Silico Fix is well well-formulated factory-ready-to-use polymerized Drymix Block Jointing Mortar that 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. Silico fix meets the requirements of greenpro ecolabel and its qualities as a green product.
It is predominantly manufactured for the replacement of traditional/conventional site-mixed cement-sand mortar and block jointing thin set adhesives. Silico Fix is so user-friendly that jointing AAC/Light Weight Blocks can be done with speed and efficiency.
Silico Fix is ready to use by just adding the required quantity of water to it at the site to achieve an easily applied mortar giving strong and durable joints of 2 mm to 3 mm. It is convenient to use and the workplace remains neat, clean and hygienic at the time of execution of masonry work at the site.
Silico Fix 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 product 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 can 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 assures, a seamless supply of 100% consistent high-quality mortars and plasters at all points of time, around the year
Pre-Wetting: Ensure the Lightweight Blocks are well Saturated/Wet with Water before Starting the Block Laying Work.
Cleaning: Remove Loose Particles, Dust, and any Foreign Materials that may affect the Bonding of SILICO Fix Mortar with the Block.
Structural Integrity: The Surface should be Structurally Sound to ensure Strong Adhesion.
Contaminant Removal: Eliminate Efflorescence and other Contaminants that could Impair Bonding.
Surface Repairs: Fill Cracks, Holes, or Voids before Applying the Mortar for a Smooth and even Surface.
Clean the surface of the block or brick before application so that the surface is free from dust, and loose particles which may affect the adhesion of silico fix. The block or bricks must be saturated well with water before application of silicox block jointing mortar. Take 8 liters to 9 liters of potable water depending upon the thickness of the joints to be built up for one full bag of 40kg silico fix powder. Pour the minimum required quantity of water into a mixing tray of a suitable size. Add half the taken quantity of silico fix in the first instant and immediately start mixing. Add the remaining quantity of silico fix quickly, but gradually and again start mixing thoroughly until a smooth, creamy, lump-free homogeneous and cohesive consistency mixture of silico fix is achieved. For proper activation of additives/polymers in silico fix, allow the mixture to stand/rest without disturbing for 2 minutes. Now the silico fix mixture is ready for use/application. Do not add extra water to the mixture than prescribed above, as the addition of extra water will lead to loss of strength and create microscopic and /or visible pores.
Using a proper notched trowel, apply a thin and uniform layer of Silico Fix 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 ush 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. Silico Fix should be applied within 60 minutes to 90 minutes of its preparation.

Block jointing mortar is a thin-bed, high-strength adhesive used for joining AAC blocks, fly ash bricks, concrete blocks, and lightweight blocks. It provides strong bonding, reduces joint thickness to 2-3mm, and enhances construction speed. Additionally, it is water-resistant and shrinkage-free, ensuring durable masonry work. Products like Silicofix Block Jointing Mortar are ideal for efficient block work, improving overall strength and stability.
