£37.15 ex. VATARDEX E 90 is a specialized synthetic dispersion designed to enhance the performance of ARDEX X 7 G, ARDEX X 7 W, and ARDEX S 21 cement-based adhesives. When diluted with an equal volume of water before mixing with the ARDEX adhesive powder, ARDEX E 90 significantly improves the adhesive properties of the mortar. The resulting mixture exhibits high adhesive strength, elasticity, and water-repellent qualities, while maintaining the workability, slump resistance, and open time characteristic of standard ARDEX adhesives. Substrate preparation follows the same guidelines as for ARDEX adh

£11.52 - £986.92 ex. VATPlanicrete is a highly stable water dispersion of a specialized synthetic elastomer that is resistant to alkaline saponification and features a low glass transition temperature. This SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber)-based elastomer retains stability even after aging due to the tightly woven chemical binders that connect its polymer chains. This unique structure allows the polymer chains to adopt a parallel alignment when deformed, resulting in exceptional elasticity. Supplied as a highly fluid, white latex, Planicrete enhances the adhesion, plasticity, thixotropy, water retention, andSelect options This product has multiple variants.

£5.04 - £121.77 ex. VATThis high-strength cement waterproofer is ideal for both internal and external applications, including rendering, roof screeds, swimming pools, tanks, retaining walls, basement walls, and reservoirs. It improves the workability and plasticity of concrete and mortar in their wet state, resisting water penetration even under pressure. The product reacts with free lime in the mortar to form hydrophobic crystals, which block the pores and enhance water resistance. For best results, it should be added to the gauging water with minimal water in the mix and a properly balanced cement and sand aggregaSelect options This product has multiple variants.

£6.85 ex. VATEVERBUILD OPTI-MIX CEMENT COLOURANT is a concentrated, one-shot colourant designed to provide uniform colour to all types of mortars, rendering, concrete, and pointing. The liquid disperses evenly through the mix, allowing for adjustable shading and a wide range of colour depths. Its concentrated formula means 1 litre is equivalent to 5 litres of standard colourant, making it efficient and cost-effective. The easy-to-use gauged bottle ensures less mess compared to powdered alternatives, and the product quickly disperses in the mix for consistent results. Key points:

£2.22 - £11.19 ex. VATAlphaChem Mortar Plasticiser is designed to enhance the workability and freeze thaw resistance of brick and block laying mortars, reducing the likelihood of cracking and crazing. It may be used to replace or supplement the use of lime. BENEFITS - Mortar does not stiffen prematurely on the board but remains plastic. - Mortar does not segregate or ‘bleed’. - Mortar is less prone to drying out shrinkage. - Increased adhesive strength. - Up to 50% water reduction can be affected. - Inexpensive to use: allows cement contents to be reduced (depending on present mix design).Select options This product has multiple variants.

£12.16 - £52.51 ex. VATBond SBR is a multi-purpose synthetic polymer primer and admixture for walls and floors that enhances mortar performance by improving toughness, flexibility and tensile strength, allowing thinner applications that reduce overall construction weight. It significantly improves adhesion to backgrounds, increases resistance to water, water vapour, impact and salts, and reduces surface dusting. Bond SBR also improves workability, particularly in hot and humid conditions, with a fast drying time of approximately 15–30 minutes at 20°C.
