Masonry Mortar is a cement-based premixed mortar composed of hydraulic binders, selected aggregates, and highperformance additives. It is supplied as a dry powder in pre-weighed bags ready to use on-site, which requires only the addition of clean water to produce cohesive mortar. Masonry Mortar is a premium quality product that contains a special adhesion additive. Masonry Mortar can be applied in thickness from 8 mm to 20 mm.
The block wall surface should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt curing compound, etc.
Before Masonry Mortar’s application, wet the entire surface with clean potable water, and the surface should look damp at the time of Masonry Mortar’s application.
Add to the mixing container 8 - 10 liters of water for each 50Kg bag of Masonry Mortar. Add the powder to the water and mix with a mechanical plaster mixer or low-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency.
Leave the mixed material to stand for 10 min and briefly remix without the addition of water.
Blend Masonry Mortar manually for small quantities and maintain the correct amount of powder to water. Mix for approximately 1 - 2 minutes, until achieving a homogeneous mix.
Neutralize the suction of the block surface with water before applying mortar. Remove any excess water.
Spread Masonry mortar with a trowel on the surface and joints where the blocks are mounted.
Fill joint in a similar way as conventional sand/cement mortar.
After stiffening, give the masonry mortar a final smoothing to remove protrusions and eliminates undulations.
Clean all tools immediately after finishing by water. Clean hardened material mechanically.
