3. • Planning for Waterproofing
• The right materials for the application
• The right method for the application
• The right labor skills for the job
4. • ECONOMICAL/ ECOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES OF DRY-MIX MORTARS
• PROPERTIES GAINS
• > Uniform, guaranteed quality: No job site mistakes, long-term stability
• > Long shelf life (frost and heat resistant): Reduced waste
• > Better performance than job site mix: Less material required
• > Enhanced formulation possibilities: Advanced applications mixtures possible
• > Only paper packaging: Reduced packaging waste
• > Less material usage (< water transport): Reduced transportation cost
• > If applied correctly: < or similar cost to traditional systems
• > Productivity:
5. Productivity (for render application):
Job-site mixed mortar + manual application
Separate transport of mineral binder (cement ) and aggregates (sand, lime)
Manual mixing of mineral binder and aggregates at the site
Manual gauging of the mixture with water at the site
Manual application of the job-site mixed mortar
PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE WITH DRY-MIX MORTARS
10 m2 per man shift (100 %)
6. Pre-packed dry-mix mortar + manual application
Production of dry-mix mortar in the plant
Transport of dry-mix mortar in bags to the site
Manual gauging of the dry-mix mortar at the site
Manual and machine made application of the fresh mortar
Productivity (for render application):
25 m2 per man shift (250%)
