Basic MALTA M15/F
M15 Natural Hydraulic lime based mortar with a maximum particle size of 1.2 mm
Basic MALTA M15/F is a ready-to-use mortar based on natural hydraulic fiber, fiber-reinforced, with granulometry maximum of 1.2 mm inert; it contains completely recyclable natural materials, fired at low temperatures, reducing emissions and energy consumption; it is free from Chromium VI; it contains traditional materials with a low content of soluble salts
Applications
It is used for the consolidation of masonry structures: reinforced plasters; consolidation of vaults by making collaborative castings, FRCM systems, reinforced repointing works and masonry works for foundations.
Certifications
Basic MALTA M15/F is CE marked as non structural mortar R2 in compliance with the UNI 1504-3 and it 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. Basic MALTA M15/F is part of Kimitech BS ST 200 and Kimitech BS ST 400 system which got the CVT n. 207.
Application
Basic MALTA M15/F 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/F 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 Apply Basic MALTA M15/F from a distance of about 20 cm, from the bottom of the masonry towards the top, evenly. For plaster thicknesses greater than 30 mm, the application must be carried out in several coats, applying successive layers on the previous non-wrinkled layer. Basic MALTA M15/F must be applied on clean, dust-free surfaces, inconsistent parts, paints, grease and any other material that could affect the good anchoring. Before applying the product, wet the surface until SSD conditions are achieved. Apply Basic MALTA M15 from a distance of about 20 cm, from the bottom of the masonry towards the top, evenly.
