Containing a blend of modified, lignin-based surface-active agents that are free from chlorides, Bostik Mortar Plasticiser can be used in a range of applications, such as bricklaying, blockwork and rendering. Available in 5L and 25L bottles

Integral Waterproofer

Bostik Integral Waterproofer is a liquid additive that provides long-term water protection to mortar, non-structural concrete and rendering. It is an alkaline soap of mixed fatty acids, which reacts chemically with cement to form hydrophobic salts, which reduce water penetration. Bostik Integral Waterproofer helps reduce efflorescence and lime bloom by restricting moisture movement and helps reduce crazing in rich mixtures by controlling the rate of evaporation. It waterproofs and plasticises mortar for external or basement renderings, pointing and in swimming pools, sewers and tank linings as part of the overall waterproofing system specification. It will not corrode reinforcing metalwork, but is not suitable for use in structural concrete.

Available at all three branches

Frostproofer & Accelerator

Bostik Accelerator & Frostproofer accelerates the setting of mortar mixes year round but particularly in cold weather and during the Winter months. It also plasticises the mix to improve workability. It is ideal for bricklaying, rendering, blockwork and mortars containing embedded metal.

Available at all three branches

For external use.
