Make mortaring easy with EMPIRE Slick, the ultimate mortar additive.
Applying mortar to EMPIRE products can be challenging using traditional sand and cement mixes alone. With EMPIRE Slick powdered mortar additive, mortar flows freely and smoothly while being applied (making it easier to pump or bag), but hardens with the same strength and properties as traditional M3(exp) or M4(exp) brickwork mortars once cured.
With no effect on mortar colour once cured, EMPIRE Slick can be added to any mortar mix. (This is not an air entraining product like 'Bycol' or similar)
Powdered additive to turn water into a jelly like consistency and make the mortar flow under pressure
Mortaring made easy via pump, gun, or bag
Works with standard M3(exp) or M4(exp) Brickies mortar
Recommended for all EMPIRE Click and Stick applications
Available in 500g, 1kg, 5kg, and 10kg tubs
Mortar Guns and Bags also available
We DO NOT recommend the use of premixed bagged mortars, we recommend you site batch using batch boxes for accuracy.
This is a high grade mortar mix found in brickwork specifications. This mortar suits the majority of building applications and brick types including EMPIRE Brick.
Mortar proportions are always expressed as the proportion of cement to lime to sand. "M4(exp) Mix" has one part cement, to zero lime, and 6 parts of BRICKIES LOAM also known as Brickies Sand or Brickies Mix.
Simply add an additional one part of EMPIRE Slick to complete the mix, and adjust accordingly for more or less flow depending on your method of application & weather conditions.
We DO NOT recommend the use of pre-mixed, bagged mortars, it is wiser to do your own site batching using some form of batching box.
