SILICOfix is well formulated factory made ready to use Polymerized Drymix Block Jointing Mortar which can be used for laying AAC Blocks and other types of Light Weight blocks. It is a high quality water resistant Thin Bed Mortar specially formulated after extensive research and studies. It is predominantly manufactured for replacement of traditional/conventional site-mixed cement-sand mortar and block jointing thin set adhesives. Silicofix is so user-friendly that jointing AAC/Light Weight Blocks can be done with speed and efficiency.
SILICOfix is ready to use by just adding required quantity of water to it at site to achieve an easily applied mortar giving a strong and durable joints of 2 mm to 3 mm. It is convenient to use and the work place remains neat, clean and hygienic at the time of execution of masonry work at site.
SILICOfix is manufactured by M/s. Precise Conchem Pvt. Ltd., at their plant located at GIDC Panoli, Bharuch District of Gujarat in an automated process according to formulations based on various products studies and research undertaken. The plant is one of the most modern Plants in India, in which all the critical manufacturing processes and operations are completely controlled by P.L.C SYSTEMS (Programmed Logic Controller). The plant has the capacity to produce 25,000 bags @ 40 kg per bag of Polymerized Drymix Mortar/Plaster per day. This plant can be remotely monitored through CCTV cameras installed within the plant area. The company assure, seamless supply of 100% consistent high quality mortars and plasters at all point of times, round the year

- Easy to apply. Single Component Polymerized Drymix Block Jointing Mortar
- Only required quantity of water needs to be added at site.
- Joint bed thickness of 2 mm to 3 mm only
- Quick drying & Rapid setting
- High Water Resistant Mortar due to perfect compaction - Provides water tight block joints
- Better water retention properties
- Water curing is not required after application
- Reduced Shrinkage
- No raking of joints required before plastering
- Higher productivity – Fast setting mortar allows continuous laying and takes less time than conventional mortar combined with good workability and spreadability of mortar.
- Increases speed of construction – only 24 hours required before next stage like plastering, coating etc.
- The quick setting properties of the mortar eliminate any restriction on the height of walls that can be built in a day.
- Improved flow/”spread under trowel,” workability, water retention and open time, shrinkage reduction and improved bond strength because of addition of Proprietary Additives in the formulation.
- Eliminates the need for bulk sand and cement storage at site. 80% storage space is saved at site.
- More Cost-effective since lesser quantity is consumed with negligible wastage.
- Better water retention properties and is Self Curing.
- Seepages and water penetration through joints are negligible.
- Provides solid robust walls with improved overall construction quality.
- Gives better adhesion, more stability and durability.
- Improved build accuracy of finished walls.

- The AAC block should be well saturated/wet with water before commencement of block laying work.
- Loose particles, dust, and traces of foreign materials that may affect bonding of the SILICOfix Mortar with the block, should be completely removed.
- The surface should be structurally sound.
- Efflorescence and any other contaminant which could impair the bonding should be removed.
- Surface defects such as cracks, holes or voids should be made good prior to application.
Clean surface of the block or brick before application so that the surface is free from dust, loose particles which may affect the adhesion of SILICOfix. The block or bricks must be saturated well with water before application of SILICOfix Block Jointing Mortar.
Add 8 litres to 9 litres of potable water depending upon the thickness of the joints to be built-up for one full bag of 40 kg. Add water in stages to SILICOfix and mix thoroughly until a smooth, creamy, lump-free and cohesive paste consistency is achieved. For proper aeration of the dry additives, leave the mixture to aerate for 2 minutes to 3 minutes. The mixture is now ready for use/application. Do not add extra water to the mixture than prescribed above, as addition of extra water will lead to loss of strength and create pores.
Using a proper notched trowel, apply a thin and uniform layer of SILICOfix Mortar in thickness of 2 mm to 3 mm in horizontal and vertical joints of the block and then place the block above it. Clean the excess flush material to clean the joint areas and reuse the same immediately. Continue laying the next block with the same procedure to complete the masonry wall. SILICOfix should be applied within 60 minutes to 90 minutes of its preparation.
