryi ng-out through sun radiation and draft (e.g. hinge with jute sheets kept moist or spray with mist nozzles). The mortar must be protected against frost for several weeks until sufficient hardening has been achieved!
Special notes
The air- and surface temperature mu st al least amount to 5 °C during processing. Otterbein HMF - MG II shall only be used in the original state without additives.
Storage
Dry, if possible on wooden shelves and protected against draft. Storage time shall not exceed 6 months.
