Trowelite
Trowelite is a mortar admixture that improves the workability, cohesion and improves resistance to freeze/ thaw cycles, by entraining a controlled quantity of air to the mortar mix.
Applications
- High strength Trowelite is recommended for sand cement mortars to improve workability, surface finish and freeze/thaw cycle resistance properties.and high performance concrete.
Advantages
- Reducing permeability.
- Improving mortar plasticity.
- Chloride free, safe for embedded steel.
- Compatible with most types of Portland cement.
- Improves bond strength.
- Improves frost resistance.
- Can be used to replace lime.
- Strength increase through water reduction.
