MALTA-FACED MASONRY BRICK HANDGUARD COMPLIES WITH EUROPEAN REGULATION COMPLIES WITH EUROPEAN REGULATION PRODUCT AND FIELDS OF APPLICATION MFV10 Color is a pre-dosed mortar in polyethylene bags containing in separate sections silico-limestone aggregates, portland cement, minerals and additives to improve the rheological characteristics of the product. The product complies with the European Standards EN 998-2 and the parameters mentioned in Chapter 11 of DM 14/01/2008 “New Technical Standards for Construction. MFV10 Color is a cement mortar specially designed for the bedding of facing bearing and nonbearing brickworks. The presence in the formulation of selected aggregates, cement quality, additives, make MFV10 Color particularly workable and easy to apply. MFV10 Color contains a mass hydrophobic agent thus ensuring a very low water absorption coming both from rain and capillary rise damp. This will greatly limit the spread of salt efflorescences. MFV10 Color has three standard colors, cement gray, Ochre yellow and brick red, but thanks to our new generation production plants of and our dosing systems we can pigment mortars with colors on request. MFV10 Color is particularly suitable for the construction of external/internal bearing/ nonbearing facing walls both in solid soft-paste and extruded bricks. It is also suitable for bearing walls in seismic zones. PREPARATION OF THE SURFACE In order not to affect the adhesion between mortar and brick, the latter must be clean and free of dust, grease and/or oil. Thanks to its special formulation, MFV10 Color can be laid directly on dry bricks. Cement mortar specially designed for the bedding of facing bearing and nonbearing brickworks. PREPARATION OF THE PRODUCT A bag of MFV10 Color should be mixed with 3.5- 4.0 liters (14 - 16%) of clean water by means of a mechanical mixer (cement mixer, kneader auger) until it reaches a plastic consistency and homogenous and but no later than three minutes. MFV10 Color can be mixed by hand using a shovel and / or trowel as long as the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. You can apply MFV10 Color by hand using a trowel, spreading a 1.0 to 1.5 cm layer of mortar of both horizontally and vertically Very low water absorption coming both from rain and capillary rise damp. This will greatly limit the spread of salt efflorescences.
