Preparation & Application
- MORTAR MIXING: In a clean bucket, mix AAC Block Joining Mortar in 25-30% of water.
- MIXING BY MIXER :Mix first for 5-10 min by electrical mixer or hand mixer till homogeneorusly
- MORTAR REMIXING: Mix again for 2-3 minutes. Now thin bed mortar is ready to use.
- CLEAN SURFACE :Before applicationclean the surface of blocks using suitable tool like brush so that any foreign material is not held on the blocks.
- WET SURFACE: Wet the surface of blocks before applying mortar.
- MORTAR SPREAD: Should be spread AAC Block Joining Mortar with 3-4mm thickness.
- DND: Do not disturb the wall after application of mortar for at least 24 hours.
- SETTING TIME :The setting time is affected by climatic conditions, allow stand-alone accordingly.
