Advantages
High Bond Strength
Provides excellent adhesion on AAC surfaces for strong and durable masonry.
Thin-Joint Application
Allows thinner joints than conventional mortar, reducing material consumption.
Crack Resistance
Its flexible polymer-modified formula helps minimize cracking caused by thermal movement and structural stress.
Extended Working Time
Provides sufficient installation time, improving productivity on site.
Smooth Mixing
Easy to prepare and spreads evenly during application.
Cost-Effective
Low material consumption helps reduce overall construction costs.
Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
Application surfaces must be clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove dust, oil, and any contaminants that could reduce adhesion.
AAC blocks may be lightly dampened before application, but standing water should not remain on the surface.
Mixing
Mix 25 kg of powder with 6.0–6.5 liters of clean water.
Blend using a low-speed mixer for 3–5 minutes until a smooth, lump-free mortar is obtained.
Allow the mixture to rest for 2–3 minutes, then remix briefly before use.
Application
Apply the prepared mortar using a steel trowel or notched trowel.
Place AAC blocks onto the mortar bed and align them using a rubber mallet.
Recommended joint thickness is 3–5 mm.
Blocks should be positioned within approximately 10 minutes after the mortar has been applied.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
Application Recommendations
-
Do not apply below +5°C.
-
Do not add any additives other than clean water.
-
Avoid application under direct sunlight, strong wind, or extremely hot conditions.
-
Protect newly constructed walls from water and impact for at least 24 hours after application.
