Lime Mortar Concentrate - PHL 5.0

Overview:

Restore your weather-exposed masonry with our PHL 5.0 Lime Repointing Mortar.

This premium concentrate, available in convenient quart and gallon sizes, is formulated with no Portland cement. PHL 5.0 is formulated to target a strength comparable to NHL 5 and is intended for similar applications. PHL is a pozzolanic lime, not a natural hydraulic lime (NHL), and is not tested or certified to EN 459-1. The number in the product name is a Pro Mason product designation, not a strength rating.

By blending this lime mortar concentrate with locally sourced sand, you can create a historically accurate and exceptionally durable mortar for a long-lasting repair to masonry exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Key Features:

• PHL 5.0 Formulation: Our PHL 5.0 mortar is a pozzolanic lime mortar, a blend of dolomitic hydrated lime and a reactive metakaolin pozzolan, with no Portland cement. It's made for repairs on historic masonry that calls for a stronger lime mortar, like chimneys, parapets and other exposed work.

• Versatile Quart & Gallon Concentrates: Choose the size that suits your project needs, with each container yielding approximately 4 times its volume in ready-to-use mortar when combined with local sand.

• Enhanced Weather Resistance: PHL 5.0 is made for exposed masonry, like chimneys, parapets and facades.

• Five Classic Colors: Select from white, gray, light buff, dark buff, or dark red to help match the original mortar color of your historic structure.

• Easy Mixing and Application: Simply combine the concentrate with sand and water according to the provided instructions for a smooth, workable mortar that is easy to apply.

Ideal Applications:

• Repointing historic brick and stone masonry that calls for a stronger lime mortar

• Repairing cracks, gaps, and deteriorated mortar joints in exposed masonry

• Matching historic mortar colors and textures in challenging environments

• Repointing heritage buildings in harsh climates

Why Choose PHL 5.0 Lime Mortar?

Unlike modern cement-based mortars, which can be too rigid and trap moisture, our PHL 5.0 lime mortar is built for exposed, hard-weathering work while still allowing your masonry to breathe. This makes it ideal for use in exposed locations where resistance to weathering is crucial. By using a historically accurate mortar with the appropriate hydraulic properties, you ensure the longevity and beauty of your restoration work, even in challenging conditions.

Important Note: PHL 5.0 is specifically designed for masonry exposed to high weathering conditions. For masonry in sheltered locations or requiring less strength, consider our PHL 2.0 or PHL 3.5 mortars.

Mixing Instructions:

1. Combine one part PHL 5.0 concentrate with 2.5 to 3 parts clean masonry sand.

1. Gradually add water until the desired consistency is achieved.

1. Mix thoroughly until the mortar is smooth and homogenous.

Safety Precautions:

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, when handling mortar.

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines for proper mixing and application.
