What It Is
C A Clay 20kg is a high-quality, fine-grained clay commonly used in mortar mixes for bricklaying, rendering, and general masonry applications. It enhances the workability, plasticity, and bond strength of traditional mortar, making it a trusted additive for both heritage restorations and modern construction projects.

Key Features

  • Fine-Textured Clay: Provides smooth, consistent mixing with sand and cement.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for bricklaying mortars, renders, and lime-based mixes.
  • Improves Workability: Enhances the feel and spread of mortar for easier application.
  • 20kg Bag: Convenient size for both small jobs and larger-scale blending.
  • High Plasticity: Increases cohesion and helps retain water in mixes for better curing.

Benefits

  • Smoother Mortar Application: Easier to spread and shape, reducing fatigue and effort.
  • Stronger Bonding: Improves adhesion between mortar and masonry surfaces.
  • Reduced Cracking: Helps control shrinkage and drying cracks in traditional mortar.
  • Ideal for Heritage Work: Essential for traditional lime mortars in restoration projects.
  • Cost-Effective Additive: Boosts the performance of sand-cement mixes at minimal cost.

Landscape Ideas

  • Outdoor Fireplaces: Ideal in clay-rich mixes for high-temperature durability.
  • Masonry Seating Areas: Achieve a smooth finish and consistent bonding in curved or custom designs.
  • Planter Walls: Incorporate into mortar for added cohesion and water retention.
  • Stone Features: Use in traditional or lime mortars for natural stone projects with authentic finishes.

How to Use It

  1. Mix C A Clay with clean brickies sand and cement or lime in your chosen ratio.
  2. A typical mix: 1 part cement, 1 part C A Clay, and 6 parts sand (adjust as needed).
  3. Add clean water gradually while mixing until the desired consistency is achieved.
  4. Use immediately for laying bricks or blocks, or for rendering surfaces.
  5. Keep mortar damp during curing to prevent premature drying and cracking.

Coverage Example
1 x 20kg bag of C A Clay is typically added to multiple mortar batches, depending on your mix ratio.
As a guide:

  • One bag can be used in up to 0.2 cubic meters of mortar mix.
