Elotex® ERA100

• Efficient against primary efflorescence caused by the precipitation of water-soluble salts on the surface of mineral binder
• Excellent wetting and mixing properties
• Improvements in colour stability and brightness
• Improves mortar rheology
• Suitable for decreasing secondary efflorescence.
• Easy to dose with low dust formation

Industries

ELOTEX® ERA100 is a raw material for building and construction industry, such as ready-mixed dry mortars. It is used as an organic additive in the formulations of:

• Tile grouts (cement-based)
• Renders (cement-based, base coats, topcoats, e.g, skim coats, one-coat (monocouche))
• Floor levelling compounds.
• Brick layer mortars / stencil mortars

• The usual dosage of Elotex® ERA100 is between 0.1 and 0.4% (weight % on dry mortar). Prolonged mixing time during dry mortar production should be avoided.
• Elotex® ERA100 is compatible with standard mortar additives, such as redispersible polymer powders, accelerators, retarders, cellulose ethers etc.

ELOTEX® ERA100 is highly active, efflorescence reducing additive in powder form based on natural resin technology.

Standard packaging: 15 kg paper sacks with polyethylene liners. Other types of packaging are available on request.

• Store Elotex® powder in a cool, dry place in original packaging at temperatures not exceeding 25 °C and process within six months after the date of delivery. When storing Elotex® products avoid higher stacking of the goods to minimize pressure on the product and avoid storing in contact with moisture or heat, or in containments open for an extended period, as this may result in blocking of the powder. If the product is stored for longer than six months after the date of delivery, users are advised to evaluate properties required for the intended use.
• Elotex® ERA100 can be blended in all commercial mixers with other dry additives to produce cement- based finished products in powder form. Significant temperature increases caused by strong shear forces should be avoided. All hydraulically and non- hydraulically curing dry mortars used with Elotex® ERA100 can be easily mixed with water before application.
