Application Instructions
MIXING
In all cases, add to mix or to gauging water at an addition rate of 125ml to 250ml per 50kg cement, depending on the degree of plasticizing/entrainment required.
Note: remember to reduce required quantity of water accordingly. One litre of Feb Febmix Plus added to a 200ltr drum of gauging water will be sufficient for gauging approx. 4 x 50 kg cement for mortar or render mixes.
FEB FEBMIX PLUS APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
Feb Febmix Plus may be either pre-mixed with the water or added directly into the mix at the same time as the water. NB: the superior plasticising qualities of Feb Febmix Plus will result in a significant reduction in water demands of any given mix.
Feb Febmix Plus can be used with other admixtures provided these are added separately to the mix. It can be used for all types of Portland Cement, including sulphate-resisting. It can also be used in sand mortars as a further precaution against frost.
