Consumption

Yield

Application steps

MIXING

Small batch

Important: In order to avoid segregation issues, always mix the total content of one bag. If less than a 30 kg (66 lb) of King® 1-1-6 is required, dry mix - without water – the entire content of a bag in a clean container, take the required amount, and then add water to the amount withdrawn from the mixture.

   

Large batch

Always mix the entire contents of the bag. Mix the King® 1-1-6 with a maximum of 5 L (1.3 US gal.) of water per 30 kg (66 lb) bag in a clean mortar mixer. Pour 4.5 L (1.2 US gal.) of water into the mixer and add 30 kg (66 lb) of King® 1-1-6. Mix for three (3) to five (5) minutes, or five (5) to ten (10) minutes when using a coloured mortar or when a colourant is added at the job site. Allow the mortar to stand for a short period of time. Using the remaining water, adjust the mortar to obtain the desired consistency.

   

Once the desired consistency is achieved, it is not recommended to add water to the coloured mortars in order to compensate for water loss caused by evaporation. Adding water may affect the final colour of the product.

APPLICATION

The application of the mortar must comply with the requirements of Sections 6 and 7 of CSA-A371-14.

CLEAN UP

In order to avoid the use of chemicals, it is always recommended to remove as much mortar splashes or stains as possible before the material hardens. Uses water, a piece of burlap or wood. If the use of cleaning products is necessary, be sure to contact the manufacturer of the product to validate the compatibility and the procedure to follow. It’s important to mention to the manufacturer that it is a hydrated lime mortar based with the addition of Iron and Titanium Oxides pigment when coloured.

   

Regardless of the technique or product selected, it is essential to preserve the integrity of the mortar.

   

Be sure to clean a test area before proceeding with the work.

   

Clean all tools and equipment after use with water. Once hardened, the product can only be removed mechanically.

Clay Brick Facing

Clay brick units often have a high absorption rate. This is one more reason to use a lime mortar. The lime particle, by its sheet form, has the characteristic of retaining water in the mortar mixture.

Brick or Stone Concrete

Concrete brick units often have a low absorption rate. Therefore in order to reflect this characteristic, it is not uncommon for the mason to adjust the required amount of water.

Limestone Facing

Limestone units often have a medium absorption rate. Outdoors, lime-based mortars are very useful in managing rainwater. Installation of masonry elements demands the use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself.

Sandstone Facing

Generally, sandstones have a high absorption rate. Outdoors, lime mortars are of great help in managing rainwater. Installation of masonry elements demands use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself.

Silico-Calcareous Facing

Installation of masonry elements demands use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself. The mortar used must also conform to the light movements of the facing without deforming.

Concrete Blocks Indoor

The type of mortar to be used for installing concrete blocks indoors depends on the type of application. Since there will be no rainwater to manage, lime mortars are not necessary.

Interior Chimney

Since it takes less energy to manufacture lime than Portland Cement, it is always preferred from an environmental standpoint, to use a lime mortar.

Walls Built From 1975 to Today

Walls built between 1975 and today are generally constructed from a steel or wooden structure to which a masonry facade is attached. These walls are often built using a mortar containing masonry cement or a pure lime and Portland cement based mortar.

Retaining Walls

In addition to usually being exposed to de-icing salts, retaining walls, just like chimneys and parapets, are often exposed to elements such as wind and rain. Furthermore, they are exposed to a large number for freeze-thaw cycles without much protection.
