Description

Crepi ADDMIX is a carefully formulated blend of chemical additives designed to be mixed with basaltic rock sand and Ordinary Portland Cement (CEM II) to produce high-quality traditional rendering mortars. The additive improves workability, adhesion, and finishability while reducing cracking and increasing open time for easier application.

Application Instructions

  • Surface Preparation:
    • Ensure substrate is sound, clean and free of dust, oil or loose material.
    • Dampen very dry surfaces before applying mortar to avoid rapid water loss.
  • Mixing:
    • Add Crepi ADDMIX to the dry sand–cement blend and mix thoroughly before adding water.
    • Adjust water to achieve required workability; do not overwater.
  • Application:
    • Apply render using standard trowel techniques. Work within the increased open time provided by the additive.
    • Finish and cure as per standard rendering practices.
  • Note: Always trial a small batch to confirm final appearance and performance before large-scale use.

Coverage Calculator

  • Coverage depends on mortar mix ratio and thickness; Crepi ADDMIX is dosed by weight to the cement component (typical 1–3% of cement weight).
  • Example: For 100 kg cement in a mortar mix, add approx. 1–3 kg Crepi ADDMIX (adjust per project requirements).

Suitable Applications

  • Exterior and interior rendering mortars
  • Traditional cement–sand renders using basaltic sand
  • Repair mortars and leveling coats
  • Where improved open time and crack reduction are required

Compatibility & Limitations

  • Compatible with CEM II cement systems and basaltic rock sand.
  • Not a substitute for structural admixtures or polymer-modified pre-mixes where those are specified.
  • Trial mixes recommended for coloured or decorative renders.

Safety & Handling

  • Avoid inhalation of dust; use a dust mask during mixing.
  • Wear gloves and eye protection to avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.
  • Dispose of empty packaging responsibly; keep product away from children.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is used as an additive with basaltic rock sand and CEM II cement to produce rendering mortars with improved workability, adhesion and reduced cracking.

Typical dosage is 1–3% by weight of cement. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended dosage and perform a trial mix.

It’s formulated for use with basaltic rock sand as specified, but it may be used with other suitable sands — perform trial mixes to confirm performance.

Crepi ADDMIX is a powder additive and generally has minimal effect on colour; for coloured or decorative renders, do a sample trial first.

It improves adhesion and reduces cracking but is not a waterproofing membrane. Use appropriate waterproofing products where full water resistance is required.

Yes — it is suitable for repair mortars and leveling coats to improve workability and reduce shrinkage cracks.

Store in original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Shelf life is typically 12 months.

No special equipment — mix into the dry sand–cement blend and then add water; use standard mixers for best consistency.

It can be used in a wide range of temperatures, but always follow good site practices (avoid extreme temperatures) and adjust water and curing methods accordingly.

Standard curing practices apply. Because Crepi ADDMIX can increase open time, ensure appropriate protection from rapid drying or rain during the extended working period.
