MAXJOINT®
WATERPROOF, NON-SHRINK CEMENT-BASE POINTING MORTAR FOR JOINTS IN BRICK, STONE AND OTHER TYPES OF MASONRY

Description

MAXJOINT is a cement based product which, together with pure silica and selected aggregates it is given pointing characteristics. It re-points joints in all types of masonry, brick, stone, tile, terra cotta, limestone. There are two types of mortar depending on the width of the joint to be sealed.
Small joints up to 4 mm. require type 0-4, and for larger joints use type 4-20.

Advantages

• Non-shrink, does not pull away from brick.
• High structural strength.
• It is also waterproof.
• Available in colours on special request.
• Extreme durability eliminates future maintenance.
• Non-metallic, does not rust out, will not discolour wall.
• Excellent colour stability.
• Available in two types depending on width of joint, 0-4 and 4-20

Application

Flush all joints clean with water or compressed air and then repoint.
MAXJOINT should be mixed with clean water to a regular mortar consistency, and enough material may be mixed to last one hour.
MAXJOINT type 0-4 is mixed with between 6 and 7 litres of water per each 25 kg. bag., that is 26 ± 2% by weight.
Type 4-20 is mixed with between 4.75 and 5.75 litres of water per each 25 kg. bag, or 21 ± 2 % by weight.
Retemper after a soaking period of thirty minutes to fatten the mix and improve workability.
MAXJOINT can be applied by tuck-pointing trowel, trowel or caulking gun for faster placement.
