Basic MALTA M15
Mortar made out of natural hydraulic lime for masonry class M15
Basic MALTA M15 is a ready-to-use mortar based on natural hydraulic fiber, fiber-reinforced. It has completely recyclable natural materials, fired at low temperatures, reducing emissions and energy consumption. In contact with water it forms very little soluble and very stable hydrate products of a basic nature.
Applications
It is used for the consolidation of masonry structures: reinforced plasters; consolidation of vaults by making collaborative castings, reinforced repointing works and masonry works for foundations.
Certifications
Basic MALTA M15 is CE marked according to the requirements of UNI EN 998-2 for mortar for masonry class M15 and according to UNI EN 998-1 as mortar for internal and external GP CS IV.
Application
Basic MALTA M15 must be mixed with drinking water in the quantities shown in the table. Mixing must be carried out in a cement mixer or in the mixer of the spraying machine for at least 5 minutes until you get a proper plastic, homogeneous, lump-free mixture. A mortar mixer or a drill equipped with an agitator can be used, it depends on the quantity to be prepared. Mixing must take place at low speed to avoid entrapping air. It is advisable to introduce 3/4 of the required water into the mixer, adding the product and the remaining water continuously, until the desired consistency is achieved. The product must not be added during preparation and laying with no other binder. Apply with normal manual or mechanical equipment. Do not mix the product by adding water once it has started setting. In the case of mixing with plastering machine (standard models), load the hopper with Basic MALTA M15 and adjust the flowmeter at a flow rate of 5-6 l/min, depending on the machine used, until the desired consistency is achieved. In particular we suggest to use a plastering machine with the following characteristics: • Hose diameter: 30 mm • Hose length: 30 m • D7-pumps • All remaining characteristics corresponding to a plastering machine PFT G5
