Litokol building mixtures: purpose and variety of the range

At present, it is impossible to imagine home repair without special building mixtures. They can be designed for a variety of repairs. It is important to note that such compositions greatly facilitate installation. It is worthwhile to elaborate on Litokol products.

Italy is one of the largest countries of construction mixes. It is there that the famous Litokol plant is located, which produces similar solutions. According to most experts, the products of this company can rightly be considered high-quality and reliable.Today, this company produces and sells mortars for various construction purposes: for gluing, priming, waterproofing, and grouting.

It should be noted that Litokol mortars can boast some positive characteristics.

• Long shelf life. These construction solutions can be stored for many years, and at the same time they will not lose their beneficial properties at all.
• Easy to use. Litokol mixtures do not require special technology of breeding and application, so any person can easily use such compositions on their own.
• Environmental friendliness. These solutions are made from absolutely safe substances, which is officially confirmed by certificates.
• High stability to external influences. Litokol construction compounds are characterized by excellent moisture resistance, as well as chemical and mechanical resistance.
• High performance indicator. The solutions of this manufacturer allow you to increase productivity almost intwice.
• Affordable price. Purchase of such a building mix will be affordable for any buyer.

But despite such a rather big list of advantages, Litokol building products also have certain negative characteristics.

• Can not be applied to metal and plastic. After all, this mixture in contact with such surfaces can contribute to their destruction.
• Can not be used for waterproofing non-porous materials. When applied to such surfaces, Litokol formulations will not be able to provide good protection against water, they are best used exclusively for porous substrates.
• No other building elements can be added. When preparing the desired Litokol solution, it is not worth adding additional ingredients (cement, lime), otherwise it will simply lose all its useful properties and characteristics.

Currently, the Litokol factory produces various types of building mixtures.

• Today, the Aquamaster sample is a fairly common solution. It can be used for both exterior and interior. This model is a one-component elastic waterproofing, which is made on the basis of water dispersion of various synthetic resins.It should be noted that Litokol Aquamaster dries quite quickly after application to the plane, which greatly simplifies installation work. Surfaces coated with such a construction mixture do not need to be further treated with primer and other solutions. In addition, this sample can safely boast the lowest level of emissions of all kinds of volatile substances.

• Another popular model of this mixture is the sample. Hidroflex. It is a one-component solvent-free paste. In the manufacture of such a composition used synthetic resins and various inert fillers. Often these building mixtures are used when installing wall coverings, self-leveling floor, as well as for waterproofing cement screed, plaster.
• The next sample is Litocare matt. It has the form of protective impregnation, which is made on the basis of a special solvent. As a rule, this composition is used in the event that it is necessary to significantly enhance the color of ceramics or natural stone. And often such a mixture is used for grouting and protecting the surface from stains.

• Common model can be called composition Idrostuk-m. It comes in the form of a special latex additive. Most often it is used when grouting. It should be noted that such mixtures can significantly increase the resistance of the material to water absorption, cold resistance, the level of adhesion.
• And also quite often a mixture is used in construction. Litostrip. This model is produced in the form of a transparent gel. This remover is mainly used to clean various surfaces from stains and streaks. It is fairly easy to apply to the coating and dries quickly, so everyone can work with it.

Among the various samples Litokol can be found a considerable number of different primers.

• The most popular type is mortar. Primer. It is represented by a two-component epoxy composition. It can be used for dense concrete, bearing walls, partitions, screed plaster, anhydrite screeds.
• Composition Litocontact It is also a primer. It has the appearance of an adhesive solution made on an acrylic basis. It is used, as a rule, for internal work.It can be applied to virtually any concrete or mosaic surface.

Among the products Litokol can be found and special self-leveling mixture. One of them is the composition Litoliv S10 Express. It is produced in the form of dry matter, made on the basis of binding mineral fillers.

Before applying this framework, be sure to dilute it with water, and then apply with a conventional spatula. Such a composition can be used to align the horizontal surfaces in almost any room. But it is worth remembering that the material is subject to direct contact with water, it can not be applied.

Currently, the company Litokol produces a rather large number of mixtures for putty.

• One of them is the model Litofinish fasad. It is made on the basis of white cement with polymer additives and special fillers. It is important to note that this composition has a higher frost resistance and moisture resistance.
• Another putty is a mixture Litogips Finish. It is made on the basis of astringent gypsum, inert fillers and special organic additives. This product has a high degree of plasticity, a high level of adhesion and excellent resistance to mechanical damage after drying.

Among the plaster mixes can be noted some of the most popular.

• Mixture Litokol CR30 can rightly be called one of the most common plaster foundations among consumers. Before direct application to the surface, it must be diluted with water so that a plastic, uniform composition is obtained. Such a solution will have high adhesion, good resistance to mechanical damage.
• Composition Litotherm Grafica Sil It is also a plaster base. It has the appearance of a polymer silicone mixture with a special decorative effect "bark beetle". Most often it is used for finishing finishing plastered surfaces. It should be said that this model boasts a special water-repellent ability, high resistance to cracking, good protection from mold and mildew.

To date, this manufacturer produces a fairly large number of various compositions for waterproofing.

• Coverflex it is safe to call one of these solutions. Make this mixture on the basis of conventional cement. It has a high degree of elasticity, full water resistance, excellent resistance to chemicals and mechanical damage.
• Waterproofing composition is a model Litoblock Aqua. This mixture has the form of a quick-hardening cement slurry, which is made on the basis of cement. It boasts quite high rates of frost resistance, moisture resistance. This building composition does not cause corrosion of metal structures, does not require pre-treatment with a primer and does not lose its strength at all during operation.

• Currently Litokol mortars are widely used. in various installation works. So, quite often they are used in the alignment of various coatings (leveling system tiles, walls, floors).
