Usage Areas
- Due to its hydraulic properties, it was used in Byzantine, Roman, Seljuk and Ottoman period cisterns, water wells, aqueducts and bath structures, so it can be used in historical buildings and places where it is desired to give the effect of historical structure.
- In indoor and outdoor plaster construction,
- In the repairs of existing plasters,
- in the repair of joints of natural stone, brick walls,
- It is used in surface repairs.
Advantages
- Thanks to special inorganic mineral fibers homogeneously distributed in the mixture, a shrinkage-free mortar is obtained. In this way, a repair is obtained that works in the same mechanism as conventional mortars and ensures continuity on the applied surface.
- The use of ready-made mortar for the reason of continuous controlled production ensures that separate product quality is obtained in each project. In the mortars prepared in the field, it is extremely difficult to ensure the homogeneity of the mixture.
- FOX HISTOCRETE HORASAN PLASTER, which does not contain water-soluble salts, is one of the best products that can be recommended for the restoration of historic masonry structures.
- The raw material of bricks, tiles and similar materials consists of a mixture of clay (kaolin, illite, etc.), quartz and feldspar minerals. If this mixture is heated at 600 – 900 ° C, the clays have different degrees of pozzolanlik depending on their temperature and mineralogical structure (He et al.). At these temperatures, the structures of clay minerals deteriorate and amorphous alumina silicates are formed. Due to this structure, calcined clays have the property of puzolan.
- It does not contain asbestos, it is environmentally friendly.
