Efflorescence, the bane of many construction projects, can mar the appearance and longevity of building materials. Enter ELOTEX^® ERA200, an extraordinarily potent, efflorescence-reducing, and hydrophobizing additive offered in the convenience of powder form, fortified by natural resin technology.

Unleashing ELOTEX^® ERA200’s Power

ELOTEX^® ERA200 takes center stage as a crucial raw material within the building and construction industry, particularly in the realm of ready-mixed dry mortars. This innovative additive, hailing from natural resin technology, emerges as an organic powerhouse, significantly enhancing the performance of various mortar formulations. These include:

• Tile Grouts (Cement-Based): Elevate the quality of cement-based tile grouts, safeguarding them against the perils of primary and secondary efflorescence triggered by water-soluble salt precipitation.
• Renders (Cement-Based): Enhance cement-based renders across the spectrum, including base coats, topcoats (e.g., skim coats), and one-coat applications (monocouche).
• Floor Levelling Compounds: Optimize the efficiency and performance of floor levelling compounds while keeping efflorescence at bay.
• Brick Layer Mortars / Stencil Mortars: Fortify brick layer mortars and stencil mortars, ensuring the aesthetics and durability of your projects.

Efflorescence Resistance and Beyond

ELOTEX^® ERA200 doesn’t merely combat efflorescence; it offers a comprehensive suite of enhancements for your mortar formulations:

• Primary and Secondary Efflorescence: Effectively ward off both primary and secondary efflorescence, thwarting water-soluble salt precipitation on the mineral binder’s surface.
• Surface Hydrophobicity: Elevate surface hydrophobicity, ensuring that your building materials remain impervious to moisture over time.
• Aesthetic Preservation: Maintain the aesthetics of your construction materials for the long haul, preserving their color stability and brightness.
• Wetting and Mixing Properties: Streamline the mortar preparation process with excellent wetting and mixing properties.
• Mortar Rheology: Enhance mortar rheology, achieving the desired consistency and workability.
• User-Friendly Dosing: Easily dose ELOTEX^® ERA200 with minimal dust formation, making it a breeze to handle.

Customized Performance for Your Formulation

ELOTEX^® ERA200’s performance can be tailored to meet your specific formulation requirements. Our dedicated Application Technology Group stands ready to provide personalized guidance and support.

Dosage Recommendations

The typical dosage of ELOTEX^® ERA200 ranges from 0.1% to 0.4% (weight % on dry mortar). During dry mortar production, it’s advisable to avoid prolonged mixing for optimal results.

Compatibility with Standard Mortar Additives

ELOTEX^® ERA200 seamlessly integrates with standard mortar additives, including redispersible polymer powders, accelerators, retarders, cellulose ethers, and more.
