The dry-mix masonry mortar is combined with the required amount of clean, cool water. A slight variation in the amount of water is permissible to achieve the consistency needed for the job. Adding too much water to the mixture reduces compressive strength and impairs the mixture’s workability. Mix the mixture in a bucket or mortar tub using an electric mixer or by hand until a uniform consistency is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then stir it lightly once more. Working temperature: +5° to +30°C. The prepared mixture must be used within 90 minutes.
Work must be performed in accordance with applicable building codes. Bricks must not be moved after they have set (after 5 minutes have elapsed since the brick was laid). Temporary interruptions in bricklaying must be done in stages. Protect the surface of the wall that has not yet fully set from rain, snow, wind, and freezing.
A cement-based, general-purpose masonry mortar suitable for laying walls made of fired bricks, silicate bricks, concrete blocks, lightweight concrete blocks, lightweight aggregate blocks, and silicate blocks, both indoors and outdoors. Recommended joint thickness: 8–12 mm. Compressive strength class M10 (≥10 MPa).
